Geneva 2015: Aston Martin DBX Concept Revealed

Not content to let Tesla have all the fun, the Aston Martin DBX Concept shows its take on an all-electric “high luxury GT” crossover.

The design study uses inboard electric motors for each wheel to move the crossover along, each motor powered by lithium sulphur cells. Steering the DBX Concept is done via drive-by-wire, while braking and energy regeneration is handled via its KERS system.

Four adults can make use of both front and rear cargo spaces on their way to the countryside, while the driver and front passenger can view driving data via the concept’s HUD. LED exterior lighting, rearview cameras, and a black pearl ensemble enhanced with a micro-fine layer of chrome are some of the other features available.

    How many dinosaurs did they skin to make the interior?! I don't really like this at all. Make sports GT cars for cruising, and make a separate SUV model like Bentley. Don't make whatever this AMC Eagle type thing is.

      I concur...although I'm not impressed with what I've seen of the Bentley Bentayga because I don't think it distinguishes itself enough from its plebeian Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen sisters. This DBX thing is along the same vein as the Local Motors Rally Fighter, or whatever that thing is called.

    WTF? The headlights look like someone's eyes were sewn shut. Side profile.... agreed. Looks like a Mustang who's eaten too much spicy curry.

  • Lorenzo People don't want EVs, they want inexpensive vehicles. EVs are not that. To paraphrase the philosopher Yogi Berra: If people don't wanna buy 'em, how you gonna stop 'em?
  • Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
  • Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
  • ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
  • Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
