New Delhi, April 22 : Tesla on Wednesday unveiled the new six-seater Model Y L in India, expanding its local portfolio with a family-focused electric SUV designed for space, comfort and performance. The launch took place at the Ballard Pier Downtown Experience Centre, with online bookings opening immediately on the companyâ??s official website.

The Model Y L will be available for public viewing starting April 23, 2026, at Teslaâ??s experience centres in key locations, including Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, Aerocity in Delhi and Gurugram. The company said deliveries are expected to begin from June 2026 across India.

Positioned as a premium family vehicle, the Model Y L offers a claimed driving range of up to 681 km (WLTP) and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds. It features a three-row, six-seat configuration with a focus on maximizing cabin space, comfort and versatility. The second-row captain seats come equipped with powered armrests, ventilation, heating and one-touch folding, while the third row offers power recline, climate control vents and easy-fold functionality.

The vehicle also emphasises ride comfort and refinement. It includes acoustic glass, an upgraded suspension system and adaptive damping technology to improve handling and reduce road vibrations.

A premium in-car experience is supported by an 18-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, along with connected features such as live traffic visualization, satellite-view maps, real-time camera access and streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and Netflix.

Tesla has priced the Model Y L starting at Rs 61.99 lakh, with financing options beginning at Rs 49,000 per month. The launch marks another step in Teslaâ??s expansion in India, where the company is also strengthening its charging and service infrastructure.

Currently, Tesla operates five Supercharger stations in India, with a total of 20 Superchargers and 14 Wall Connectors. The company plans to add seven more Supercharger stations along major highways connecting cities such as Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.

On the service front, Tesla continues to rely on its direct-to-customer model, offering over-the-air software updates and remote diagnostics to minimise maintenance requirements.
