Is the Model Y L a good 3-row SUV? We’re finally getting behind the wheel of the 2027 Tesla Model Y L to answer exactly that. For years, buyers wanting a 3-row Tesla SUV had to squeeze into the cramped optional third row of the standard 2027 Tesla Model Y or shell out big bucks for a larger vehicle. Now, Tesla has stretched its best-selling vehicle to create a true family hauler.
When comparing the Tesla Model Y vs. Model Y L, the differences in size and length are immediately obvious. The 2027 Tesla Model Y L is 7 inches longer overall and has a 6-inch-longer wheelbase than the standard Model Y. This extra space transforms it into a genuine six-seat Model Y with second-row captain's chairs. You get a maximum of 31 inches of third-row legroom, making it far easier to install child safety seats, secure regular car seats, or even fit actual adults comfortably.
On the performance front, it retains the punchy horsepower and acceleration you expect from a Tesla, hitting 0-60 mph in a brisk 4.4 seconds. When it comes to the Model Y L range, the EPA estimates a very solid 325 miles on the standard 19-inch wheels.
But what about the Tesla Model Y L's price? The Launch Series currently comes in at $63,380. While that is a step up from the base models, the added utility and impressive 3-row Tesla Model Y passenger space make it a seriously compelling package. Stick around as we test out this brand-new EV!
