CEO Andy Palmer stated that it will cost about 250,000 dollars, while the price of the most expensive Tesla Model S does not exceed $ 150,000. For preparing the electric vehicle for mass production, the company will take about two years.





By 2019, Aston Martin will bring in light and your the first crossover DBX, which will initially be offered with a hybrid powertrain and the ability to connect to a household outlet, and later will also receive the all-electric modification. Included in the plans of the company and the three-door version of the luxury SUV.
