Why it stands out

The 2016 Tesla Model X stood out immediately as the first all-electric SUV widely available in the U.S., and it arrived with a distinctive shape that leaned closer to an SUV coupe than a conventional three-row utility vehicle. It was also built on the same platform as the Tesla Model S, sharing about 30% of its content with the sedan, which helped Tesla bring it to market quickly. Its signature feature was the double-hinged Falcon Wing rear doors, and the Model X could be configured with two or three rows and seating for up to seven passengers.

For 2016, the Model X combined strong performance with a long list of advanced equipment. At launch, it offered 75 kWh, 90 kWh, and 100 kWh battery packs, with the top P100D models delivering 532 horsepower and 289 miles of estimated range. Dual-motor all-wheel drive was standard, and the standard equipment list included a 17-inch infotainment touchscreen, a panoramic glass roof, a frunk, navigation with real-time traffic updates, free charging on Tesla’s Supercharger network, LED headlights, keyless entry, power Falcon doors, and a power liftgate. It also offered features such as seat heaters throughout the cabin, a heated steering wheel, cooled front seats, leather upholstery, and the semi-autonomous Enhanced Autopilot system.

As a used SUV, the 2016 Model X is appealing for buyers who want standout design, strong acceleration, and a premium, tech-heavy cabin. The tradeoffs are worth noting, though: Tesla’s early Model X years were plagued with suspension and build quality issues, and the Falcon Wing doors were particularly problematic. The model also lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the third row is cramped. Even so, the 2016 Model X remains distinctive because it paired family-hauling versatility with unusual doors, impressive range for its time, and a level of technology that still helps it feel special.
