The 2018 Tesla Model X stands out with its electric powertrain, delivering remarkable acceleration as one of its standout features. This midsize luxury crossover SUV also boasts ample cargo space, a striking exterior design, and impressive driving range, surpassing most electric vehicles in these aspects.
Overview: The 2018 Tesla Model X is a midsize luxury SUV that competes in the luxury segment and offers seating configurations for five, six, or seven passengers. All models come equipped with all-wheel drive and an electric powertrain. The available trim levels for this year include the 75D, 100D, and P100D, as the trim lineup was reduced from four to three.
Exterior: The Model X’s exterior design is defined by modernity, featuring fluid lines, a short nose, and a rounded roof. Pronounced fenders and parallel character lines add visual interest to the side panels.
Interior: The Model X’s cabin offers a clean and futuristic layout with a center stack angled toward the driver. A massive touch screen, devoid of buttons and knobs, serves as the hub for accessing modern amenities. A panoramic windshield contributes to the cabin’s open feel and provides excellent outward visibility.
Five-passenger seating is standard, while six- and seven-passenger configurations are optional. The first two rows offer spacious and comfortable seating, but the third row may feel cramped for most adults. It’s important to note that while the third row folds flat, the second row does not fold to accommodate cargo. When using only the first two rows, the Model X provides an impressive 88 cubic feet of cargo space, which includes extra capacity from a storage area beneath the hood.
Standard features encompass ambient interior lighting, heated power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, dual illuminated vanity mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column, and a second-row bench seat.
Performance: The Model X distinguishes itself with responsive handling and swift acceleration, making it one of the most enjoyable vehicles in its segment. All models come with a single-speed automatic transmission that distributes power to all four wheels.
