2026 Tesla Model Y L 6-Seater Launched in Malaysia, From RM260,000*

Following its first preview last month, Tesla Malaysia has finally debuted its first-ever three-row SUV for our market, the new 2026 Tesla Model Y L.

As mentioned in our preview report, this long-wheelbase, six-seater EV SUV is available in a single Long Range Premium AWD guise, with an indicative price starting from RM260,000.

According to Tesla Malaysia, orders for the new Model Y L can be made soon, with deliveries slated to begin sometime later in Q2 this year.

Single Premium AWD Spec with 681 km WLTP Range

As detailed prior, the new Model Y L is based on the Premium AWD guise of the regular Model Y ‘Juniper,’ featuring a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup rated at 462 PS (340 kW).

This enables the long-wheelbase SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in five seconds flat, just 0.2 seconds slower than the regular Model Y despite weighing almost 100 kg heavier. Flat out, the Model Y L can reach a V-max of 201 km/h.

Power is drawn from a slightly larger 82-kWh NMC battery pack that enables a longer WLTP range of up to 681 km for the long-wheelbase model, as opposed to the 629 km WLTP figure given to its regular twin. DC charging is still capped at 250 kW, and the claimed energy consumption for the Model Y L is rated at 12.8 kWh per 100 km, Tesla claims.

Longer with New Colourway & Wheel Option

Compared to the regular Model Y ‘Juniper,’ the new Model Y L sits longer and taller, spanning 4,976 mm long, 2,129 mm wide, and 1,668 mm tall with a wheelbase of 3,040 mm.

Besides the extended wheelbase, keen eyes will also notice that its roofline has been pulled further to the back to enable a roomier head space for the third-row passengers, making the SUV look less slouchy over the regular model.

While most of its design remains unchanged, this EV SUV does get some new exterior additions, with the most visible being the new Cosmic Silver colourway and the 19-inch ‘Machina’ Y-spoke wheels—both exclusively available to the Model Y L.

But by far the biggest changes for the new Model Y L lie inside the car, as it now features a six-seater layout spread across three rows of seats.

With a 2-2-2 seating configuration, the Malaysian-spec Model Y L swaps the three-seat bench at the second row for two captain-style seats with power-retractable armrests, as well as both heating and ventilation functions.

The six-seater model also gets more substantive third-row seats that are both powered and come with proper headrests over the seven-seater Model Y L sold in the US and Europe. Not to forget, the bulk-up also grants the Model Y L a larger maximum cargo room of 2,539 litres over the standard Model Y’s 2,138 litres of space.
