The DBX is the first car made at Aston Martin's new facility inSt Athan, Wales. According to executive vice president and chief creative officerMarek Reichman, thewheelbase of the DBX stretches as far out as possible for the wheels to be positioned at the corners of the vehicle, which, with the low roofline, creates the illusion of a smaller car, helping make the DBX appear more like a traditional Aston Martin shape. The DBX featuresswan-hinged doors, while thefront grille is the largest ever fitted on an Aston Martin.[10]
It has been described by theBBC andThe Daily Telegraph as the "firstfull-size five-seater" model that Aston Martin has sold.[1][11] US publications described it as a "mid-sized crossover".[12][13][14][15]
While related to theVantage, the DBX is built on its own dedicatedplatform. Like other Aston Martin models, it is constructed withbonded aluminium panels and extrusions. Thepowertrain andinfotainment technology are borrowed fromMercedes-Benz. The DBX usesMercedes-AMG'sM177 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that has a power output of 550 PS (405 kW; 542 hp) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque.[16] The DBX is capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, and attaining a top speed of 292 km/h (181 mph).[17]
A 9-speed automatic gearbox is standard, and towing is rated at up to 2,700 kg (6,000 lb). Its emissions are NEDC Combined CO2 269g/km and its UK combined mpg is 19.73. A 48-volt electric active roll system counteractsbody roll under hard cornering, and the vehicle comes with five driving modes: a default GT, Sport, Sport Plus, Terrain and Terrain Plus with an additional Access mode. An active centre transfer case directs torque to the front axle when it is required, and there is also an electronic limited slip rear differential.Adaptive dampers and triple-chamberair springs are both standard, offering a significant range of height adjustment.[18][19]
In November 2021, a new engine was introduced for the DBX. Only available in China, this engine is Mercedes-AMG'sM256 3.0-litre turbocharged I6. It has a power output of 435 PS (320 kW; 429 hp) and 520 N⋅m (384 lb⋅ft) of torque.[20]
On 1 February 2022, Aston Martin unveiled their most powerful petrol crossover, called the Aston Martin DBX707.[21] ItsM177 engine was slightly modified by Aston Martin and received new turbochargers with ball bearings, generating a maximum power output of 707 PS (520 kW; 697 hp) and 900 N⋅m (664 lb⋅ft) of torque.AMG's MCT 9G-Tronic transmission has also been upgraded to receive "wet clutch" and changed gear ratios. In total, all modifications allow the sports crossover to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph).[22][23] The changes also affected the suspension and steering. At the rear of the car is a carbon spoiler and splitter, as well as a four-barrel exhaust system. The base of the car is equipped with standard 22-inch wheels and 23-inch version is available as optional.[24][25] For the 2025 model year, the DBX707 received an updated interior and infotainment system similar to theDB12.[26][27] The standard DBX had also been dropped.[28]
In April 2025, Aston Martin unveiled the DBX S, a lighter and more powerful version of the DBX707. The engine generates a maximum power output of 727 PS (535 kW; 717 hp) while torque remains unchanged at 900 N⋅m (664 lb⋅ft). The DBX S accelerates from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.3 seconds and is 0.3 second quicker to 200 km/h (124 mph) than the DBX707. The top speed remains unchanged at 310 km/h (193 mph).[29][30][31]
