Tesla launches Model Y L in Singapore, first six-seater here

Always enjoyed the tech-forward nature of Teslas, but needed something bigger to ferry more onboard? You're in luck.

Tesla is now muscling in on the three-row SUV arena with the local launch of the Tesla Model Y L ('L' stands for 'long wheelbase'), marking the first time that Singaporean buyers can buy a Tesla with more than five seats from Tesla Singapore. 

The Model Y L marks Tesla Singapore's first official model here to offer buyers more than five seats 

The car was first shown off to the media at the Tesla Experience Centre in Toa Payoh on Friday afternoon (27 March 2026), during which Tesla Singapore also took the chance to show off the car's space, ride comfort, and power with an exclusive test drive experience for guests.

Considering that Tesla hasn't meddled with the styling, your only real immediate tells for the LWB variant are its black 'Gurney flap style' rear spoiler, which is said to add up to 100kg of extra downforce while integrating the third brake light; its special 19-inch aerodynamic rims; and its variant-specific badging. Also exclusive to the Model Y L is a new Cosmic Silver paintcoat. 

Variant-specific badging aside, exclusive to the Model Y L from the factory are its Gurney flap style spoiler and these aerodynamic rims. The Cosmic Silver colour seen in these pictures is also a variant exclusive

But the Model Y L is substantially larger than the standard car. It stretches out at 4,969mm in total length (a good 179mm longer), while its wheelbase - as its name suggests - has crucially been extended by 150mm. Park it next to a Model Y RWD 110, for instance, and you should notice the longer rear quarter glass. 

The Model Y L lands in Singapore solely in six-seater guise, with two individual chairs - rather than a conventional bench - perched in the second row. 

Second row occupants get their own powered chairs with heating, ventilation and automated armrests, while third row passengers also get electrically reclinable back rests, as well as dedicated air vents, USB-C charging ports, and cupholders

While these are nowhere near the ottoman seats found on larger luxury SUVs, they're still the best seats in the house since they come with powered extendable arm rests, as well as heating and ventilation as standard. The driver and front passenger likewise get powered seats with heating and ventilation, as well as adjustable thigh support. 

Meanwhile, third-row passengers are still treated to electrically reclinable back rests, alongside dedicated cupholders, air vents, and USB-C charging ports. The latter are neatly embedded in the seat bases. 

The Model Y L's boot can be expanded to a whopping 2,539 litres with all the seats folded down, which promises to be a cinch thanks to these one-touch folding buttons

For a three-row SUV, the Model Y L offers a decent amount of cargo space with all the seats in place too. Complementing its 116-litre frunk is a 420-litre boot with all six seats upright (measured as such when the boot floor is raised to reveal more storage). This can expand to a whopping 2,539 litres with both rows of rear seats folded down - all of which, by the way, boast one-touch folding.  

The level of digitalisation onboard is otherwise similar to what you'll find on the standard car. 

Ventilation and heating across the three rows can be controlled via the 16-inch infotainment touchscreen

Since the Model Y L is based on the facelifted Model Y, it gets the same snappy 16-inch infotainment touchscreen and 8.0-inch rear screen on board. Both, however, do offer added functionality.

Apart from raising or folding the seats, the front occupants can adjust heating and ventilation for all three rows. Meanwhile, the direction of airflow for the last row's air vents is adjusted via the rear occupant touchscreen. 

The car's 8.0-inch screen now comes with added functionality that helps rear passengers adjust the direction of air flow for the second and last row

But where the Model Y L sets itself apart clearly from the Model Y is with its higher level of equipment.

Standard kit includes 19 speakers, paired to the debut of what Tesla has referred to as an 'Immersive Sound X' system - that can apparently deliver a concert hall-like listening experience. To ensure that voice-operated commands can be executed with ease by every single passenger on board, the car also gets additional microphones on the second and third rows.

The Model Y L gets upgraded equipment, including a 19-speaker sound system, and an adaptive suspension system with electronic damping

On the move, the Model Y L even gets staggered tyre profiles and an adaptive suspension system too for extra ride comfort, allowing the car's "Ride & Handling Priority' to be toggled between 'Balanced' and 'Rear Comfort' modes.

Speaking of driving, the Model Y L unsurprisingly lands in Singapore as the new range-topper of the Model Y lineup, and gets a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup capable of a maximum of 378 kW (507 bhp) and 590Nm of torque. (Those are exactly the figures you'll find on the Long Range AWD variant.) All that power allows it to complete the century sprint in five seconds flat. 

A dual-motor all-wheel drive setup gives the Model Y L up to 378kW and 590Nm of torque; it's also powered by a larger 88kWh battery that provides a WLTP-rated range of 681km

Interestingly, however, Tesla has also managed to make the Model Y L even more aerodynamic than before; it boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.216Cd, making it the 'most slippery' member of both the Model 3 and Model Y lineups now. Coupled with a larger 88kWh battery, the car manages an impressive WLTP-rated range of 681km on a full charge. Said battery can support DC charging at up to 250kW too, as well as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality. 

At the media preview, Tesla Singapore also took the chance at the media preview to share about its progress in making long-distance road trips even more hassle-free for owners.

The Model Y L arrives as Tesla continues to lead the EV scene in Singapore, with extended support for owners

The American brand now offers all Tesla owners 'cross-country warranty' spanning Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, with its border-transcending support extending even to its Supercharger network. Across all three countries, Tesla drivers can now access a grand total of 74 Supercharging stations (with 366 stalls), as well as nine Tesla Service Centres and Service Express stops. 

On our shores, Tesla's presence has continued to grow as well.

After placing as the sixth-best performer of 2025 with more than 3,400 units registered, it has carried impressive momentum into 2026, and currently stands as the bestselling BEV-only brand here so far (based on January and February registrations).

First customer deliveries of the Model Y L are expected to commence in Q2 2026

Tesla also currently operates three Experience locations, 15 Supercharger stations and seven destination charging stations in Singapore, with more than 2,200 home wallbox chargers installed for owners to date.

The Tesla Model Y L is now on sale in Singapore, with indicative prices starting from $248,999 at launch (inclusive of COE).

Starting from Saturday (28 March 2026), the car will be available for viewing at all of Tesla's three Experience Centres around Singapore, with the first customer deliveries expected to commence from the second quarter of the year.
