Tesla to Launch Long-Wheelbase Model Y in China at $55,720
Tesla is set to introduce a long-wheelbase version of its popular Model Y crossover in the Chinese market as early as the third quarter of this year. According to reports from financial media outlet CLS, citing sources with knowledge of the matter, the new vehicle will have an estimated starting price of approximately RMB 400,000 ($55,720). The US automaker officially confirmed via Weibo that the three-row, six-seater Model Y L will launch this fall, following the release of registration details by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The new model measures five meters in length with a 3,040-millimeter wheelbase, offering a significantly more spacious interior than the current version. Additional features include all-wheel drive, an extended driving range, and upgraded interior finishes. This strategic move highlights Tesla's continued effort to tailor its product lineup to local preferences in China, one of its largest markets, by providing enhanced comfort and utility for families through the extended wheelbase configuration.
