2026 Tesla Model Y Trims Comparison
Which 2026 Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend getting the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (also called the Premium Rear-Wheel Drive). It provides the best combination of features and range for the price. But if you want extra traction for wintertime driving on snowy or icy roads, the Long Range All-Wheel Drive (also called the Premium All-Wheel Drive) is certainly the way to go.

Soon after, Tesla introduced the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive and Long Range All-Wheel Drive versions. Later in the model year, Tesla gave them new names: Premium Rear-Wheel Drive and Premium All-Wheel Drive. It also introduced the Model Y Standard, a new base version, and the Model Y Performance.
