But it&rsquo;s not just about added space. Based on the filings and industry reports, this version brings more power along with the stretched cabin, signaling a meaningful update to the existing lineup. It&rsquo;s expected to launch in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/china\/\">China<\/a> this fall, with a North American debut potentially following soon after.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Six-Seat Layout With Extra Room<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>First and foremost, let&rsquo;s break down the details. This new Model Y L features six seats, not seven, so expect it to roll out with captain&rsquo;s chairs in the second row. It&rsquo;s 4,976mm long or 186mm (7.3 inches) longer than the normal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla-model-y\/\">Model Y<\/a>. It&rsquo;s also 44mm (1.7 inches) taller. The extra length isn&rsquo;t just an extended body like we&rsquo;ve seen in vehicles such as the Ford Expedition Max.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Tesla extended the wheelbase to 3,040mm, or 150mm (5.9 inches) longer than the five-seat Model Y. In addition to the added length, the new Y L gets unique wheels, an updated spoiler, new seats, and appears as though it&rsquo;ll be available with a new gold paint color.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tesla-6-Seater-Model-y-2-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Tesla&rsquo;s Bigger Model Y Just Leaked And It&rsquo;s Packing More Than Extra Legroom\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tesla-6-Seater-Model-y-2-1024x681.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/d778f16cly1i3g2qz4cjaj24mo3h0u0x.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Tesla&rsquo;s Bigger Model Y Just Leaked And It&rsquo;s Packing More Than Extra Legroom\" width=\"1424\" height=\"915\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/d778f16cly1i3g2qz4cjaj24mo3h0u0x-1024x658.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>The official documents also reveal that it&rsquo;ll make more power too. The five-seat Model Y makes 443 horsepower (331 kW), but the Model Y L will arrive with 455 ponies (340 kW). That should help with the additional weight on board. Notably, Tesla has hinted in the past that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/06\/teslas-latest-suv-will-soon-try-to-fit-the-whole-family\/\"> a seven-passenger version of the Model Y is coming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the MIIT filing, this isn&rsquo;t that version. Still, it wouldn&rsquo;t take much, adding a bench seat or tweaking the current layout could easily accommodate seven passengers. What remains unclear is whether the new seven-seater will follow the previous generation&rsquo;s approach, using the standard wheelbase with two tightly squeezed seats in the rear, or if Tesla plans to do something different this time around.<\/p>\n<p>The email Tesla sent to U.S. owners in June wasn&rsquo;t the only hint at a North American launch for the Model Y L. Leaks from internal code point to it being a global model. With the debut of the Model Y L, that update now appears to be just around the corner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tesla-6-Seater-Model-y-1-1-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Tesla&rsquo;s Bigger Model Y Just Leaked And It&rsquo;s Packing More Than Extra Legroom\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tesla-6-Seater-Model-y-1-1-1024x681.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla Model Y L features three-row, six-seat layout with longer wheelbase and taller profile.
