The 2025 Model Y gets a lot right for an electric SUV. It can go more than 300 miles on a charge and can charge quickly and easily. It's also relatively roomy and practical. A new Model Y is also on the way that should improve the vehicle's ride quality and overall refinement.Read full review

What's new

2025 Model Y is unchanged, but a comprehensive refresh happens for 2026
Part of the first Model Y generation introduced for 2020

Overview

Tesla's Model Y midsize SUV is on track to make history. While Tesla doesn't break out sales numbers of specific models, EV industry watchers calculate that the Model Y has both surpassed its sister car, the Model 3 sedan, in total sales and will become the best-selling EV of all time. Heady claims surely, so it follows that Tesla will keep the good times rolling with the 2025 Model Y. While the Model Y technically carries forward into the 2025 model year unchanged, Tesla did release a heavily refreshed Model Y — which it calls the New Model Y — early in the calendar year. It debuts for the 2026 model year, and it is distinguished by its sleeker front end, new taillight design, and a new rear touchscreen display for backseat passengers to control climate and infotainment. New features like ventilated seats and ambient lighting also come standard.

EPA Estimated Range

EV batteries lose 1-2% of range per year. Est. range for this car is 286 miles after 8 years.^{Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.}

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

All the changes for the new 2025 Model Y

While the refreshed 2026 Model Y has all the fancy new gizmos, don't count the older version out just yet. The current Model Y is one of the top EVs in overall range, able to travel up to 337 miles, according to the EPA. Opting for the sportier Performance trim shaves range to 277 miles but delivers zero-to-60 mph acceleration in just 3.5 seconds. In addition to its impressive range, the Model Y offers an optional third row — tight but usable — making it a viable alternative to the larger Model X if you only occasionally need to carry up to seven passengers. Cargo space is also generous.

Competitors to consider

The Model Y once had the small-to-midsize electric SUV class to itself, but today you've got plenty to choose from. The Volkswagen ID.4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E cost about the same as the Tesla and are roughly the same size, the ID.4 being the smaller of the group. The Mach-E is more fun and agile, while the Volkswagen delivers a smoother ride. Newer alternatives include the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Chevrolet Equinox EV. Or if you want an EV with a truly usable third row, check out the Kia EV9.

What’s it like to live with?

Our test team lived with the Model Y and put it through its paces over thousands of miles and months of real-world use. Check out our long-term Tesla Model Y test page for all the details on how it held up over the duration of our test, how reliable it was, and what it's like to live with. Our test Model Y was a 2020 Performance but some of our observations should still apply to the 2025 Model Y.

Great

8.1

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Model Y drive? Acceleration isn't a weak point. During Edmunds' testing, the Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive needed just 4.8 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill. That's noticeably quicker than most rival electric SUVs. We've also tested the Model Y Performance. It zipped from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

Steering and handling are also laudable. The steering is quick to respond to inputs, giving you a sense of control and connection through a corner. There's minimal body roll too, especially for an SUV. In-town drivability is excellent. The Model Y's strong regenerative braking and one-pedal driving mode allow you to drive nearly exclusively using just the right pedal and barely use the brakes in routine driving.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Model Y? The Model Y's cabin provides good comfort in some areas and disappoints in others. The seats are well padded and provide ample support and the seat heaters warm quickly. But the synthetic leather upholstery doesn't breathe particularly well and can feel stifling in hot weather. The climate control, like everything else, is touchscreen-operated. It can cool and heat the cabin well, but it has to work extra hard if the sun is out and beaming through the Y's expansive glass roof. You can remotely precondition the cabin before you get in, which is convenient.

The Long Range model is a huge step up in ride quality over the Performance model. The ride of the Long Range is much more livable (especially on the 18-inch wheels), though we still wouldn't call it plush. Smaller bumps and cracks tend to make their way into the cabin. That said, the Model Y does a commendable job of filtering out wind and ambient noise, creating a pretty serene cabin experience.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Model Y's cabin is spacious, with lots of headroom and legroom for all occupants. Getting in and out is easy thanks to the wide-opening doors, tall roof and low step-over height. The Model Y's available third-row seat is cramped but does add seven-passenger capability should you need it in a pinch.

