Tesla today launched a new five-seat Model Y variant in China, boasting the longest range in the SUV's lineup, following a similar move for the Model 3 sedan three months ago. The Model Y variant -- the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive Edition -- starts at 288,500 yuan ($40,500), boasts an 821-kilometer CLTC range, making it the longest-range Model Y available. 

The introduction of the Long Range RWD Model Y brings the full Model Y series in China to four options: 

Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) from 263,500 yuan ($36,900), 

Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) from 288,500 yuan ($40,500), 

Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD) from 313,500 yuan ($43,900), 

Model Y L (Six-seater version) from 339,000 yuan ($47,500). 

The new variant costs an additional 25,000 yuan ($3,500), or 9.49 percent, compared to the entry-level model with a CLTC range of 593 kilometers, priced at 263,500 yuan. Under the hood, the Long Range RWD Model Y is equipped with a 78.4 kWh LG ternary lithium battery pack, enabling its 821 km CLTC range. 

Power comes from a single rear-wheel-drive motor with a peak output of 225 kW (302 hp), allowing for a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 201 km/h. The 821-km Model Y measures 4,797 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and 1,624 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,890 mm -- identical to the current five-seat Model Y on sale. 

An exterior feature is the adoption of Tesla’s patented diffuse reflection technology at the rear, which is expected to become a key identifier for the new model. 

Inside, the new Model Y continues with the family-style interior, featuring a standard 15.4-inch front touchscreen and an 8-inch rear touchscreen, both supporting Bluetooth connectivity. Passengers can enjoy music, movies, and games from any seat, as well as control seat heating.

A stronger model mix and rapid early take-up for new SUVs have lifted the Chinese EV maker back into contention, though sustained deliveries and margins remain the key proof points NIO ES9 SUV NIO Group’s latest order surge marks a sharp improvement in competitive momentum, with roughly 100,000 firm orders booked across its three brands in the four weeks to mid-June 2026, according to Goldman Sachs’ research . The same data put the group's two-week total above 47,000 units, suggesting that demand remained resilient after the initial launch spike for its flagship ES9 SUV.
