Tesla Begins Delivering Model Y L in India: 6-Seater Electric SUV Offers 681 km Range

Tesla has officially started delivering the Model Y L to customers across India, expanding its premium electric vehicle lineup in the country. Designed as a family-focused electric SUV, the Model Y L introduces a three-row, six-seat cabin layout and a long driving range.

Imported from Tesla's manufacturing facility in China, the Model Y L is priced at ₹61.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV targets buyers looking for a spacious, technology-rich electric vehicle with seating for larger families.

The Model Y L features a 2+2+2 seating configuration with captain seats in the second row, offering improved passenger comfort compared to conventional five-seat SUVs. Tesla claims the electric SUV can travel up to 681 km on a single charge under WLTP testing standards.

Power comes from a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 5 seconds. The vehicle also offers up to 2,539 litres of cargo space when seats are folded, making it suitable for long-distance travel and family road trips.

Inside the cabin, Tesla continues its minimalist design philosophy with a large central touchscreen that controls most vehicle functions. Features include a panoramic glass roof, premium sound system, wireless charging, rear passenger display, multiple charging ports, and advanced driver assistance technologies.

Tesla is also offering financing options in India to make ownership more accessible. The company is gradually expanding its presence through experience centres in key cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram.

With deliveries now underway, Tesla is strengthening its position in India's premium EV market while catering to customers seeking larger electric SUVs with extended range and advanced technology.