Alas, the large touchscreen, while it looks cool and modern, is the Y's single gateway to controlling nearly everything. There's a learning curve to using the controls, and the system is generally distracting to use while driving. Another issue: If the touchscreen flakes out, you lose the majority of access to the Model Y's controls.

Forward visibility is impressive thanks to the tall and wide windshield and short hood. There's only a bit of obstruction from the large front windshield pillars when you're making turns. Rear visibility, however, is like what you get in a sport coupe. The slim rear window and high rear beltline greatly restrict what you can see out of the back.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? There are significant pros and cons when it comes to the Model Y's technology features. The big center screen is easy to see and has crisp-looking graphics. The navigation system, which is Google-based, is also clear and easy to read. But the system can be slow to update in spotty service areas, leaving you temporarily mapless. The sound quality from the 14-speaker audio system is immersive.

The biggest downside is the lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. In the Model Y, you use Bluetooth to connect your phone and then sign in to use the various onboard apps such as Spotify. It's fine but we find it easier to use feature-packed capability of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is what most rival EVs have. On the upside, you'll have access to an internet browser that allows you to do stuff like watch Netflix or scroll through YouTube videos — while parked, of course, and provided you're up-to-date on your Tesla data plan. One of the greatest innovations from Tesla is constant over-the-air updates that can add features and system optimizations.

The Model Y's advanced driver aids perform great in stop-and-go traffic, but they have proved slightly annoying at highway speeds or along roads with parked cars. The Full Self-Driving (Supervised) option allows for hands-free, navigation-based driving on many roads. It's a pretty amazing feature but we've experienced too many disconcerning choices in traffic with it to fully trust that it will make the best decisions.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Model Y can hold a good amount of stuff. The rear seats don't fold entirely flat, but there's a wide opening and an easy load-in height. The removable cargo floor provides even more rear storage underneath. There's also a front trunk, which is among the biggest you'll find in a small electric SUV. The center console has a sliding bin cover and sueded smartphone charging spaces.

Child safety seat accommodation is average for an SUV of this size. There's sufficient space for even the largest of child seats. The lower car seat anchors, however, have small access points and are hard to loop through. The top tether points are on the lower side of the rear seats and can be hard to reach.

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: The following relates to the 2021 Model Y Long Range, which is what we most recently tested. EPA range and efficiency estimates have changed slightly since then, but our general takeaways still apply.] The EPA estimates the Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive has a maximum range of 326 miles and uses 27 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles of driving. Both are very impressive for an electric SUV.

In Edmunds' real-world testing of the 2021 Model Y Long Range, we observed a total range of 317 miles at a consumption rate of 26.2 kWh/100 miles running in the max-range battery mode, which charges the battery to full capacity. This mode is not recommended for daily use and should be reserved for longer trips. While the Model Y didn't quite match its range estimate in our test, its 300-plus-mile range is more than sufficient for most people as long as you're driving conservatively.

One big advantage to the Model Y is full access to Tesla's Supercharger network. It provides trustworthy and reasonably priced recharging that comes in handy when you need a bunch of range quickly (such as on road trips).

Value

8/10

Is the Model Y a good value? The Model Y Long Range model is less expensive than the Performance but still well into luxury SUV pricing territory. Is it worth it? The appeal of the Model Y depends on what you value. If it's speed and space for its size, the Model Y is a relative bargain compared to other luxury electric SUVs. But if interior design and comfort features are priorities, the Model Y is slightly disappointing.

In terms of warranties, the Y's is a bit below average for a luxury SUV but comparable to coverage for a luxury EV. You get four years/50,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and roadside assistance. Tesla covers the battery for eight years/120,000 miles and guarantees 70% retention of the battery life over that period.

Wildcard

9/10

The Model Y is properly quick and fun behind the wheel. We also like the way the Model Y looks. But if you're somebody who likes owning something uncommon, the Model Y's EV ubiquity will likely be a bit of a turnoff.

Which Model Y does Edmunds recommend?

The standard Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive has plenty of driving range and exciting performance. Unless you need all-weather traction or want to impress your friends with whipcrack acceleration, you'll probably find this version suits your needs just fine.
