Aston Martin DBX, the SUV made in Wales is ready

The first Aston Martin built in Wales left the production line. Just over four years after Aston Martin announced the investment in the brand new production facility in St Athan, the first car to be 'Made in Wales' is a DBX, ready for the market now.

DBX is also the car that marks a new era for everything related to Aston Martin's research on performance and style in a segment previously unexplored by the automaker, for a luxury SUV with dynamic sports car performance levels. With its all-wheel drive system, DBX is a car that will allow the company to increase its presence in markets characterized by weather conditions or less favorable terrain for rear-wheel drive sports cars. "It is a real privilege - said Keith Stanton, Chief Operating Officer of Aston Martin - to witness the completion of the first production of the DBX. I am extremely proud of the Aston Martin team, who has worked so hard to transform this former Ministry of Defense site into a world-class automotive manufacturing facility for automotive manufacturing, testifying to the resilience and strength of mind of all those who work in Aston Martin. " According to the company's plans, about 80 percent of the production will be exported and this makes DBX an important model for Aston Martin's strategy for the coming years. "We are incredibly proud of our first SUV - commented Aston Martin executive vice president and chief creative officer Marek Reichman - which is both an Aston Martin and one of our sports cars. The DBX has become the car that will bring the Aston Martin in a new era. " The first deliveries of DBX to customers are scheduled for the end of this month.
