Engine or motorsRear motor: 185 kW (292 PS with launch control, 83 kWh) or 225 kW (326 PS with launch control, e-tron performance); quattro adds a front motor: 315 kW (462 PS with launch control) or 360 kW on the SQ6 (517 PS with launch control). Power and 0–62 mph figures are with launch control; bhp converted from these PS figuresDual-motor all-wheel drive or Plaid with three motors and carbon-sleeved rotors. Current UK maker peak claims are 670 hp and 1,020 hp, based on acceleration testing, simulation and battery limits.

DriveRear-wheel drive; quattro four-wheel drive on e-tron quattro and SQ6The 2025 physical refresh adds revised and retuned air suspension, new comfort components, greater noise isolation and sound-absorbing interior materials. New 20- and 22-inch wheel designs and low-resistance tyres improve efficiency.

Range detailWLTP combined: 302–335 miles (83 kWh), 366–407 miles (e-tron performance), 355–395 miles (e-tron quattro), 358–371 miles (SQ6); city up to 528 miles; depends on trimUK maker page estimates 403 miles for Dual Motor and 378 miles for Plaid without explicitly labelling these configuration figures WLTP. Main WLTP range is therefore omitted; US EPA estimates and review highway tests use different conditions. Current US maker EPA estimates: 352 miles Dual Motor and 335 miles Plaid; these are separate regional ratings, not WLTP.
Charging800-volt system; 11 kW AC (8 hours to full with 83 kWh, about 10 hours with 100 kWh); DC up to 225 kW (83 kWh), 260 kW (e-tron performance) or 270 kW (quattro and SQ6), 10–80% in 21–22 minutes; batteries 83/75.8 kWh or 100/94.9 kWh gross/netMaximum 250 kW Supercharging; actual charging rate depends on battery temperature, state of charge and charger.
Efficiency–Current UK product page: 18.3 kWh/100 km Dual Motor; 19.3 kWh/100 km Plaid. German maker labels distinguish these current values from the older 2022–2025 versions at 19.1/20.8.

All have an additional 183-litre front trunk. With third row folded: six-seat 996 litres; seven-seat 1,018 litres. Six-seat second row moves to maximum cargo position rather than folding flat. Its 2,675-litre maximum includes the front trunk, third row folded and second row moved forward, with only driver and front passenger; it is not Plaid boot space with six occupants.

Size4,771 mm long, 1,965 mm wide, 1,665 mm high on Audi UK's data; weight is Audi UK's unladen figure, 2,125 kg (83 kWh) to 2,400 kg (quattro)Current US manual: 2,271 mm wide with mirrors, 2,965 mm wheelbase; height 1,680 mm at medium suspension or 1,720 mm at highest setting. Current UK curb mass: 2,348 kg Dual Motor and 2,470 kg Plaid. Main acceleration uses German maker 0–100 km/h figures; Plaid’s 2.6 seconds subtracts rollout. The refresh also increases third-row shoulder room. The current US maker dual-motor top speed is 155 mph, differing from the UK 149 mph specification.
Release and generation details–The physical refresh was announced in Tesla’s US article on 12 June 2025 and described in a regional article dated 27 October 2025. Neither publication establishes an exact first customer-delivery date, so year precision is retained. This entry covers the refreshed hardware and current regional configurations; its 2026 model-year naming does not mean a separate generation. Tesla’s Q2 2026 investor report states the Model S and Model X production lines were decommissioned; remaining stock is distinct from ongoing manufacture. The current US maker page also states Model X is no longer in production; remaining pre-owned inventory may still be available.
Tech and safety
Infotainment–Current UK page lists 17.4-inch front and 9.4-inch rear touchscreens plus driver instrument display; 22-speaker/960 W audio, dynamic ambient lighting, heated seats, front-seat ventilation, three-zone climate control and HEPA filtration. Display sizes describe current specifications, not asserted initial June equipment.
Driver assistance–The refresh adds a front fascia camera, blind-spot indicator and adaptive headlights. Tesla Vision provides camera-based driving and parking assistance. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires active supervision and depends on regional availability; it is not autonomous driving.
Warranty–UK: basic vehicle 4 years/50,000 miles; battery and drive unit 8 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
