With the 2021 DBX and Vantage on their way to U.S. dealers, Aston Martin has revised the pricing of the two models.

A spokesperson told CNET’s Roadshow, which discovered the revised pricing, that the British automaker’s CEO, Tobias Moers, wanted to “realign pricing on certain models and derivatives in some markets”. This means that, depending on where they are sold, customers won’t have to pay more for a new Aston Martin than in other parts of the world.

Promising to deliver the best of two worlds, as a comfortable GT and a decent off-roader, the DBX is Aston Martin’s first SUV. The model entered production at the company’s new plant in St Athan, Wales, two months ago, and uses a Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. The engine, which is hooked up to a nine-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, delivers 542 HP and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque, for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) of 4.5 seconds and a 181 mph (291 km/h) top speed.

The Vantage and Vantage Roadster feature the same engine, though in a slightly de-tuned form, with 503 HP and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) produced. The fixed-roof model is capable of sprinting to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds and up to 195 mph (314 km/h), while the open-top version adds two-tenths of a second to the acceleration time and drops the maximum speed to 190 mph (306 km/h).
