A new era for Aston Martin has begun. While the British automaker is renowned for making luxury grand-tourers and stylish sports cars, today marks the introduction of the Aston Martin DBX, the first-ever SUV and the most important model in the company's 106-year history. Think of it as Aston Martin's answer to the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, and Porsche Cayenne.

Combining the versatility and comfort of a luxury SUV with the performance of a sports car, the DBX rides on a new lightweight dedicated SUV platform that utilizes bonded aluminum, resulting in a curb weight of under 5,000 pounds and a cabin with "class-leading spaciousness" for front and rear occupants. The platform's stiffness also gives the DBX exceptional driving dynamics both off- and on-road.
