The Aston Martin DBX presents itself as a distinctly bold entrant into the luxury SUV arena: from its long, low roof-line and wide stance to the large signature grille, the DBX clearly carries the marque’s performance heritage into a high-riding package.
Under the bonnet is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, generating around 404 kW and 700 Nm in the original DBX specification.
The transmission is a 9-speed automatic and torque is sent to all four wheels, with the system configured to present a rear-biased drive feel.
The quoted acceleration from 0-100 km/h is about 4.5 seconds, with a top speed in the region of 291 km/h.
From a mechanical standpoint, the chassis is built on a bonded-aluminium construction (for lightness and rigidity) with adaptive air suspension, three-chamber air springs and an active roll system for sharper handling.
What it means for the driver: this is an SUV that doesn’t pretend to only go on easy roads — it has the ingredients of a proper performance-GT in utility form.
Seamlessly blends Aston Martin performance DNA into an SUV format.
Spacious enough to live with (children, luggage, daily routines) yet thrilling enough for the enthusiast.
Exclusivity: there aren’t many SUVs that look, feel and perform this way.
