【PCauto】It has been decades since Tesla launched the Model S and Model X. These two flagship models have now been updated. However, this facelift is not a revolutionary overhaul but rather focuses on detailed optimizations aimed at enhancing daily usability and range.
According to the information released by Tesla, the 2026 Model S and Model X have undergone improvements in multiple areas, including design, interior, technological configurations, and range. These changes are based on user feedback and engineering refinements. However, there are also some controversies, such as price increases and the absence of new technologies.
2026 Model S and Model X Feature Subtle Exterior Changes
The Model S Plaid version features a more aggressive front bumper and rear diffuser design, which not only enhances vehicle’s stability at high speeds but also optimizes aerodynamic efficiency. The wheel have also been updated, with the Model S now offering 19-inch and 21-inch wheels, and the Model X providing 20-inch and 22-inch wheels. These improved wheels help reduce wind resistance, thereby improving overall energy efficiency.

Additionally, Tesla has introduced two new paint colors: Frost Blue and Diamond Black. While these changes do not significantly alter the overall appearance, they reflect Tesla’s focus on detail and continuation of the brand’s minimalist aesthetic.

Interior Receives Notable Updates
The 2026 model introduces a multi-color ambient lighting system supporting dynamic animation effects, covering the instrument panel, center console, and door areas, enhancing the visual appeal of the cabin.

Meanwhile, Tesla has improved sound insulation materials and active noise cancellation technology, effectively reducing wind and road noise for a quieter and more comfortable interior environment.
Space optimization is also noteworthy, with the Model X’s third-row space increasing by 2.7% and cargo capacity expanding to 94.5 cubic feet—an improvement of approximately 2.5 cubic feet over the previous generation, which provides greater practicality for family users. These interior refinements aim to improve daily driving comfort and convenience rather than pursue luxury.
