Several automakers from across the globe consider the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) as the event to showcase their most important work. British luxury carmaker Aston Martin is also amongst the list of those names. At last year’s event, it unveiled the first Lagonda-branded concept vehicle, which was simply tagged as the Vision Concept. At this year’s GIMS, which will open its gates on March 5, 2019, the carmaker will unveil the second concept vehicle which will wear the revived Lagonda badge – the All-Terrain Concept.
As the name suggests, it will be a high-riding, 4×4 SUV. Aston Martin has reconfirmed that production version of the All-Terrain Concept will become the first Lagonda product to roll out of the production line. And that will happen sometime in the year 2021. What’s more, like all future Lagonda products planned, the SUV will house an all-electric powertrain. It, along with Aston Martin’s own SUV, the DBX, will give the likes of the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Range Rover and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan some fight.
Aston Martin will produce the Lagonda SUV at its new facility at St Athan, in South Wales, UK. However, the first vehicle to roll out of that plant will be the Aston Martin DBX. Both vehicles might share some stuff behind the scenes but the pure electric powerplant is not one of them. Aston Martin is pretty clear that all its pure electric products will fall in Lagonda’s portfolio. Reports suggest that the Lagonda SUV will house solid-state batteries and will be able to travel over 640km in real-world conditions.
After the SUV goes into production, Lagonda’s second product under Aston Martin’s seven cars in seven years plan will likely be a sedan. Its launch date, however, will not be anytime before 2023. The third Lagonda EV (electric vehicle) is expected to be a coupé – a feasible version of what the world saw from the British marque at last year’s GIMS.
