'The new car, which has a top speed of 181mph and goes from 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, will emit more than three times as much carbon dioxide as a Ford Fiesta. The DBX travels 19.7 miles per gallon of petrol, compared with an average of 51.7mpg for new cars in the UK. “I can’t emphasise enough how incredibly exciting and significant DBX is for Aston Martin,” said Andy Palmer, its chief executive. “We have both delivered this model through our expertise, but also by garnering invaluable experience and knowledge from external counsel, including our female advisory board. This is a real landmark for this great British brand and I promise that DBX will reward all who experience it in their everyday lives.” Palmer did not address the car’s carbon footprint or poor fuel efficiency. In the small print of the car’s particulars, the company said it “targeted” 269g of CO2 emissions per kilometre. This compares with an average of 120.4g/km of new cars registered in the EU, according to the European Environment Agency.' |
