2025 Tesla Model X

Nearly a decade after its introduction, the 2025 Tesla Model X remains one of today's more interesting and perplexing EVs. From its panoramic windshield, upward-opening falcon-wing doors and sports car-beating acceleration, the Model X blends distinctive features and astonishing performance. In five-seat configuration, cargo and passenger space is similarly impressive. But dodgy fit-and-finish and quirky proprietary tech that doesn't always play well with Apple and Android phones dull some of the Model X's luster, especially for the price.Read full review

2025 Tesla Model X Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Instant and powerful acceleration
Electric range is impressive
Three-row seating is available

Cons

Finicky upward-swinging rear doors impede functionality
Vast windshield lets too much sun and heat into the cabin

What's new

No major changes for 2025
Part of the first Model X generation that debuted for 2016

Overview

Tesla's first SUV, the Model X, is closing in on a decade old. That's ancient by modern vehicle standards, but it still feels fresh. Credit goes to novel features like its panoramic windshield and power-operated falcon-wing rear doors but also to Tesla's numerous small engineering changes and over-the-air tech updates over the last eight years. With seating for five, six or seven passengers and an EPA-estimated range of up to 329 miles on a charge, the Model X remains a compelling electric vehicle for families. And in 1,020-horsepower Plaid trim, it's about the most inconspicuous vehicle you can find for embarrassing hypercars at your local drag strip.

Edmunds spotlight: Look, Ma, no shifter

Tesla famously flouts convention at every turn — the Model X does not even have a shifter. There's no lever, no knob, no buttons for selecting drive or reverse. Instead, when the driver presses the brake pedal while the vehicle is parked, a virtual shifter appears on the 17-inch infotainment screen. Swipe up for drive, down for reverse. Drivers can also enable Auto Shift out of park, in which the vehicle's various sensors determine which direction the vehicle will be heading and automatically selects the appropriate mode when the driver enters, although the driver can override the selection using the infotainment screen. Should the screen malfunction, a secondary touch-sensitive gear selector will appear at the base of the center stack.

Competitors to consider

The EV market has grown substantially since the Model X debuted. In 2016, it was the only choice for buyers looking for a three-row electric SUV, even if its third row is strictly for children. Today, though, it faces competition from brands old and new, from the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and Kia EV9 to the Rivian R1S and Lucid Gravity. Buyers not needing a third row would also do well to check out the Audi Q8 E-tron, BMW iX, Genesis Electrified GV70 and Polestar 3.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8/10

How does the Model X drive? Performance has become the calling card of the Tesla brand and the midsize Model X upholds that reputation. The standard Model X boasts 670 hp and accelerates quite quickly. The 1,020-hp Plaid is even more brutal. Make sure to give your passengers fair warning before putting your foot down.

Balancing out that impressive speed are excellent brakes that are both easy to use in traffic and strong and confident when you need to stop in a hurry. There's enough regenerative braking when lifting off the accelerator that you can often drive around without touching the brake pedal. Though we're really not fans of the awkward steering yoke, the X's ultra-quick steering makes it feel nimble, while its low center of gravity and adaptive suspension keep body motions to a minimum. This sizable family SUV drives more like a car.

Also worth noting: The adaptive air suspension provides up to 8.9 inches of ground clearance when you need it.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Model X? One benefit of the larger Tesla models, including the Model X, is the adaptive air suspension, which significantly improves ride comfort. Even with 20-inch wheels and an exceptionally high tire pressure of 45 psi, the Model X boasts an admirable ability to absorb bumps in the road. This quality, along with a cabin well insulated against outside noise, makes for a very comfortable environment.

As far as seats go, the Model X's are pretty well cushioned and provide enough adjustments to dial in your personal comfort. But the synthetic leather upholstery lacks breathability, so even mildly warm weather can make the seats feel swampy. The Model X's climate controls are simple to use, but know that the extra-large windshield lets in a bit more heat during hot summer days than a typical-size windshield.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? Obviously, the doors are the biggest story here on the Model X. First you have the driver's door that opens automatically and can be shut without lifting a finger (brilliant!). Then you have the rear doors that open like wings (conversation starter!) and provide unmatched access to the rear seats. But they can also be liabilities in garages and other places with low ceilings.

The user interface is one of the few areas where Tesla has taken a step back with the Model X. A few years ago, Tesla removed the traditional column stalks and replaced them with touch-sensitive buttons, which makes simple everyday actions much more distracting. Even changing lanes requires you to take your eyes off the road momentarily to press the correct arrow button. We also suggest opting for the traditional steering wheel instead of the gimmicky yoke. It'll take a little while to learn the big 17-inch touchscreen's menu structure.

Interior space is generous in the first and second rows. The complex falcon-wing door mechanisms intrude somewhat on third-row headroom. Oh, and that aforementioned extra-large windshield provides a panoramic view out like no other.

Technology

7/10

How’s the tech? For all the technological marvels in the Model X, there are some shortcomings. The lack of smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a big drawback, and Bluetooth is a poor substitute. If you're parked, you've got access to an internet browser that allows you to do stuff like watch Netflix or scroll through YouTube videos — provided you're subscribed to a Tesla data plan or connected to Wi-Fi.

The Model X's advanced driver aids also didn't prove as robust as those in other Teslas we've tested. The adaptive cruise control was prone to false positive collision warnings, and lane centering seemed to favor the driver-side line instead of the center. The real-time digital map of all the cars and motorcycles around you is pretty neat to see, and we like that you can pull up the rearview camera anytime you want.

