Model X Plaid

The scene plays out like this: five of you land at Olbia with six suitcases, beach buckets and the particular fatigue of a summer flight. The Model X Plaid is waiting in the airport car park, the Falcon Wing doors rise skyward and the children climb in by themselves, already won over; the luggage disappears between the rear compartment and the front frunk. How airport handover works is explained step by step in our guide to delivery at Olbia airport.

From there it is holiday proper: La Cinta beach in the morning, Capo Coda Cavallo in the afternoon, dinner at Puddu or in the centre of San Teodoro in the evening — six people seated comfortably across three rows. Guests based in the area can arrange rental with delivery in San Teodoro, straight to the villa or residence.

The number is absurd enough to make you smile: 0–100 km/h in 2.6 seconds, in a six-seat SUV. Three electric motors and 1,020 hp turn every overtake on the road to Budoni into a two-second formality — no gearshift, no noise. And yet the memory passengers carry home is something else entirely: the panoramic windscreen sweeping up over your head, framing a Sardinian sky full of stars after dark.

Adaptive air suspension irons out bumps and expansion joints, regenerative braking makes one-pedal driving feel natural, and conversation stays at a murmur even at motorway pace. It is a kind of travelling wellbeing the children certify in their own way: they fall asleep on the hairpins.

The Falcon Wings are not mere choreography: they open upwards using very little lateral space, with sensors that modulate their travel near obstacles and low ceilings. In the tight car parks of the ports or the narrow lanes of a residence, that means second-row passengers board standing upright — no contortions around child seats. The six-seat configuration, with two individual captain's chairs in the middle row, leaves a walkway through to the third.

Add the rear screen to keep younger passengers entertained, multi-zone climate control and a load capacity that absorbs the logistics of two families, and you see why the Model X stands apart even within our selection of premium SUVs for rent in Sardinia. Check availability with your dates and passenger count, and we will prepare exactly the right set-up.
