The 2021 Tesla Model Y's #7 ranking is based on its score within the Luxury Hybrid and Electric SUVs category. Currently the Tesla Model Y has a score of 7.6 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 15 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Quick and agile Spacious, comfortable seats Good cargo capacity
Cons No physical controls for vehicle functions Poor cabin assembly quality Apple CarPlay and Android Auto not available
Introduced, and then discontinued, Standard Range version.Seven-seat configuration now available.
Pros Plenty of range Stunning acceleration, especially from the Performance model Convenient Supercharger network for long-distance driving Roomy seating front and rear
Cons No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration Performance model's overly stiff ride Optional third row of seats is barely usable
Other than the introduction of an optional pair of pop-up third-row jump seats, we aren't forecasting any major design or technology upgrades for the Model Y this year.
Pros Peppy electric powertrain, spacious cargo hold, cutting-edge technology features.
Cons Chassis isn't as taut as the four-door Model 3, fit-and-finish needs polish, too reliant on the touchscreen for simple vehicle settings.
Ford's Co-Pilot360 Assist—a bundle of advanced driver-assistance features—is now available as an option on the XLT model for 2021. And the Expedition receives new wheel designs on all of its trims. The lineup also introduces a two-row-only XL STX base model that starts at $51,690. Based on spy photos, we expect the 2022 Expedition to undergo a mid-cycle refresh that brings a giant, vertical touchscreen infotainment system (likely a 15.5-inch display inherited from the Ford Mustang Mach-E EV) as well as a more rugged trim level, possibly called Timberline.
Pros Spacious cabin, turbo V-6 makes plenty of power, stout towing capacity.
Cons Plasticky interior trimmings, feels exactly as large as it is from behind the wheel, expensive upper trims.
New XL base trim, available only with a five-seat configuration and in non-Max form.Co-Pilot360 Assist suite of safety features now optional on XLT trim.
Pros Cavernous interior with plenty of passenger and cargo space Quick acceleration from strong V6 engine Comfortable front seats Tows more than similarly sized SUVs
Cons Disappointing real-world fuel economy Large size and slow steering make it cumbersome to drive
