2026 Tesla Model Y Trims Comparison

Which 2026 Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?

Picking a Model Y is simple at this point because there's only one version: the Long Range. You just need to decide whether you want the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive or the Long Range All-Wheel Drive. We recommend getting the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive because it's less expensive and has more range. But if you want extra traction for wintertime driving on snowy or icy roads, the Long Range All-Wheel Drive is certainly the way to go.

2026 Model Y trim level differences

The 2026 Tesla Model Y is a fully electric small crossover SUV. Tesla initially sold it in the dual-motor all-wheel-drive Launch Series configuration. Since then, Tesla has introduced the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive and Long Range All-Wheel Drive versions. Tesla has also said a less expensive version of Model Y will debut later in the year. We don't yet know what it will be called, or whether it will be for the 2026 or 2027 model year.

Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive
This version of the Model Y comes equipped with:

  • Single rear-mounted electric motor for rear-wheel drive
  • Tesla-estimated range of 357 miles (19-inch wheels) or 344 miles (20-inch wheels)
  • Tesla-estimated 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Streaming services (navigation and entertainment; subscription required)
  • Wireless device charger
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • 15.4-inch front touchscreen
  • 8-inch rear touchscreen

Standard advanced driver assist features include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Model Y and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Model Y back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Tesla Autopilot (combines adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance for hands-on low-level automated driving)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

Long Range All-Wheel Drive
Similar to the Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive but with:

  • Front- and rear-mounted electric motors for all-wheel drive
  • Tesla-estimated range of 327 miles (19-inch wheels) or 303 miles (20-inch wheels)
  • Tesla-estimated 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds

Optional for both Long Range versions is the Full-Self Driving (Supervised) package. It adds:

  • Navigation-based hands-free steering assist on highways and city streets (driver still has to pay attention and be ready to take control)
  • Ability to slow down and stop for traffic lights and stop signs
  • Active monitoring and avoidance of pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles

Launch Series
The limited-production Model Y Launch Series is a Long Range All-Wheel Drive equipped with the Full-Self Driving (Supervised) package as standard. It also has special Launch Series badging.

A Tow package is optional for all Model Ys. It adds a Class II hitch that allows the vehicle to tow a trailer with a maximum weight of 3,500 pounds.
