   Tesla has officially revealed its new Model Y L, a 6-seater variant of the world's best-selling electric SUV designed specifically for the Chinese market. 

   With a longer 3,040mm wheelbase, optimized interior space, and premium features, this model bridges the gap between the standard Model Y and Model X. The specs were confirmed in China's MIIT filings, with launch set for Fall 2025.

1. 6-Seat Layout & Space Optimization

   The Model Y L introduces Tesla's first 6-seat configuration outside the flagship Model X. Unlike the cramped 7-seat Model Y, this version features a usable third row thanks to its extended wheelbase.

 

Key improvements include:

  • - 3040mm wheelbase (150mm longer than standard Model Y)
  • - 4976mm total length for enhanced legroom
  • - Optimized seat design for adult-sized third-row comfort

2. Dimensions: Between Model Y and Model X

Here's how the Model Y L compares to other Tesla SUVs:

Parameter Model Y Model Y L Model X
Length (mm) 4,797 4,976 5,057
Wheelbase (mm) 2,890 3,040 2,965
Height (mm) 1,624 1,668 1,680

   Notably, the Model Y L's wheelbase even surpasses the Model X by 75mm, while maintaining a narrower width for urban driving.

3. Design & Performance Upgrades

The extended body features:

 

Performance specs:

  • 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds
  • Top speed of 201km/h (125mph)
  • 82.5kWh LFP battery with 688km (CLTC) range
  • Standard dual-motor AWD system
Note: CLTC range standards differ from North America's EPA measurements

4. Market Positioning & Availability

   Pricing is expected to be higher than current Model Y AWD variants in China. Tesla typically charges $6,500 extra for 6-seat configurations in Model X, suggesting similar premium pricing.

   The Fall 2025 launch is currently China-exclusive. No plans for North American or European markets have been announced. This model specifically targets Chinese demand for long-wheelbase family SUVs with premium seating.
