New Aston Martin DBX V8 DBX707 5dr Touchtronic Review
Category: Sports SUV
Section: Version review
Those looking for the ultimate super-SUV experience should definitely consider the DBX. It combines precise, involving handling with huge practicality and sounds fantastic. 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.
