The first SUV from the British brand has rolled off the production line. The culmination of an extensive development program that began with virtual development in 2015 before physical testing in Wales in 2018, DBX signals a new direction for Aston Martin.

With its all-wheel drive system, DBX is a car that will allow the company to increase its presence in markets where perhaps the weather or terrain is less than conducive to rear-wheel-drive sports cars.

The clear emphasis on a spacious and luxurious cabin – whether seated in the front or back – will also allow Aston Martin to better reach customers who prefer to be driven, rather than drive.

Aston Martin Interim Chief Operating Officer, Keith Stanton, said: “It is a real privilege to be here today to witness the completion of the first production Aston Martin DBX.

“I’m extremely proud of the Aston Martin team. They have worked so hard to transform this ex-Ministry of Defence site into a world-class car manufacturing facility. It is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of everyone at Aston Martin.”
