Tesla expands Model Y portfolio with seven-seat option in Europe

Tesla

Tesla has rolled out a seven-seat configuration for its popular Model Y in Europe, catering to larger families or those needing extra passenger capacity. The option is currently available exclusively for the Long Range all-wheel drive variant, adding €2,500 to the base price. This brings the starting price to €57,490 in Germany and £53,500 in the UK.

The third row features two forward-facing seats that fold down when not in use. Tesla emphasizes the ease of access to the third row, thanks to buttons on the second-row seats that slide and fold them forward. Two USB-C ports are provided in the third row for charging devices. But don't expect adults to fit in them comfortably - these are "jump seats" designed for kids.

Naturally, the addition of a third row impacts cargo space. With all seven seats in use, the Model Y offers 12.8 ft³ of storage in the trunk. Combined with the 4.13 ft³ front trunk, this provides a total of 17 ft³ of cargo capacity. Folding down the third-row seats increases the cargo space to 26.6 ft³. For comparison, the five-seat Model Y offers 30.2 ft³ with the rear seats up and a maximum of 76.2 ft³ with the rear seats folded down. The seven-seat configuration offers a maximum of 72 ft³ of cargo space.

Tesla looks to position the seven-seat Model Y as the ultimate family vehicle. In its press release, the company stated, "The Model Y was designed from the outset to be the perfect family SUV, offering great versatility. Hundreds of thousands of households worldwide have chosen the Model Y as their primary vehicle for their daily commute and long-distance journeys. With the introduction of the 7-seater option in Germany, we are taking versatility to a new level."

The seven-seat Model Y will be produced at Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin in Germany. While initially limited to the Long Range all-wheel drive variant, it is possible Tesla will extend the seven-seat option to other Model Y configurations in the future.

The seven-seat option could potentially attract a wider range of buyers in Europe, where larger families and the need for flexible seating arrangements are common. The Model Y is already the most popular EV, and the addition of a seven-seat option can only solidify its position in the European market.
