Aston Martin subsidiary brand Lagonda has confirmed it will put a zero-emission SUV into production, with the car to be unveiled in 2021.

Little information about the vehicle has been revealed, but the British firm has said it will use an advanced battery drivetrain to make it the first emission-free luxury SUV.

Lagonda was founded in 1906 and acquired by Aston Martin in 1947. The firm is known for its ultra-luxury vehicles, and the nameplate was last used in 2015 on the extremely limited Taraf saloon. Just 200 examples were made, with prices starting at £685,000.

“The Lagonda SUV is the first of its kind: a spacious, high-performance 4×4 that successfully reconciles a love of technology, luxury and style.”

It’s not the only SUV currently under development by Aston Martin. The firm is expected to market a Jaguar I-Pace and Tesla Model X rival from 2019 – dubbed DBX – which will also use an electric drivetrain. That car is set to be built at Aston Martin’s newest production facility in St Athan, Wales.
