The model
Read full Aston Martin DBX reviewThose looking for the ultimate super-SUV experience should definitely consider the Aston Martin DBX. It combines precise, involving handling and a fantastic soundtrack with the practicality and commanding seating position you’d want. In fact, we’d go so far as to say it’s the best Aston Martin we’ve ever driven. Just bear in mind that if comfort and quality are your top priorities, a Bentley Bentayga has the edge.
The trim
See full equipmentAs you’d expect given how much it costs, the DBX comes well equipped; the list of standard kit includes 22in alloy wheels, heated front and rear seats, rear climate control, 64-colour ambient lighting, electric seats and a panoramic glass sunroof. Comfort, Inspire Sport and Accelerate trim options are available – each with different embroidery and quilting.
The engine
See full engine specsThe only engine option in the DBX is now a 697bhp twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8. Fortunately, it’s one of the most characterful, giggle-inducing on the market, because it’s incredibly muscular and sounds fantastic. Just make sure you’re prepared to spend a lot on fuel; the official average is just 19.9mpg.
