Tesla Stretches the Model Y L Into a Proper Six-Seat Family SUV for the US Market

Tesla opened orders for the Model Y L across the United States on July 2. The new variant stretches the popular crossover to deliver a genuine six-passenger layout with a usable third row for the first time in this lineup. Engineers added six inches to the wheelbase and seven inches to overall length. They also increased height by roughly two inches compared with the standard Model Y. These changes turn the third row from an occasional squeeze into space that works for adults on longer drives or for carpool duty with kids and gear.

Third-row legroom is now a respectable 31.2 inches, while headroom has improved to a very generous 38.1 inches. Your family will be very comfortable, and the second row will include captain’s chairs with heating, ventilation, motorized armrests, and the one-touch folding feature that makes it so much easier to get to the back. The third row features heated seats, motorized reclining, and standard child-seat anchors, which are a parent’s greatest friend. The bigger rear door apertures make it easier to get in and out; no more struggling to get the kids or yourself into the back seat. When both rear rows are folded flat, the maximum cargo volume is 89.6 cubic feet, allowing you to accommodate all of your luggage, sports equipment, or DIY project gear for a weekend without breaking out the trailer. However, if you choose a regular model Y with the third row up, you will have far less room.

An 83-kwh battery provides an estimated 325 miles of range on 19-inch wheels, but increase the wheel size to 20 inches and you’ll get about 5 miles less. Dual motors transmit power to all four wheels, propelling you from 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds. Plus, with a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, you may tow small trailers or boats if necessary. If you’re looking at three-row electric vehicles, the Model Y L is up against the likes of the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9, but what sets it apart is its ability to outperform them on acceleration while matching range in a smaller overall package, and you can fit it into smaller spaces, which is a big plus.

Inside, you have an 8-inch touchscreen all to yourself in the second row, which is ideal for messing with the climate controls and audio while in the passenger seat. You also receive cooled wireless charging pads that can charge your phone at up to 50 watts, so you won’t have to worry about your battery dying. The sound system is significantly improved, with 19 speakers and the use of acoustic glass and adaptive dampening to reduce road noise and wind buffeting.

The Launch Series variant costs $61,990, which includes special badging, wheels, and a complimentary one-year subscription to Full Self-Driving, Supercharging, and premium connection. Once the original batch is sold out, you can expect to see further selections at cheaper prices. At this pricing, the Model Y L sits above the Model Y Performance but well below what you would have spent for a Model X, so if you want a larger model but don’t want to pay top bucks, this is a strong choice.
