Tesla Model Y extends to longer variant, set for release in Europe as well?
Tesla's Model Y Long Range (Model Y L) Makes Its Debut in China
The Tesla Model Y Long Range (Model Y L) has been introduced in the Chinese market, with deliveries set to begin in September 2025. The starting price for the Model Y L in China is around ¥339,000 (approximately $47,000 USD).
The Model Y L boasts an increased length and wheelbase, providing significantly more space in the third row and enhancing rear seat comfort. The overall length of the Model Y L has reportedly increased by approximately 178 millimeters, with around 152 millimeters of this increase being in the wheelbase.
In Europe, the Model Y L is expected to debut after its market introduction in China. The exact starting price for the new six-seater Model YL variant in Europe hasn't been explicitly stated yet, but given Tesla's usual pricing structure and the China price as a reference, the European price is expected to be higher due to taxes and import costs.
Currently, the European Model Y Long Range is priced at around £49,990 (after recent reductions). The Model X, previously available in Europe, was priced over 100,000 euros, making the Model Y L a potentially more attractive option for those seeking a larger Tesla model in Europe if priced appropriately.
Initial production of the Model Y L will occur in Tesla's Shanghai factory for the local market. Reports indicate that production has already begun. However, the location for the Model Y L's manufacturing beyond China remains unspecified.
