TESLA’S BEST-SELLING Model Y range has been extended with the launch of a long-wheelbase six-seater version, the Model Y L with deliveries scheduled from Q2, 2026.
The first-ever Tesla Model Y L, featuring a longer wheelbase, a redesigned roof line, and most notably, a six-seat interior will be available to order from March 13th 2026 in Australia & New Zealand.
Model Y L isn’t just a six-seat version of the Model Y, it is visually (and physically) larger in wheelbase and body size.
Model Y L is highly equipped with new features not found in any other Model Y.
The Model Y L is a step above the Model Y released in Australia & New Zealand in 2025 (Juniper) and will be available in Premium All Wheel Drive only.
Model Y L has a roomier cabin with a ‘comfort-focused’ seating layout appealing to Australian & New Zealand customers as a practical fully electric vehicle with room enough for six. It has increased vehicle proportions/dimensions, solid structural strength with the introduction of a lateral structural support and a more spacious interior than the current Model Y five-seat. Model Y L has been awarded a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
The six-seat layout combines the maximum use of the increased interior space with flexibility to accommodate passengers and luggage for the entire family.
