The DBX has a number of Aston design elements, including the largest DB grille to date. Picture: SUPPLIED.
The new DBX is a very big deal for Aston. While the company won’t officially say how many it hopes to sell, a figure of 4,000 cars a year is being discussed. That would almost double the brand’s existing production, which is why it needed to build a brand-new manufacturing facility for the DBX at St Athan in south Wales.
And not just millennials. The world is moving to SUVs at a rapid rate, in spite of environmental concerns around them. Just as people are buying SUVs lower down the pricing order, so are high-end buyers. Porsche has its Cayenne, Bentley the Bentayga, Lamborghini the Urus and soon Ferrari will launch its Purosangue.
It uses a tweaked version of Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive system, something we learnt when we saw the name flash up on the dashboard. It’ll be gone on the production model.The system can send 100% of the torque to the rear and across the rear axle via an active centre differential and an electronic rear limited slip diff. The DBX has a 500mm wading depth and six Terrain modes accessible at the touch of a button.
