In recent years, in order to meet the rising demand for SUVs from consumers, ultra-luxury brands have also begun to manufacture SUV models. At the end of 2019, aston Martin, a century-old British supercar brand, also released its first SUV model, the DBX.
As the first SUV product of this veteran manufacturer, DBX has inherited the essence of the brand GT while highlighting the British gentleman's style, which is widely praised by the market. Now, to mark the 10th anniversary of the brand's official entry into the Chinese market, Aston Martin has brought the DBX STRAIGHT-SIX model, further enriching the DBX family. A few days ago, the author saw Aston Martin at the DBX STRAIGHT-SIX Jinan listing conference.
With its long head, short tail, sneaky back, full shape and beautiful curves, Aston Martin is full of energy when the DBX STRAIGHT-SIX is standing there. As the brand's first SUV model in more than 100 years of history, it still continues many of the brand's classic elements, such as the clam bonnet with heat dissipation holes, split headlights, David Brown front face, Aston Hill grille, front and rear doors that open up 12° upwards, and air ducts on the fenders.
In terms of interior, Aston Martin has created a high-end atmosphere combining classical elegance + technological luxury at DBX STRAIGHT-SIX.
The premier feature of the aston Martin DBX STRAIGHT-SIX model is its all-new 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder powertrain powertrain with mild hybrid technology, replacing the traditional starter motor and alternator with a 48V integrated starter generator (ISG) for 435 hp and 520 Nm of torque.
Equipped with a 48V electric supercharger that provides instantaneous torque response, eliminates turbo lag, and provides instantaneous acceleration performance assistance, the new car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 259 km/h.
The DBX STRAIGHT-SIX model is an important attempt by Aston Martin on the road to electrification, and the price starting from 1,898,000 yuan also makes the "entry" price of the DBX model more friendly.
According to the data, the Chinese market has developed into one of the most important markets for the Aston Martin brand, and after the listing of DBX, Aston Martin has achieved more than 600% growth in the Chinese market in 2021, of which DBX sales in the Chinese market account for more than 70%. After Aston Martin further enriched the DBX family product line at DBX STRAIGHT-SIX, a new high is expected in 2022.
