The most expensive production SUV? Most people would immediately think of the Bentley Tim, which costs around 4 million. However, this title may soon be taken by another luxury carmaker. Aston Martin has recently confirmed plans to build a new manufacturing facility in St. Athon, Glamorgan County, South Wales, UK. This facility will be home to the company’s first-ever mass-produced SUV, the Aston Martin DBX, set for release in 2019. The DBX is expected to retail for over 8 million RMB, making it twice as costly as the Bentley Tim!
Aston Martin has officially begun construction at the St Athan site, which was once part of a Royal Air Force base featuring three large hangars. The company plans to transform this space into a modern factory where the DBX will be produced. Additionally, this location will serve as the birthplace of the brand's first electric vehicle production line.
Lamborghini isn’t the only luxury automaker venturing into the SUV market—Aston Martin is joining the race too. Surprisingly, this move marks a significant shift for the traditionally conservative British brand. Aston Martin has actually been contemplating an SUV project for several years. Back in 2015, they showcased the DBX concept car at the Shanghai Auto Show under the name Cross-Border Luxury GT.
The DBX concept car became a reality thanks to a £200 million investment specifically allocated to the project. While official images of the production model haven't been released yet, insights can be gleaned from the DBX concept car. Expect the signature family-style front grille and possibly some elements of the unique headlight design seen on the concept.
In 2015, Aston Martin introduced the DBX concept car, but based on recent predictions, the production version will differ significantly in terms of its roofline design. The final version is anticipated to make its debut in 2019.
If the production model sticks closely to the concept, the DBX won’t be your typical SUV. Instead, it will fall into the high-low crossover category, similar in style to the BMW GT.
For the interior, expect luxurious touches such as two-tone leather upholstery and aluminum accents. While the concept car features a futuristic center console and a fully digital LCD dashboard, the production version in 2019 might incorporate more conventional elements while still embracing cutting-edge technology.
This bold move by Aston Martin highlights their commitment to innovation and expansion into new markets. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the 2019 unveiling!
