What is the Aston Martin Cygnet?
The Cygnet is a compact city car with Aston Martin’s luxury finish, a departure from the marque’s sports cars and grand tourers. Its small footprint and city-focused design made it a distinctive choice for urban journeys.

The Cygnet generation ran from 2011 to 2013. It brought Aston Martin into the city-car segment, with an emphasis on easy urban driving rather than sports-car performance.
