When it comes to the ultra-luxury segment, car makers know their customer base is looking for something ultra-special. You can’t just have the same SUV that’s parked in your neighbour’s mansion, yours needs to be made a little nicer. That’s probably the thinking behind the Aston Martin DBX – Intrepid Aura. This takes the DBX SUV that was just launched in Malaysia last month and adds a twist.
The DBX had a launch price of RM818,000 without duties and taxes. This new Intrepid Aura variant brings the pre-tax price up to RM958,000. So, what has Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur added for RM140,000?
Outside, the DBX Intrepid Aura is now finished in ‘Yellow Tang’, but you can also have it in ‘Ceramic Blue’, ‘Stratus White’ & ‘Lime Essence’. Expect some variation in the way the rest of the car is configured if you go for a different exterior shade.
By default, the ‘Yellow Tang’ model is configured as follows:
EXTERIOR
- Gloss Black side window surround, roof rails and grille
- Smoked rear lights
- Gloss Black mirror caps
- 22inch Sport Satin Black
- Aston Martin Wings & Rear Wordmark in Black Chrome
INTERIOR
- Dark Satin Chrome interior jewellery pack
- Embroidered Aston Martin Wings logo
- Black Alcantara® headlining
- Piano Black wood veneers
- Metallic Black Caithness Leather
- Obsidian Black Carpet
- Electron Yellow Seat Stitching
That may not sound like RM140,000 worth of goodies, but remember, this vehicle is made for a different class of buyer. And if the DBX is already something you can afford, wouldn’t you want one that’s extra special? Here’s the press release with more. Check out this article to better understand Aston Martin’s current model lineup.
PRESS RELEASE
After the grand launch of DBX in Malaysia last month, Aston Martin
Kuala Lumpur introducing the customized special for the marque’s first luxury SUV: Aston Martin DBX – Intrepid Aura. DBX is a new kind of Aston Martin, one founded on the same principles of beauty, luxury and driving dynamics, yet redefined, ready for anything, powered by the spirit of adventure.
Built on brand new, all-Aston Martin architecture, DBX is designed to carry occupants in true Aston Martin style, with the ability to go where no Aston Martin has gone before. Brimming with the latest technology to keep you safe, DBX is comfortable, and delivers an engaging driving experience. Our
SUV’s capabilities deliver confidence to the driver across all terrains, while remaining a true Aston Martin to its core.
DBX is beautiful, sumptuously luxurious and able to thrill from the moment you sit behind the wheel and fire up the twin-turbo V8 engine. Our new SUV maintains a proud heritage as an Aston Martin DB. The initials belong to David Brown, the man who defined what an Aston Martin should be and whose vision continues throughout the company to this day.
