2025 Tesla Model Y crash-test ratings

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings for the tested versions. More stars mean a lower chance of serious injury in that type of crash. Rollover risk is NHTSA's estimated chance of rolling over in a single-vehicle crash.

2025 Tesla Model Y NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings
Tested vehicle	Overall	Frontal	Side	Rollover	Rollover risk	Forward collision warning
2025 Tesla Model Y SUV AWD	5 stars	5 stars	5 stars	5 stars	7.9%	Standard
2025 Tesla Model Y SUV RWD	5 stars	5 stars	5 stars	5 stars	9.7%	Standard
