Electric SUV showdown: Edmunds compares the revamped Toyota bZ to the Tesla Model Y

Once you've decided to buy an electric vehicle, the exciting but tricky part is choosing which one to get. For a growing number of car shoppers, an electric SUV makes the most sense for everyday life. The latest models have enough range to handle everyday driving and the occasional trek out of town without much of an issue. They're also roomy for your family and have some innovative technology features. But which one to get? That's where the Tesla Model Y and Toyota bZ come in.

Tesla's best-selling EV gets a round of updates for 2026 that include revised styling, a smoother ride and a more upscale cabin. But Toyota's all-electric SUV shouldn't be counted out. It has been thoroughly overhauled for 2026, and the result is a much more compelling proposition than the outgoing model. Edmunds' experts put these two electric SUVs head-to-head to find out which one deserves a spot in your driveway.
