Tesla has launched the Model Y L in the United States, a stretched version of its popular crossover with a longer wheelbase and a third row of seats.
The new variant arrives as the Model X exits production, targeting families who found the standard Model Y's optional third row too cramped.
Stretched for Space
The Model Y L rides on a 119.7-inch wheelbase, 5.9 inches longer than the standard model.
Overall length increases by 6.9 inches to 195.6 inches.
The roofline is 1.7 inches higher, improving headroom. Maximum cargo capacity reaches 89 cubic feet, 15 cubic feet more than the regular Model Y.
Exterior changes include a larger tailgate, more pronounced rear spoiler, bigger windows, and a new Cosmic Silver paint option.
The US-spec version is built at Gigafactory Texas. It first appeared in China in August 2025.
Premium Launch Series
Initially, the Model Y L is available only in AWD Premium Launch Series trim.
It rides on 19-inch or 20-inch staggered alloy wheels with adaptive damping and retuned suspension.
Inside, the Launch Series includes a 16-inch central display, an 8-inch rear touchscreen, a 19-speaker audio system, heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, and heated power-reclining third-row seats.
Limited-run features include puddle lights, suede dashboard trim, floor mats, branded sill plates, and special badges.
Safety equipment includes extra window and beltline side airbags for third-row passengers, Full Self-Driving Supervised, blind spot monitoring, front-facing cameras, and integrated Grok AI.
Range and Performance
Tesla estimates the dual-motor AWD Model Y L Premium at 325 miles of range, just 2 miles less than the equivalent standard Model Y.
On a 250 kW fast charger, it can add 164 miles in 15 minutes.
The 0-60 mph sprint takes 4.4 seconds, 0.2 seconds quicker than the shorter Model Y.
Pricing and Availability
The Model Y L Premium Launch Series is priced at $61,990, which is $12,000 more than the AWD Model Y Premium and $4,000 over the Model Y Performance.
More versions are expected in the future.
Outside the US, the long-wheelbase crossover is already sold in China, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Puerto Rico, with the United Arab Emirates next.
