Land Rover unveiled it’s first long-wheelbase Range Rover in 22 years. The company says that the new model will make a simultaneous debut at the Los Angeles and Guanzhou motor shows next month.
The company has also revealed a new Autobiography Black range-topping version of the Range Rover, which will be available in long-wheelbase form only. This new 5.2m-long model will be the most expensive Range Rover yet sold.
Land Rover says the LWB Range Rover has an extra 140mm of rear legroom, with the bodyshell being extended in front of the rear wheels. Subtle modifications to the styling include stretching the rear door. The rear seats of the LWB model can be specified as either a traditional bench or as individual ‘Executive Class’ rear seats.
'Passenger Seat Slide Away’ allows the rear passenger to electrically move the front seat forward, to further increase legroom. The LWB Range Rover gets powered side door blinds and a panoramic roof as standard. The stretched version will be available in Autobiography and Autobiography Black trim only. It is the first product of Jaguar Land Rover’s new Engineered To Order division.
But the massive change is to the inside. Individual rear seats, an extended centre console and electrically deployed leather-covered tray tables, which incorporate USB charging sockets and cupholders make the interiors plush.
Rear passengers also get 10.2-inch TV screens mounted to the back of the front seats and access to a chiller compartment. The rear seats feature 18-way electric adjustment, a massage function and configurable LED mood lighting.
It’s as luxurious as luxury gets and Land Rover has left no stone unturned.
