Just over four years after Aston Martin announced its plan to build a new manufacturing facility at St Athan in Wales, its first car to be made in Wales, a DBX, has driven off the production line. The company describes the DBX as “a luxury SUV with sports car-levels of dynamic performance” with a “spacious and luxurious cabin”.  

Interim chief operating officer, Keith Stanton, said: “I’m extremely proud of the Aston Martin team who have worked so hard to transform this site into a world-class car manufacturing facility. It is an honor to see the first DBX come off the line.” Chief creative officer, Marek Reichman, said: “We are incredibly proud of our first SUV, which is as much of an Aston Martin as any one of our sports cars.”
