The Tesla Model Y lineup in India has expanded with a new long-wheelbase variant called the Model Y L, priced at ₹61.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This version is designed for buyers who want more space, more features, and better performance. It introduces a 6-seater (2+2+2) layout, making it more practical for families, while also becoming the first Model Y in India with dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD). Bookings are now open, and deliveries are expected to begin from June 2026.
Performance & Range
The Model Y L focuses on both efficiency and performance. It offers an impressive 681 km WLTP range, which is currently the highest in the Model Y lineup in India. The AWD setup helps it accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 5 seconds, making it quick for its size. Although Tesla doesn’t officially reveal full specs, it is expected to use an 85 kWh battery pack, producing around 514 hp and 590 Nm torque.
Another major advantage is fast charging. With Tesla’s Supercharger network, the SUV can add up to 288 km range in just 15 minutes, making long-distance travel much more convenient.
Dimensions & Space
The biggest highlight of the Model Y L is its increased size, which directly improves cabin space and comfort, especially for third-row passengers.
| Dimension | Model Y L |
|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 3040 mm |
| Length | 4969 mm |
| Width | 1982 mm |
| Height | 1668 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 169 mm |
Compared to the standard version, the longer wheelbase (+150 mm) makes a noticeable difference in legroom and overall cabin usability.
Design & Exterior
Visually, the Model Y L remains close to the standard version but gets subtle updates. The longer rear doors, slightly revised roofline, and bigger rear glass area give it a stretched look. It also features a redesigned rear spoiler and new alloy wheels. Tesla’s signature full-width LED lighting at the front and rear remains unchanged.
