A transformable vehicle 10 is disclosed that can be transformed between first and second configurations; for example vehicle 10 can be used as a car in the first configuration and a light commercial vehicle (LCV) in the second configuration. Vehicle 10 has a main vehicle assembly 12 including a rolling chassis 14 and a cab. Chassis 14 is extendable to increase the wheelbase in the second configuration, for example by between 20% and 100% of the original wheelbase. In a particularly preferred arrangement, a secondary body module 20 is releasably mountable to the chassis 14 behind the cab when the chassis is extended. The secondary body module 20 may be a cargo container, for example an enclosed cargo container or an open cargo bed, or a passenger module. Chassis 14 may be extendable to widen the rear wheel track in the second configuration. Cab 16 may optionally be movable between a reclined position in the first configuration and an upright position in the second configuration.
