Why it stands out

The 2017 Tesla Model X stands out as a midsize electric crossover that was built to feel unlike a conventional SUV. It shares about 30% of its content with the Tesla Model S, and its most recognizable feature is the double-hinged Falcon Wing rear doors that open upward instead of outward. It also offers two- and three-row configurations with seating for up to seven passengers, which helps explain why it has long appealed to buyers who want family utility without giving up Tesla’s distinctive design and tech-forward identity.

For 2017, the Model X had already moved beyond its launch setup in a few important ways. The base 60D model was dropped that year, and Tesla added a new 100 kWh battery with boosted range and standard adaptive air suspension. The model also retained the features that made it feel especially advanced for its time, including the 17-inch infotainment touchscreen, panoramic glass roof, 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. Buyers looking at this year also got dual-motor all-wheel drive, while Ludicrous Mode remained available on the 90D and standard on the P100D, underscoring the Model X’s unusual mix of utility and quick acceleration.

At the same time, the 2017 Model X was not without drawbacks. The buying guide notes that early Model X SUVs were plagued with suspension and build quality issues, and the Falcon Wing doors were particularly problematic. It also says Tesla has had build quality issues more broadly, and the pros-and-cons summary points out that the Model X lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, has a cramped third row, and can be tricky to maneuver in tight spaces because of those doors. Even so, the 2017 Model X remains distinctive for buyers who want a large, premium electric SUV with standout packaging, strong performance, and a long list of advanced features.