One of Tesla's greatest innovations are the over-the-air updates that can add new features and system optimizations. Also, the big center screen is the largest in the industry, with crisp graphics and a stunning Google-based nav system. Our only gripe is that it can leave you temporarily mapless in spotty service areas.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? Storage is excellent in the Model X. The combination of the large rear cargo area (that includes generous underfloor storage for the five-seat configuration) and the largest front trunk in the segment makes the X the best at hauling cargo. Though we don't recommend an EV if you need to tow things over long distances, the Model X is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds.

The Model X's in-cabin storage configuration for small items is definitely more creative and better than average. There's sizable storage underneath a sliding cover with configurable drawers. We're still not convinced it's the most efficient design, but we definitely like this setup the best by Tesla so far.

The falcon-wing doors absolutely rule for car seat access, and there's sufficient room for a large rear-facing seat behind an average-size driver. Car seat anchors are tucked a bit deep, though, and the fixed headrests mean the top tethers are awkwardly routed to the side.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? The latest Model X has an EPA-estimated range of 329 miles and a consumption of 35 kWh per 100 miles, which is less efficient than the average luxury EV. But the Model X is one of the larger EVs sold and boasts impressive performance.

The X comes with an 11.5-kW onboard charger and the usual assortment of charge cord options. It also works with Tesla's nationwide Supercharger network, which can make long-distance driving a viable option.

Value

8/10

Is the Model X a good value? Overall, the Model X's pricing is pretty competitive among midsize luxury EVs even without the benefit of a tax credit. Tesla's build quality has steadily improved over the years, though the Model X's is still a bit below the competition. You do get a battery range and performance advantage, but the interior lacks the solidity of an Audi even if the minimalist design is visually appealing.

The basic warranty is four years/50,000 miles, which is about average. The powertrain is covered for eight years/150,000 miles, and Tesla guarantees that the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity over that period.

Wildcard

9/10

The Model X is engineered to wow. It'll impress your passengers with its sheer speed and panoramic windshield, and it'll entertain parents in the school pickup line as your kids pile in through an outstretched falcon-wing door. The X's theatrics have likely converted a good number of SUV fans to EVs.

Even a base Model X is pretty fun to hustle around. That's thanks to the low-mounted battery weight that makes it feel more like a car than an SUV. The immediate thrust from the electric motors becomes addicting, so much so that you might swear off gas-powered cars for good.

Which Model X does Edmunds recommend?

If you've got the extra $15K difference between the standard Model X and the Plaid, and don't mind being limited to six passengers, by all means get the Plaid. That kind of power and speed never gets old. But we don't think the standard trim will disappoint anyone. It's plenty quick and plenty comfortable with its air suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. The 17-inch touchscreen, streaming gaming system and 22-speaker sound system will also satisfy most tech aficionados.

I have had this car for about two months. I have a 2020 Model X Long Range Plus. On a full charge I get 351 miles of range, which is phenomenal! I recommend getting the 20in rims, because they give a softer more luxurious ride, and they give better range than the 22in wheels. It is a very good car for long road trips.

My worst car ever and I've had a Plymouth Van

TeslaGranny, 02/01/2021

2020 Tesla Model X Long Range Plus 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

I bought this car exactly one year ago and I have had one catastrophic failure, countless intermittent sensor failures, frequent pop up warnings about break outages, and the radio works occasionally. I can find myself driving down the road and will get a pop-up that says the sensoring isn't working and drive with caution, or that the brakes are not working well and to give myself extra … stopping time. These can just pop up out of the blue. Because the car is actually a giant computer they will resolve with reboot - stop, turn it off, let it rest, and restart - however this isn't feasible on the freeway or in other driving situations. It is frightening to drive this car because I don't know when the alerts pop up if they are computer bugs or real issues. When I had the Electronic Fuse module failure pop-ups piled up on top of each other in a period of about one minute while I was driving to get my grandson. I was just able to get the car out of traffic before the entire system shut down and the car had to be towed. Upon getting towed to the Tesla service center I came to learn that there is no one there who contacts your or helps you. All information and communication come through the App. It was almost three days before the App said anything at all - and then it told me I'd hear something in 14 days! I finally managed to find a person who offered me Uber credits to use while the car was unavailable. This was not a viable option for a 62 year old who drives grandchildren during Covid. on day 6 they got me a loaner car and I got the car back on day 8. When you go to the service center to get the car the people working there know nothing about the cars. They read the same information off of the App that the customer sees. When you pick up a car at a dealer service department the service people can talk to you and tell what happened, what they did, and why. Not at Tesla. The radio works at will. The Tesla entertainment system always works with music but the car chooses to play the FM radio and the Sirius radio on a whim. At present it has been 3 days. There is no one at Tesla to speak to or to ask for help. Two times I have tried to schedule a service appointment just to speak to someone. The last time it took 3 weeks and then they texted me on the App. No people existed. At present I am waiting for 8 days to get the text message to ask my question. The car receives software updates about every 6-8 weeks. They send really important things like more backgammon game scenarios, revised arcade games, redesigned dash board and Tesla screen. Their giant computer is filled with bugs and glitches and they never send anything that would provide for a better, safer drive. Because of Covid I drive very little - so at one year the car has 3200 miles on it. I have had a lifetime of pop-up alerts and scares for 3200 miles. I have no confidence in this car and would never drive it more than about 25 miles from home. There are no service centers available if I get far from home, there is no spare tire, and there isn't anyone to contact or talk to if I have problems. The gull wing doors - while looking cool - are really difficult and cumbersome. They allow for much less access room in crowded spaces that regular swinging doors. It is practically impossible to get a baby seat out of the care when it is garaged - and the same for accessing the child seat on the other side. I have to stoop low at the waste to get into the vehicle. It gave a great test drive and was very impressive. For the fast pick-up and smooth ride it is a great car. But as a giant computer on wheels purchased from an App that has no human backup it is a terrible investment.
