Currently reading: New Range Rover stretched for Chinese market

Stretched version of the new Range Rover spotted on UK motorway

This snatched spy shot appears to show a late prototype of the rumoured long-wheelbase Range Rover.

Taken by Autocar reader Ian Bushell on a British motorway, this prototype clearly has a longer third side window and longer rear overhang. It also appears to have a longer rear door. 

Extra rear legroom is essential for both the Chinese market and breaking into the traditional executive car market, but it remains to be seen whether the bigger boot is just for luggage or might also house a pair of third-row seats.

Judging by this test car, the stretched Range Rover should be unveiled late this year.
