The seven-seater Tesla Model Y Juniper has landed in Europe, with the third-row option now being available for order for the Premium AWD (née Long Range AWD) model for €2,500 (RM11,500), bringing the base price up to €55,490 (RM255,000). The same option is US$2,500 (RM9,700) in the US market where it made its debut.
While the original Tesla Model Y was available with an optional third row which added two seats, this option was not available on the Juniper at launch. A three-row Model Y was later launched in the form of the Tesla Model Y L with a longer wheelbase, but instead of being a seven-seater, it is a six-seater with a 2-2-2 seat configuration, with the middle bench replaced by two individual captain’s chairs.
The seven-seater Model Y finally made its comeback in the US last month, albeit with the same wheelbase as the regular model and the same sloping coupé-like roofline restricting headroom. Access to the third row is via folding and sliding forward either outer seat of the middle bench.
Above you will find a comparison of seating configurations between the five-seater Model Y, the seven-seater Model Y and the six-seater Model Y L.
The third row of the Model Y is not the same as the one on the Model Y L – the long wheelbase version’s third-row bench has ISOFIX child seat mounting points which are missing on the regular Model Y. The L also gains more substantial headrests that poke up above the backrests.
It should be noted that this seven-seat version of the Model Y is expected to be offered in Europe alongside the Model Y L, the latter reported as having received type approval in the continent. More pertinent for Malaysia is the fact that the car has also been certified in Australia, meaning that it has been converted to right-hand drive and likely to be offered here as well.
So, which one would you pick – the seven-seat Model Y Premium AWD, or the six-seat Model Y L? Let us know in the comments.

Terrible value for asking price, kosong interior, bad resale value, Nazi/PDF owner who keeps lying through his teeth about features. Whoever buy Tesla is truly a certified Grade-A waterfish who likes to lick butt when asked.
