2027 Tesla SUV and Truck Lineup UpdatesMotorTrendThe 2027 model year represents a period of transition for Tesla's SUV and truck lineups. Some models carry on with only light changes, while others see bigger shifts in mission, packaging, or availability. There's also a new addition to the family, and one familiar nameplate that has bowed out. Here's what to know about Tesla's SUVs and Cybertruck for 2027.1) 2027 Tesla CybertruckPhoto credit: MotorTrendExpect the 2027 Cybertruck to largely carry over unless Tesla announces another round of pricing, equipment, or software changes. The most meaningful recent change is the arrival of the lower-cost Dual Motor AWD version for the 2026 mode year, which keeps all-wheel drive and an EPA-rated 325 miles of range but drops towing capacity to 7,500 pounds and gives up some premium equipment compared with the Premium AWD model.MotorTrend Ranked: #5 in best electric trucks (2026 model)AdvertisementAdvertisementRead Our Experts' Full Tesla Cybertruck Review2) 2027 Tesla Model YPhoto credit: MotorTrendAfter a major refresh for the previous model year, the regular 2027 Model Y appears to be mostly carryover. The big change is pricing: Model Y Premium RWD and AWD trims are up $1,000, while the Performance trim rises $500. The base RWD and AWD versions carry over unchanged, and specs and range remain the same.One notable shift is seating: The standard-wheelbase Model Y is now positioned as a five-seat SUV, after previously offering a small optional third row on certain configurations. For buyers who want three rows—or something truly new in the Model Y family—the distinct long-wheelbase Model Y L is the bigger 2027 news.MotorTrend Ranked: #4 in best luxury compact SUVs (2026 model)AdvertisementAdvertisementRead Our Experts' Full Tesla Model Y Review3) 2027 Tesla Model Y LPhoto credit: TeslaTesla's compact SUV comes in a new variant for 2027 with the arrival of the Model Y L, a long-wheelbase, three-row version of the maker's bestseller. Unlike the old standard-wheelbase Model Y's tiny optional third row, the Model Y L stretches the body and wheelbase to create a more usable six-seat layout with second-row captain's chairs.Tesla lists the U.S.-market Model Y L Premium with dual-motor all-wheel drive, an estimated 325 miles of range, a 4.4-second 0–60-mph time, seating for up to six adults, up to 89 cubic feet of cargo space, and front and second-row touchscreens. Orders are open now, with early models arriving as a pricey Launch Series positioned above the regular Model Y Performance.4) Tesla Model X: DiscontinuedPhoto credit: MotorTrendFor 2027 it's farewell to the Model X, the SUV that helped define the concept of a three-row EV when it arrived for the 2016 model year. At its best, the Model X combined huge acceleration, useful range, flexible seating, and unmistakable falcon-wing doors into a package no rival could quite match.AdvertisementAdvertisementBut those same doors were also part of the problem, joining dated underpinnings, gimmicky controls, uneven luxury-grade materials, and growing competition from newer EV SUVs. Tesla updated the Model X for 2026, but it also confirmed the SUV's run is ending after the model year, closing the book with a limited Signature Series sendoff.5) 2027 Tesla SUV and Truck LineupPhoto credit: MotorTrend2027 Tesla Cybertruck: Unchanged2027 Tesla Model Y: Minor update2027 Tesla Model Y L: New modelTesla Model X: Discontinued
