Quick Summary

The Aston Martin DB11 (2016-2023) represents a bold new era for the British marque, introducing a fresh platform, all-new turbocharged engine, and distinctive design language. Initially, the DB11 faced criticism regarding cabin luxury, ride quality, and the loss of the classic V12 soundtrack. However, Aston Martin addressed these concerns with the 2018 DB11 AMR, which delivered 630bhp, improved ride comfort, a more tuneful engine note, and a more convincing cockpit. The AMR is now the sole V12 variant offered, combining superb performance with refined grand touring capability.

Available with both a 630bhp twin-turbo V12 and a 503bhp twin-turbo V8, the DB11 delivers crushing straight-line speed and dynamic excellence. The V12 AMR accelerates from 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and reaches 208mph, whilst the V8 achieves 3.9 seconds and 187mph. Both use an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The cabin is well-appointed with heated seats, 360-degree parking camera, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and smartphone integration as standard. However, running costs are substantial, with V12 models rarely exceeding 20mpg and V8 variants achieving around 22mpg. Insurance, road tax, and maintenance costs are equally demanding, making ownership a proposition for the seriously wealthy.

Best for: Affluent buyers seeking a high-performance grand tourer combining sharp handling with long-distance comfort, and those who value British engineering and iconic styling.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those concerned with fuel economy or running costs, or those prioritising maximum luxury over driving engagement.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the DB11 if: You're an affluent buyer seeking a high-performance grand tourer combining sharp handling with long-distance comfort, and you value British engineering and iconic styling.

Consider alternatives if: You're concerned with fuel economy or running costs, prioritise maximum luxury over driving engagement, or seek better value for money.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin DB11 (2016-2023) stands as a compelling alternative to rivals like the Bentley Continental GT, offering sharper handling and a more engaging driving experience. Whilst the Bentley provides greater luxury and refinement, the DB11 counters with superior performance, a magnificent engine soundtrack, and striking aesthetics. The V8 variant delivers nearly identical performance to the V12 at a lower cost, making it an excellent entry point to Aston Martin ownership. Though running costs are substantial, the DB11 represents one of Aston Martin's finest models and a genuinely great all-round grand tourer for those who can afford it.
