In the UK, those who are looking for the 7 seater version would have to pay an extra £2,500, so the total price would be at least £54,490. Tesla has confirmed that deliveries of the updated Model Y will begin before the end of the year, so buyers have enough time to place their orders before 2025.
The 7 seater will be perfect for families and big groups, and those who have been looking for an electric vehicle that can accommodate more passengers without sacrificing performance finally have a solution. The audience is predicted to be those who want more eco-friendly EV SUVs.
What’s New With The 7 Seater Model Y?
Tesla’s Model Y now comes with two extra seats in the third row. These foldable seats are forward-facing and allow for easy adjustments to cater to more passengers. Accessing the third row is made easier through sliding second-row seats that can move forward with just a touch of a button. This feature is especially helpful for families with children who need extra space or flexibility during travel.
Passengers seated in the third row will have access to two USB-C charging ports, which helps keep their devices charged throughout the trip. This makes long journeys more convenient for everyone, especially those in the back. While the addition of two more seats reduces the overall boot space, Tesla has made sure that the storage capacity is suited for everyday use.
Even with all seats in place, the vehicle has about 363 litres of space behind the third row. This is more than enough to carry small luggage or shopping bags. Folding down the third row gives owners access to 753 litres of space for those times when extra storage is needed for larger items.Tesla said, “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 7-seater Model Y is ideal for families with children, as it offers the space needed to carry all family members, friends and the necessary equipment.”
How Does This Model Compare To Its Competitors?
Compared to the £54,490 figure for the Tesla, the Kia EV9 costs £64,995. The Volvo EX90 price is a lot higher, with prices being close to £100,000. Even though these models have more luxurious specs, the Model Y still holds its own when it comes to being the more affordable option.
Tesla’s Model Y also has a relatively long driving range as it has 331 miles on a single charge. This is a lot more than other cars that are similar, so owners can be confident when it comes to longer journeys without needing to recharge constantly. The introduction of the 7 seater option makes an attractive offer for families who want both space and range without making compromises on either front.
