The first production “Made in Wales” Aston Martin – the DBX, has rolled off the St Athan production line, marking the start of series production of the British luxury marque’s first-ever SUV. Just to remind, the DBX made its global debut in November 2019.

Global deliveries will commence later this month.

It is a real privilege to be here today to witness the completion of the first production Aston Martin DBX. I’m extremely proud of the Aston Martin team who have worked so hard to transform this ex-Ministry of Defence site into a world-class car manufacturing facility, to now be producing cars. – Keith Stanton, Aston Martin Interim Chief Operating Officer

The DBX is powered by AMG-sourced 4.0-litre V8 biturbo M177 engine (wet sump) that develops 405 kW (551 hp) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels. Read more here.
