What the extended wheelbase buys
It isn't simply about being longer. The added wheelbase lets a seat recline properly, without the passenger's head hitting the rear screen or their feet running into the seat in front. Those proportions are what set it apart from a long-wheelbase saloon that just has plenty of footwell space.
A longer wheelbase makes for a better ride as well. The further apart the axles are, the less the car pitches over dips and rises. Sit behind the line of the rear axle and you feel less up-and-down motion than you would in a shorter car on an identical road.
