Used 2023 Tesla Model Y SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 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 three main trims: an unnamed standard-range version, Long Range and Performance.

Model Y
The standard range Model Y comes with:

  • 279 miles of range
  • Dual motors and all-wheel drive
  • Tesla quoted 0-60 mph time of 5.0 seconds
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 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 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)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

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

  • 330 miles of range
  • Tesla quoted 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds

Performance
This sportier version offers:

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

Main options for the Tesla Model Y include:

  • Third row increases seating capacity to seven (Long Range only)
  • Tow hitch (adds a Class II tow hitch for lightweight trailers up to 3,500 pounds)
  • Enhanced Autopilot (upgrades Autopilot with navigation-following and automatic lane changes, a semi-automated parking system and Smart Summon, which will drive the vehicle to your chosen location)
  • Full Self-Driving Capability (Tesla promises this feature will support fully automated driving, but so far the rollout of the Model Y's self-driving capability has been problematic and its future remains uncertain.)

Which Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?

It costs a few thousand dollars more than the base model, but the Long Range trim's roughly 50 extra miles of range means it gets our nod. It has more than enough range for most commuters and doesn't give up anything to the Performance model except, well, performance. It also has a smoother ride and a lower price.
