Why it stands out

The 2023 Tesla Model Y stands out as a compact luxury crossover that blends EV practicality with strong performance and a roomy cabin. It is based on the Tesla Model 3 and shares 70% to 75% of its parts, but its taller, hatchback-style body gives it more space and versatility than a sedan-based design. Standard equipment is generous, with 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, and Tesla’s Autopilot system. Cargo space is another major draw, thanks to under-floor storage in the rear and a front trunk.

For 2023, the Model Y also benefited from a series of updates that improved its appeal. In mid-2023, Tesla began rolling out updated high-definition cameras, ambient lighting, updated suspension tuning, and a new Autopilot processor. Range estimates for the Long Range model increased to 330 miles in 2023, while the Performance model was estimated at 279 miles. Buyers looking at this model year can also appreciate the available tow hitch with a 3,500-pound tow rating, along with optional Full Self-Driving (Supervised) capability and Smart Summon.

At the same time, the 2023 Model Y is not without drawbacks. It lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the ride is firm, and almost all controls are handled through the touchscreen. Even so, for shoppers who want a used EV with quick acceleration, a large cargo area, and a long list of standard features, the 2023 Tesla Model Y remains an appealing choice.
