2026 Tesla Model X Trims Comparison

Which 2026 Model X trim does Edmunds recommend?

With more than 1,000 horsepower and astonishing acceleration, the Plaid trim naturally grabs attention. You'll never get bored with that kind of power and speed, but it costs a lot more and limits you to six passengers. We recommend sticking with the standard Model X All-Wheel Drive trim. It's still plenty quick, and its air suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats make it plenty comfortable.

2026 Model X trim level differences

The 2026 Tesla Model X is an all-wheel-drive electric SUV available in dual-motor Model X All-Wheel Drive and tri-motor Model X Plaid trim levels. The EPA-estimated driving range for the All-Wheel Drive is 316-352 miles, depending on wheel size. The Plaid is good for an estimated 303-335 miles.

Standard equipment highlights are listed below, but note that Tesla adds, removes and upgrades features via over-the-air software updates frequently during a given model year.

Model X All-Wheel Drive
Offers the longest range plus plenty of standard equipment, such as:

  • Dual electric motors (Tesla quoted 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.8 seconds)
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Trailer hitch
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • Five-passenger seating configuration
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • 17-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Entertainment suite with gaming and video streaming services (usable while parked)
  • Bluetooth connectivity for multiple devices
  • Navigation system
  • 22-speaker audio system
  • Wireless charging pad

The Model X also comes with Tesla's Autopilot collection of driver assist systems, which consists of:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Tesla and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with emergency automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Model X and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Front-facing camera (gives you a view in front of the Model X's bumper and is used in Autopilot mode)

Tesla also includes its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature as standard. Despite what the name suggests, it still requires the driver to be ready to react and take over but does allow for:

  • Navigation-following capability for steering, acceleration and braking
  • Automated steering on highways and city streets
  • Traffic light and stop sign recognition
  • Automatic lane changes
  • Automated parking system

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

  • Three electric motors (Tesla-quoted 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds)
  • Torque vectoring (adjusts power to individual wheels to improve handling)
  • High-performance brakes
  • 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)
  • Yoke-style steering wheel
