"A few weeks before Tesla announced those two models, across the world, Tesla released an important variant of the Model Y the Model YL. This six-seater long wheelbase version of the new Model Y is an important car, especially in China, where three-row electrified crossovers and SUVs are becoming all the rage amongst China's middle class. Mark Rainford of the YouTube channel Inside China Auto got his hands on one for review, and his opinion seems to be somewhat mixed."
"There's a lot to like about the Tesla Model Y long wheelbase, but some of it feels a little too low effort to compete with some of the biggest names in Chinese three-row crossovers. To be fair, Rainford does praise the Model Y's driving dynamics. Soft suspension, light steering, not engaging to driveyou can put nearly every Chinese car in that bucket, he said."
The Tesla Model YL is a long-wheelbase, six-seat variant of the Model Y sold in China and expected in Europe. The vehicle delivers excellent balance and poise, with responsive inputs, soft suspension and light steering that produce engaging driving dynamics compared with many Chinese rivals. The Model YL targets China's growing appetite for three-row electrified crossovers. However, the ride can feel bouncy and the third row is awkwardly packaged with limited legroom and headrests positioned close to the glass, reducing family-hauler practicality. Some details and comfort features feel low-effort compared with competitive Chinese three-row crossovers. U.S. availability of the three-row Model Y remains unclear.
