Land Rover has revealed the first new long-wheelbase version of its for 20 years ahead of its simultaneous debut at next month's LA and Guanzhou motor shows.
The company has also unveiled a new range-topping specification level which will be exclusive to the long-wheelbase model: the Range Rover Autobiography Black.
In creating the Range Rover LWB, Land Rover has lengthened the car's wheelbase by 200m, giving an extra 140mm of rear legroom. In addition to this, buyers can also choose between a traditional rear bench seat or individual 'Executive Class' seats, both of which can recline by up to 17 degrees -- 8 degrees more than in the standard Rangey. Rear seat passengers also benefit from powered side door blinds and a panoramic roof as standard.
From the outside, it's clear that the Range Rover has been stretched; however, Land Rover has avoided making the car look awkward using some subtly styling tweaks. An 'L' badge mounted to the front wings is the only other way of differentiating between the LWB model and the standard car.
Range Rover Autobiography Black
Set to make its debut at the Dubai Motor Show next month, the Range Rover Autobiography Black is the range-topping derivative of the LWB range, designed to take on the likes of the Mercedes S-Class in the luxury car market.
The Autobiography Black Edition gets a range of subtle styling tweaks and luxury features, including 10.2-inch entertainment screens, electrically-deployable tables, plush materials, a larger centre console, a chiller compartment, LED mood lighting and a massage function for the seats.
Prices for the new Range Rover Autobiography Black are expected to start in the region of £140,000, making it the most expensive Range Rover ever made.
