SUVs power on as Aston Martin sells more DBX than all other models combined
- Aston Martin DBX is making the most of a growing preference for SUVs the world over.
Aston Martin DBX has been a power player for the company, one that has been known for its sports cars for decades, underlining that SUV body shape isn't just popular among mass-market segments but even in the performance category. The Aston Martin DBX may have only hit roads in late 2020 but it has managed to pick up pace like no other sibling and is already raking in numbers.

In the latest sales numbers released by Aston Martin - for Q3 of 2021, the DBX SUV has delivered quite the power punch with 2,186 units delivered between January and September. Interestingly, all other models offered by Aston Martin combined accounted for 2,064 units in this same period.
It is hardly a surprise that DBX is performing the way it is because there has been a very real uptick in the preference for SUV body type across the world in recent times. And while other models from Aston Martin are mighty capable and look the part too, it is the DBX that may well have the most imposing profile.
