Tesla has formally launched the Mannequin YL, a brand new, bigger Mannequin Y with 6 seats, in China, and it begins at 339,000 Chinese language Yuan, the equal of about $47,000 USD.
After just a few weeks of teasing, Tesla has formally launched the brand new model of the Mannequin Y on its on-line configurator in China:
The principle issues we didn’t know in regards to the automobile but have been the worth and vary. These questions at the moment are answered.
The Mannequin YL begins at ¥339,000, equal to roughly $47,000 USD. It’s about $3,600 USD costlier than the Mannequin Y Lengthy Vary AWD in China.
It’s rated with a spread of 751 km (466 miles) primarily based on the CLTC driving cycle, which generally yields an extended vary than the WLTP and EPA requirements.
For comparability, the bigger model achieves roughly the identical vary because the smaller Mannequin Y Lengthy Vary AWD, due to its bigger battery pack.
Tesla has launched new pictures of the brand new model of the Mannequin Y:
Final month, the first specs and dimensions have been launched, confirming a size of roughly 180mm (7 inches) longer, a peak of about 24mm (1 inch) taller, and a wheelbase that can also be 150mm (or roughly 6 inches) longer.
Now, Tesla has confirmed just a few extra options, together with as much as 2,539 liters of cupboard space and electrical armrests within the second-row seats.
The automaker is guiding deliveries in September.
Electrek’s Take
The value is cheap compared to Tesla’s present lineup, making the improve comparatively reasonably priced.
Nonetheless, it’s much more costly than different 6-seater all-electric SUV choices in China, such because the Onvo L90, which is about $8,000 cheaper.
I’m curious to see how it is going to be priced in North America, the place I believe it might be far more widespread than in China.
Tesla must go downmarket to entry an even bigger market in China – not upmarket, however the brand new choice continues to be a optimistic for the automaker.
If the pricing matches the one in China, it shouldn’t be far more than $51,000 within the US, which I believe would make it a preferred choice.
Nonetheless, I believe it might be the tip of the Mannequin X.
