2024 Tesla Model Y SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Tesla Model Y is a fully electric small crossover SUV. It comes in three main versions: Standard, Long Range and Performance. Midway through the model year, Tesla discontinued the Model Y Standard and revised the Long Range to be either Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive or Long Range All-Wheel Drive. The Model Y seats five, and Long Range All-Wheel Drive versions have an optional third-row seat that raises seating capacity to seven. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Model Y's features and options.

Standard
The single-motor rear-wheel-drive Standard is equipped with:

  • 260 miles of range
  • Tesla-quoted 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic 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

Every Model Y also comes with:

  • 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 Rear-Wheel Drive
This replaced the Standard version midway through the model year. It has:

  • 320 miles of range
  • Tesla-quoted 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds

Long Range All-Wheel Drive
Comes with an additional motor to give the Model Y all-wheel-drive capability.

  • 308 miles of range
  • Dual motors and all-wheel drive
  • Tesla-quoted 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds

Performance
This sportier version offers:

  • 279 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 of seats increases capacity for up to seven passengers (Long Range All-Wheel Drive)
  • 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.)

Note: Tesla discontinued the Enhanced Autopilot option package midway through the model year and added its features to the Full Self-Driving Capability package.

Which Model Y trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the Long Range model since it offers plenty of battery range and more than enough performance for most. It will also save you a few thousand over the Model Y Performance, which is a blast to drive but has a stiffer ride and less range.
