New Aston Martin Cygnet
Overview
The Aston Martin Cygnet is a city car that sets a new benchmark for compact luxury, building upon nearly a century of experience building high performance sports cars, luxurious long-range grand tourers, and extremely competitive racing machines.
Cygnet demonstrates Aston Martin's commitment to innovation and integrity. "It is time to think differently. Aston Martin is honest and we don't make compromises" says Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez.
Cygnet expresses a simple but fundamental idea: in the modern city, scale equates to speed and freedom. At just three metres long, the Cygnet gives the driver a new dimension of freedom, able to slot into gaps in traffic, exploit the smallest parking spaces, consume the least fuel and emit the lowest emissions, all while delivering exceptional levels of quality and comfort.
"Cygnet is small but luxurious, an Aston Martin tailor fit for the city," says Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Director of Design. With an almost unlimited palette of materials, colours and textures, each hand-finished Cygnet will be truly unique, a personalised space within the city. "Luxury is not constrained by scale."
Dr Ulrich Bez continues: "The Cygnet is designed to support our sports cars by providing a greater degree of freedom in the urban context; it is a very special car, a premium but compact package with heart, soul and personality."
The Cygnet, a tailor fit solution for the city, will help drive Aston Martin into the future. "This car is reality; Cygnet is the natural choice for those who want a premium, bespoke commuter car."
Cygnet's size is one of its strengths, at just 3m long, with a turning circle of only 4 metres; it can manoeuvre and park in spaces that other would not even consider. Cygnet is small, yet can seat up to four people plus has a versatile 50:50 split rear seat system providing ample storage for the city commute.
Cygnet benefits from sophisticated class leading active and passive safety technologies, protecting driver, passengers and pedestrians.
With CO2 emissions as low as 116/km (predicted figure) and a fuel economy of 56.5mpg (predicted figure) (manual transmission), Cygnet is extremely competitive with other commuter cars. Aston Martin strives for continuous improvement in its environmental performance and Cygnet is a bold step towards achieving those goals.
