    Power comes from the same 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in the DB11 and Vantage, churning out 550 horsepower and 700Nm of torque, helping propel the DBX from 0 to 100kph in just 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 181mph (291kph). Image Credit: Supplied

    It also features an adaptive triple volume air suspension, combined with the latest 48v electric anti-roll control system and electronic adaptive dampers. The suspension lets ride height be raised by 45mm or lowered by 50mm, adding to the DBX’s capability to tackle a wide range of terrain. Image Credit: Supplied

    Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Executive Vice President & Chief Creative Officer, who was at St Athan to witness the completion of the first SUV designed by his team, said: “We are incredibly proud of our first SUV, which is as much of an Aston Martin as any one of our sports cars. From my design team to the engineers, the vehicle dynamics team and all the experts who hand-craft this beautiful car, here at St Athan, the DBX has become the car that will drive Aston Martin into a bold new era.” Image Credit: Supplied
