Used 2022 Tesla Model X SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Tesla Model X is a battery-electric SUV with seating for five, six or seven people. Two trim levels are available, Model X and Model X Plaid, and every Model X is all-wheel-drive. The estimated range is 348 miles for the Long Range and 311-333 miles for the Plaid, depending on wheel size. Of note: Tesla has the ability to upgrade or add features through over-the-air updates, so features may be added or expanded throughout the model year.

Model X
Offers the longest driving range plus a host of standard equipment, such as:

  • Dual-electric motors (up to 670 horsepower)
  • Air suspension
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Trailer hitch
  • Keyless entry and push-button start
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Five-passenger seating configuration
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • 17-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • 22-speaker audio system
  • Wireless charging pad

The Model X also comes with Tesla's so-called Autopilot suite of driver assistance systems, which consists of:

  • Forward collision warning (alerts you of a possible collision with the car in front)
  • Collision mitigation braking (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Tesla and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

Model X Plaid
Equipped much the same as the standard Model X but adds mind-boggling performance with:

  • Three electric motors (up to 1,020 hp)
  • Torque vectoring (adjusts power to individual wheels to improve handling)
  • Six-passenger seating configuration

Only a few options are available for the Model X and Plaid, including:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Seating for six or seven passengers (standard Model X only)
  • Full Self-Driving Capability package (provides additional semi-automated driving assistance features, such as summoning the Model X out of parking spaces and automatic lane changes on the highway. Tesla promises this feature will support fully automated driving in the future, but currently the Model X's "self-driving" capability doesn't exist.)

Which Model X trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the standard Model X for most buyers. It's considerably less expensive than the Plaid but still plenty fast. And you can get it in a wider variety of seating arrangements, allowing you to get the exact interior layout you wish.
