“At first glance, the Tesla Model Y looks like a jacked-up Model 3, for which you’ll pay a hefty extra amount, but a test drive reveals that this small SUV is more than the sum of its parts. To our mind, it’s also the best looking Tesla.”

“A slowish, heavy-ish crossover the basic Y may be, but it has more dynamic character than several rivals put together.”

“Despite some dynamic shortcomings and being too touchscreen-heavy, the Model Y is comfortably towards the top of the class, and with access to a charging network that’s still second to none.”

“The Tesla Model Y is an impressive EV, with rivals still seeming to be playing catch up in terms of the performance, range and technology. If you’re after a mid-sized SUV and want to make the move to electric, this has to be one of the best options.”

“The Tesla Model Y is dynamic to drive and addictively fast, and with prices ranging from £45k to £60k, makes a compelling case for itself. It’s a Model 3 with extra space and practicality it remains up there with the best in class.” (Phil McNamara)

“Another appealing model from Tesla. Range, performance and practicality are all excellent, although the Model 3 can do a lot of what the Model Y does, and for a cheaper price.”

“The Tesla Model Y Long Range five-door SUV is essentially a crossover version of the Model 3 and looks set to become a common sight on UK roads from early next year and, like all Teslas, it feels like a different world when you climb aboard.”

“The Tesla Model Y does all the things well that Tesla does well. This includes having a long driving range and lots of performance. And access to the Tesla Supercharger network is also a big benefit. It’s also more practical than the Model 3, with a hatchback and more luggage space.” (Paul Clarke)

“The Tesla Model Y offers the same range of strengths that make the similar Model 3 so appealing: it’s very fast, it’s loaded with tech features, the efficiency and battery range are really impressive and public charging is a doddle. However, the ride comfort just isn’t good enough for a family SUV.”

“If you’d like a Model 3 but need extra space, then you’re going to love the Tesla Model Y. It’s not cheap, but in terms of performance, practicality and range few rivals come close. And while you’ll never be sneaking out to take it for a drive just for the hell of it, it’ll be painless to live with not least because of that Supercharger network.” (James Disdale)

“On the road, it’s decent, but a Model 3 is better. Fast steering and acceleration mean the Model Y promises a sporty drive, but the lumpy ride quality and disappointing noise levels take the shine off somewhat.”

“The Tesla Model Y is arguably the most avant-garde compact-to-medium-sized SUV in its segment. And potentially (in top ‘Performance’ form) the very fastest too. If these sound like winning attributes in a car of this kind, you’ll know where to start your search.” (Jonathan Crouch)

“It crashes over potholes, which in turn shatters the peace of the otherwise serene cabin. It’s further proof that Tesla is excellent when it comes to new tech but is still catching up on the basics of making cars.”

“The UK spec Model Y is pricier than expected, and on British roads it’s let down by an overly-stiff ride and a boomy, rattly cabin — particularly at low speeds — but if you opt for the smallest 19in wheels, that should be mitigated to some degree. As a package, owners are likely to be delighted.”

“It has been a long wait for the Tesla Model Y to arrive in the UK, but it was worth it. This is the best electric SUV on the market for performance, features and charging infrastructure. The boot space is enormous. But the Model Y is also priced into territory beyond the Model 3 and is more expensive in the UK than it is in the US and Europe. In other words, a brilliant electric SUV, if you can afford it.” (James Morris)

“With people falling over themselves to buy the Model 3 electric saloon, the Tesla Model Y has the potential to do even better. After all, it’s more practical than the ‘3’, lacks nothing in terms of performance and has a very usable range. It’s also much better built than other Teslas – but ultimately its biggest challenge will be whether it can improve on Tesla’s patchy reliability record.”
