The information is semi-official, because it actually emanates from Chinese certification documents, The vehicle should therefore be presented in more detail by the brand fairly quickly.
A Tesla Model and 5m Long!
If we do not yet know the interior arrangement, we know the dimensions, and they are … huge!
The car is 4.976m long (compared to 4.797m), is practically as much as a model x which exceeds 5m. The width does not move (1.92m), the height gains 4mm (1668) and the wheelbase therefore exceeds 3m (3040mm)
The name of the car would be Model YL
with a specific logo. We will also note the arrival of new 19 “rims”, probably as standard, in any case in China.
6 places ?
For the time being, no image of the interior has yet surfaced, but have known it that the vehicle will offer at least 3 rows and 6 places in all.
This 3×2 configuration is already very popular in the Tesla Model Xbut also in some vans like the Volkswagen Id.buzz 6 -seater that we tested last year. It is likely that a 7 -seater option is also offered on this model.
Tesla actually responds to growing demand from large families, carriers/taxi/VTC and also those who want more space on board in large SUVs. Even with 2 or 3 children, it is sometimes useful to be able to bring back a neighbor, parents or friends without using 2 vehicles.
700 Km of autonomy?
Another unknown, the vehicle’s autonomy has not been announced. With an extended silhouette, one could imagine that Tesla took the opportunity to increase the size of the batteries. We just know that it will be supplied (in China) by Lges Nanjing.
The engines also go from 220 kW to 142 kW / 198 kW But then again, it can change in Europe by the exit. VMAX is still limited to 201 km/h.
Launch at the end of the year
For the time being, Tesla has not yet presented the vehicle in detail, and only the Chinese model is mentioned here. However, it is very likely that this declination will arrive in Europe and the USA in stride.
Tesla France had us the arrival of a three -row version in the coming monthsso it only remains to wait for the official announcement and above all … prices!
