Tesla has opened UAE orders for the new Model Y L Premium, a stretched electric SUV built for six passengers. The launch marks the first time the brand offers a dedicated six‑seat configuration in the region, answering a long‑standing wish among Dubai and wider Emirates families for a genuine third row without compromising the familiar Model Y silhouette.
The vehicle is priced at AED 224,990 including VAT, positioning it as a premium family option in a market where larger SUVs dominate. To create the extra cabin space, Tesla has added a 150mm longer wheelbase and extended the overall length by 179mm. The roof has been reshaped to raise second‑row headroom by roughly 70mm, while the rear doors and windows are larger, making entry to the third row smoother.

Inside, the Model Y L Premium adopts a 2+2+2 layout, replacing the standard bench with individual captain’s chairs in the second row. Those seats come with heating and ventilation, eight‑way power adjustment and a recline angle of up to 125 degrees, giving passengers a comfortable, adjustable position. The third‑row occupants benefit from dedicated climate controls and power‑reclining seats, turning the rear area into a practical space rather than a cramped add‑on.

Performance has not been sacrificed despite the larger dimensions. Official specifications still promise up to 681km of WLTP range, meaning families can travel longer distances on a single charge. Tesla’s growing charging network across the UAE supports this range, reinforcing the brand’s appeal to drivers who need both capacity and convenience. Orders can be placed now, but deliveries are scheduled for November 2026, giving early buyers a clear timeline for when they can experience the expanded interior.
By introducing the Model Y L Premium, Tesla signals a sharper focus on family buyers in the Gulf, a segment that has traditionally leaned toward bigger, conventional SUVs. The added third row, premium captain’s chairs and retained range aim to blend the brand’s electric performance with the space that larger families require, potentially reshaping the EV landscape for Emirati households.
