Unveiled extended version of Tesla Model Y: not just more legroom

Tesla Model Y L: a new variant with three rows of seats

Although there has been no official announcement yet, data from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) confirms the development of an extended version of the Model Y. The model, designated Y L, will have three rows of seats and increased power, making it a significant updated version in the lineup. The car is expected to appear in China as early as this fall, and then possibly enter the North American market.

Details of the new model

The main feature of the Model Y L is six seats with captain’s chairs in the second row. The car’s length is 4,976 mm (186 mm more than the standard Model Y), and the height is increased by 44 mm. The extended wheelbase (3,040 mm) allows for more comfortable passenger accommodation. In addition, the model will get new wheels, an updated spoiler, modified seats, and probably a new golden body color.

According to documents, the Model Y L will have 455 hp (340 kW), which is 12 hp more than the regular version. This will help compensate for the additional weight.

Despite Tesla previously announcing a seven-seat version, the Model Y L is currently only a six-seater. However, it is possible that an option with a third row in the form of a bench will appear over time. It is not yet clear whether it will use the standard wheelbase, like the previous generation, or if Tesla will offer a different solution.

Recent data indicates that the Model Y L may become a global model. The lineup update is just around the corner, and it seems Tesla is preparing a few more surprises for its customers. Increased power and comfort make this version attractive for family buyers looking for more space without losing dynamics.
