Used 2022 Tesla Model Y SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Tesla Model Y is a fully electric small crossover SUV with seating for five passengers. An optional third row increases seating capacity to seven. It comes in two main trims: Long Range and Performance. Feature highlights for the Model Y include:

Long Range
This trim is optimized for maximum driving distance and comes with:

  • 330 miles of range
  • Dual motors and all-wheel drive
  • Touted 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • 15-inch central touchscreen
  • Streaming services (navigation and entertainment; subscription required)
  • Wireless device charger
  • 14-speaker sound system

This safety equipment comes standard on every Model Y:

  • 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 assist (steers the Model Y back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

Performance
This sportier version offers the following:

  • 303 miles of range
  • Touted 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds
  • 21-inch wheels
  • Performance brakes
  • Lowered suspension
  • Aluminum alloy pedals

Main options for the Tesla Model Y include:

  • Third row of seats increases capacity for up to seven passengers
  • Tow hitch (adds a Class II tow hitch for lightweight trailers up to 3,500 pounds)
  • Full Self-Driving Capability (provides additional semi-automated driving assistance features, such as summoning the Model Y out of parking spaces and automatic lane changes on the highway. Tesla promises this feature will support fully automated driving in the future but so far the Model Y's "self-driving" capability doesn't exist.)

Which Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?

Go with the Long Range. Its EPA-estimated range is more than sufficient for most commuters, and while Tesla recommends you don't squeeze that much out of the battery between charging cycles, it's still an impressive number. The Model Y Performance is fun to drive but doesn't fully justify its considerably higher price and overly stiff and bumpy ride quality.
