Aston Martin Said to Hold Talks With Daimler on Luxury SUV

Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. and Daimler AG are holding talks to extend their cooperation to sport-utility vehicles as the British maker of cars featured in James Bond movies seeks to broaden its lineup, people familiar with the matter said.

Daimler, the producer of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, may share the underpinnings of a new full-size SUV with Aston Martin, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private.
