Tesla has brought back the seven-seat option for its refreshed Model Y in several European markets, adding €2,500 to the price of the Premium Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant. Deliveries are set to begin in April 2026 from Gigafactory Berlin. The move comes amid anticipation for the more spacious Model YL, which has EU approval but is not yet available in the region.
Tesla launched the seven-seat configuration for the Model Y Juniper on February 27, 2026, making it available for order in countries including Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. The option is exclusive to the Premium Long Range All-Wheel Drive model, increasing its base price from €52,990 to €55,490, plus a €980 processing fee. This refreshed version follows the Juniper facelift introduced in early 2025, after which the seven-seat option was briefly dropped; it had previously been available for the legacy Model Y starting in October 2024.
The third row consists of two forward-facing individual seats added to the cargo area without altering the vehicle's 2,890 mm wheelbase or exterior. Tesla states that 381 liters of cargo space remain behind the third row, sufficient for two carry-on suitcases, expanding to 894 liters when folded—figures some independent measurements suggest may be optimistic. The Premium AWD offers a WLTP range of up to 600 kilometers with 19-inch wheels and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Interior upgrades include a 16-inch central touchscreen, heated and ventilated front seats, and an eight-inch rear passenger display, with choices for black or white interiors and optional 20-inch Helix wheels.
While the standard seven-seat Model Y provides limited third-row space suitable mainly for small children, Tesla's stretched Model YL—with a 3,040 mm wheelbase and 2-2-2 captain's chair layout—offers better legroom and has been on sale in China since August 2025. The Model YL has received EU type approval and was spotted testing near the Nürburgring, pointing to a potential launch soon. In China, it accounted for about a third of Model Y sales in November 2025, with over 12,800 units sold that month, contrasting low demand for the original seven-seat version, which Tesla discontinued there.
Sources note that early U.S. take rates for the seven-seat option have been low, and the European reintroduction may address family needs in the interim before the Model YL arrives.
