Tesla has added a more practical option to its India line-up with the Model Y L. Compared with the standard Tesla Model Y, the new Tesla Model Y L, a long-wheelbase version, brings a larger cabin, a bigger battery pack, all-wheel drive and extra equipment, while keeping the price gap relatively small.

We've compared the two in a detailed comparison to make it easier for you to pick the right one for you:

Tesla Model Y vs Model Y L: Cabin

The biggest difference between the two versions is packaging. The standard Model Y measures 4,790mm in length, while the Model Y L stretches to 4,969mm. That 179mm increase helps Tesla add a third row and create a six-seat layout.

The wheelbase has grown from 2,890mm to 3,040mm, which should improve rear-seat space. The Model Y L is also 44mm taller at 1,668mm, compared with 1,624mm for the regular car. Width stays the same at 1,982mm. Ground clearance is raised slightly from 167mm to 169mm, too.

Tesla Model Y vs Model Y L: Battery and drive setup

The standard Model Y is fitted with a 60 kWh battery pack and rear-wheel drive. It is claimed to travel 500 km on a full charge and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.

The Model Y L gets a larger 88 kWh battery and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. That setup raises the claimed range to 681 km and cuts the 0 to 100 km/h time to 5 seconds. In simple terms, the long-wheelbase version is built to do more, both in distance and performance.

Tesla Model Y vs Model Y L: Equipment and cabin

Tesla has kept the standard Model Y as the base model in the line-up, while the Model Y L adds several upgrades. The new version comes with a larger 16-inch infotainment display and a six-seat cabin. The second row gets powered armrests, while the third row gains powered adjustment and ventilation.
