Range Rover LWB revealed at the LA Motor Show

The Range Rover LWB has been unveiled at the LA Motor Show, along with a long-wheelbase Autobiography Black edition

The new long-wheelbase version of the Range Rover has just been revealed at the LA Motor Show, boasting more rear leg room for increased passenger comfort.

• Full Range Rover review

The Range Rover narrowly missed out to the Mercedes S-Class in our luxury car shoot-out, partly due to its cramped rear seats - and the new Range Rover LWB won't have that problem any more.

By lengthening the wheelbase by 200mm, engineers have added an extra 140mm of rear legroom – a crucial selling point in markets like China and the Middle East.

Select the individual executive seating package, and the rear seats recline by up to 17 degrees – nine degrees more than before – while an extra 315 litres of boot space has been added, taking the maximum to 2,345 litres.

There’s a downside to the extra space, though: the LWB car is 80kg heavier than the standard Range Rover, while the 0-60mph time in the 503bhp supercharged model increases by four-tenths to 5.5 seconds. Economy and CO2 are 1.6mpg and 23g/km worse, too.

The long-wheelbase model is available with the 339bhp 4.4-litre V8 diesel, too, but only in Autobiography trim and above, and is expected to cost £5,000 more than the standard car.

There will also be a LWB-only Autobiography Black edition, which was unviled at the Dubai Motor Show earlier this month. Costing between £130,000 and £140,000, with deliveries beginning next August, it includes every possible extra.

Rear passengers are treated to 10.2-inch entertainment screens, electrically deployable tables and a luxury centre console. Extended LED mood lighting, extra leather and four unique colour schemes complete the opulent makeover.
