Model Y Long Range AWD (2026)
The Model Y is the crossover most families end up cross-shopping against everything else here, and for good reason: it pairs the Model 3's efficiency and charging advantage with a tall hatchback body and an enormous rear cargo well. It suits buyers who need to haul strollers, dog crates, or flat-pack furniture but still want EV running costs. The 2026 refresh sharpens ride comfort and quiets the cabin, addressing the older car's biggest complaint. Pick it over the Model 3 if cargo and a higher seating position matter; skip the optional third row unless you genuinely need occasional kid seats.
A fair price, not a deal — it's 3% above its all-time low, right around its 90-day average.
- Huge, flexible cargo area for the class
- Efficient for a crossover, with strong range
- Refreshed cabin is quieter and rides better
- Deep charging network advantage
- Pricier than comparable gas crossovers up front
- Optional third row is cramped
- Touchscreen-only controls frustrate some drivers
