Tesla Model Y L Launched in India: A Game-Changer for the Luxury EV Segment

Tesla has officially expanded its Indian portfolio with the launch of the Model Y L, a long-wheelbase, six-seater version of its globally popular SUV. Priced at ₹61.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this new variant is designed specifically to cater to the Indian preference for extra cabin space and long-range practicality.

Key Highlights of the Tesla Model Y L

• Extended Range: Offers a class-leading 681 km range on a single charge (WLTP cycle), making it one of the longest-range EVs available in India.

• Three-Row Seating: Features a unique 2+2+2 configuration with premium captain seats in the second row, a significant upgrade over the standard Model Y.

• Dual-Motor AWD: The Model Y L is the first in India to feature a Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive setup, delivering superior traction and performance.

• Rapid Performance: Despite its larger size, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 201 km/h.

• Massive Cargo Space: The total storage capacity has been increased to a staggering 2,539 liters with the seats folded.

Dimensions & Comfort

The "L" in Model Y L stands for its increased dimensions, ensuring a more spacious experience for all passengers.

The interior is equipped with a 16-inch central touchscreen, an 8-inch rear passenger display, and a premium 19-speaker audio system. For the harsh Indian summers, Tesla has included ventilated and heated seats for both the front and second rows.

Full Self-Driving (FSD) & Safety

True to Tesla’s DNA, the Model Y L comes equipped with advanced hardware for Full Self-Driving (FSD). While the standard safety suite includes emergency braking and collision alerts, the FSD capability (available as an add-on) allows for automated lane changes, self-parking, and navigating highway interchanges.

Charging Network Expansion

Tesla is simultaneously scaling its Supercharger network in India. A quick 15-minute charge at a Tesla Supercharger can add up to 288 km of range, addressing "range anxiety" for long-distance highway travel between major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.

Pricing & Availability

The Tesla Model Y L is positioned strategically in the mid-range of Tesla's India lineup:

• Model Y L (AWD): ₹61.99 Lakh

• Deliveries: Expected to commence in June 2026.

• Booking: Now open via the official Tesla India website and experience centers in Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram.
