The 2026 Tesla Model Y is a battery-electric SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Juniper generation. The Long Range AWD is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Long Range AWD version develops 351 hp and 493 Nm (364 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 4.8 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 201 km/h (125 mph). Its power output is close to the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 20% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 78.1 kWh. The recorded electric range is 574 km (357 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.7 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 250 kW. Its listed range is about 14% above the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,797 mm (188.9 in) in length, 1,920 mm (75.6 in) in width, and 1,624 mm (63.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,890 mm (113.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 854 litres (30.2 cu ft), expanding to 1,842 litres (65.0 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,003 kg (4,416 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,600 kg (3,527 lb). That cargo volume is about 56% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Long Range AWD and Performance. Across the range, the specifications span 351 hp to 534 hp, 3.5 s to 4.8 s, and 504 km to 574 km, while listed starting prices run from $45,990-$56,490. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2026 Tesla Model Y is strongest on cargo capacity and price. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
