The Tesla Model Y L is a long-wheelbase, six-seat variant of the Tesla Model Y. It was officially unveiled on July 16, 2025, and is scheduled for release in China in autumn 2025. [1] [2]
According to filings with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China, the Model Y L has the following dimensions: [3] [4]
Compared to the standard five-seat Model Y, the L variant is 179 mm longer, 44 mm taller, and has a 150 mm longer wheelbase. [1]
The curb weight of the Model Y L is 2,088 kg, which is 96 kg more than the dual-motor AWD version of the standard Model Y.
The Model Y L features dual electric motors: 142 kW on the front axle and 198 kW on the rear axle, offering a combined peak power of 340 kW (456 hp). The vehicle is all-wheel drive (AWD) and powered by ternary NMC batteries supplied by LG Energy Solution. [1]
At launch in July 2025, the Model Y L was announced to be available only in the Chinese market. It is expected to compete with other extended-wheelbase electric SUVs in China, such as the BYD Tang L, AITO M9, Li L8, and Onvo L90. [1]
In 2024, the Model Y was Tesla's best-selling model in China, with 480,309 units sold. However, sales declined by 17.5% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, following the release of the Model Y Juniper refresh. [1] [5]
The Model Y L features a unique "Model Y" badge with a stylized "Y". Tesla has shared official teaser images showing a longer side profile and new third-row seating configuration. [6]
