The model
Read full Aston Martin DBX reviewThe DBX's price puts it in competition with the Bentley Bentayga and perhaps even the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but it's a far sportier SUV. The V8 sound and playful handling make it more enjoyable to drive than many sports SUVs and it can mix it with the best of them – especially in DBX707 guise. It's big inside but you have to put up with a firm ride around town, a poor infotainment system and dubious fit and finish.
The trim
See full equipmentThe DBX comes with a long list of standard equipment, including 12-way electrically adjustable front seats, leather interior trim, an Alcantara roof lining, heated front and rear seats, rear climate control, a powered tailgate, 64-colour ambient lighting, air suspension, hill descent control and a 14-speaker 800-watt stereo. The DBX707 adds lots of carbon fibre to the centre console plus sports seats, and Aston Martin allows you to create your own bespoke, money-no-object spec on either version.
The engine
See full engine specsThe DBX707 gets 697bhp for a breathtaking 0-62mph time of 3.3sec. Remarkably, the increased performance doesn't lead to worse official emissions and MPG figures.
