The Model Y L features a 2+2+2 seating arrangement, providing ample space for families. It is 150 millimeters longer and 179 millimeters taller than the standard Model Y, with a wheelbase extended by 150 millimeters [1]. The increased size is complemented by a 16-inch central touchscreen and an upgraded sound system with 18 speakers and one subwoofer [1].
The Model Y L retains the dual-motor all-wheel-drive system and an 82 kWh battery pack, offering a CLTC-rated range of 751 kilometers. Despite the added size and weight, the vehicle maintains rapid acceleration, sprinting from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.5 seconds [1].
Deliveries of the Model Y L are expected to begin in September 2025, with the vehicle priced at approximately $47,000 USD in China [2]. The pricing is competitive within Tesla’s current lineup but is significantly more expensive than other 6-seater all-electric SUV options in China, such as the Onvo L90 [2].
The launch of the Model Y L in China is part of Tesla’s broader strategy to expand its market presence, especially in a region where the demand for larger electric SUVs is growing [3]. The new model aims to capture a larger share of the competitive EV market by offering enhanced passenger capacity and comfort features.
