About DBX

For a brand long defined by low-slung coupes, the DBX was a radical departure: Aston Martin's first SUV, revealed in 2019 and built at a new factory in St Athan, Wales. It was also a business necessity. Rivals such as Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche had shown that wealthy buyers would pay handsomely for a high-riding sports car, and the DBX quickly became one of Aston's best sellers and a vital source of revenue during its long financial struggles.

The DBX was designed from the ground up rather than borrowed from another car, with an aluminum structure, air suspension and a twin-turbocharged V8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG. Reviewers praised its handling, which felt remarkably agile for its size, and its handsome, curvaceous styling. In 2022 the DBX707 arrived with dramatically more power and transformed the model into a genuine super-SUV, taking on the Lamborghini Urus. Later updates brought a much needed modern infotainment system.

The range now includes the DBX707, the DBX S with even more power and a newer GT model aimed at buyers who want comfort and luxury over outright aggression, a version positioned against Bentley. A DBX also serves as the medical car in Formula One. Rivals include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Bentley Bentayga, Ferrari Purosangue and the Mercedes-AMG G63. It also gives Aston loyalists a way to bring the family, and the dog, along for the ride.

The DBX's role in Aston Martin's finances makes it one of the brand's most closely watched models, and every sales update matters. The coverage gathered here includes reviews and comparisons, new versions, technology and audio system tests, pricing and depreciation stories, recalls, and Aston's plans for future SUVs, including possible electrified versions. For a company that once built nothing but coupes and convertibles, the DBX has become indispensable, and its successors will shape Aston Martin's balance sheet for years to come.
