What reviewers say
Both road tests praise the extra cabin space, flexible six-seat layout, responsive performance and improved ride. Carsales finds the third row usable for adults, while DriveLife describes a knees-up position better suited to children. DriveLife finds little difference between damper modes and criticises coarse-road tyre noise, rear visibility and automatic wipers; Carsales wants roof sunshades.

- Powertrain
- Electric
- 0–62 mph
- 4.5–5 s
- Engine or motors
- Dual-motor all-wheel drive. US Premium AWD: Tesla publishes 4.4 seconds 0–60 mph, which is not a 0–62 mph figure.
- Drive
- Dual-motor all-wheel drive. Second-row captain's chairs and two third-row seats form a 2–2–2 seating layout.
Range and charging
- Zero-emission range (WLTP)
- 423 miles
- Fastest charging
- 250 kW
- Range detail
- Australian Premium AWD is rated at 681 km WLTP (423 miles). Tesla China's current October 2026 specification states 776 km CLTC; the original 2025 launch version was rated at 751 km CLTC. CLTC figures are not placed in the WLTP comparison row. Tesla's September 2025 first-delivery announcement is reported directly by CnEVPost; Australian sales followed in March 2026. Regional 0–100 km/h claims are 5.0 seconds in Australia and 4.5 seconds in China. United States: 332 miles EPA estimated, which is not a WLTP result and is therefore omitted from the structured range field.
- Charging
- Up to 250 kW DC Supercharging. Tesla's current Chinese page confirms external power with the Tesla Outlet Adapter; the Australian page also lists this feature. Tesla does not publish usable battery capacity on these product pages.

- Size
- Australian product page lists 4,969 mm length, 1,668 mm height and 2,088 kg weight; Chinese page lists 4,976 mm length, 1,668 mm height and the same weight. Width excluding mirrors is 1,920 mm; folded mirrors 1,982 mm; extended mirrors 2,129 mm; wheelbase 3,040 mm (Tesla manual). Product pages give 169 mm ground clearance; the Hong Kong manual gives 166 mm unladen and 118 mm laden and a different 1,664 mm height. Values vary by region/configuration. Standard 19-inch wheels; continuous variable damping adjusts suspension to road conditions. US maker specifications use 195.6 inches length, 65.7 inches height and 4,612 lb curb mass; these regional figures are not substituted into the metric Australian headline.
