Why it stands out

The 2020 Tesla Model Y stands out as a compact luxury crossover that blends SUV practicality with Tesla’s familiar design language. It was based on the Tesla Model 3 and shared 70% to 75% of its parts, but it was slightly longer, wider, and notably taller, with coupe-like styling and a rear hatch that added versatility. That shape gave it lots of space, and the cabin carried the same general design theme as the Model 3 inside and out.

What made the 2020 Model Y especially appealing was how much it offered from the start. Standard equipment included all-wheel drive, two electric motors, 12-way power-adjustable seats, a 15-inch infotainment touchscreen that doubles as a gauge cluster, heated front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, a glass roof, four USB ports, video streaming capability, a top speed of 150 mph, and Tesla’s Autopilot system. It also had generous cargo space with under-floor storage in the rear and a front trunk, and buyers could add features such as larger wheels, a tow hitch with a 3,500-pound tow rating, Full Self-Driving capability, and Smart Summon.

The 2020 Model Y’s strengths were its impressive acceleration, large cargo area, and long range, with the Long Range model rated at about 316 miles and the Performance model at 291 to 315 miles depending on wheel size. Its main drawbacks were also clear: it lacked Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, had a firm ride, and routed almost all controls through the touchscreen. Even so, for buyers who wanted a used EV with strong range, lots of standard features, and a practical body style, the 2020 Tesla Model Y was an easy car to understand and a compelling one to shop.
