Quick Summary

The Aston Martin DB11 (2016-2023) represents a bold new era for the British marque, featuring a new platform and all-new turbocharged engine delivering 600bhp. Initially, the DB11 faced criticism regarding cabin luxury, ride quality, and engine refinement. However, Aston Martin addressed these concerns through iterative improvements, culminating in the 2018 DB11 AMR—a more powerful variant with enhanced ride comfort, superior soundtrack, and improved cockpit quality. The AMR is now the sole V12 DB11 offering, establishing the model as a supremely capable grand tourer.

The DB11 excels dynamically with crisp steering and excellent balance between body control and ride comfort. The 630bhp V12 AMR accelerates to 62mph in 3.7 seconds and reaches 208mph, whilst the more affordable 503bhp V8 achieves 3.9 seconds and 187mph. Both use an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Standard equipment includes heated seats, 360-degree parking camera, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and smartphone integration. However, expect substantial running costs: V12 models rarely exceed 20mpg, whilst V8 variants achieve around 22mpg. Insurance, road tax, and maintenance are considerable, with annual servicing costs reaching four figures post-warranty.

Best for: Buyers seeking a sharply styled, high-performance grand tourer with excellent handling and long-distance capability, and those prioritising British engineering and exclusivity.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those concerned about fuel economy and running costs, or those requiring maximum rear-seat practicality and luxury refinement.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the DB11 if: You desire a sharply styled, high-performance grand tourer with excellent handling and long-distance capability, and you prioritise British engineering and exclusivity over running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, concerned about fuel economy and running costs, or require maximum rear-seat practicality and luxury refinement.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin DB11 stands as a compelling grand tourer that counters the Bentley Continental GT with sharper handling and a more distinctive character, though the Bentley remains marginally more luxurious and refined. The DB11's V8 variant offers near-V12 performance at a lower cost, whilst the V12 AMR delivers exhilarating acceleration and a magnificent soundtrack. Despite sky-high running costs and limited rear-seat utility, the DB11's combination of precise handling, long-distance comfort, and standard equipment makes it a memorable choice for discerning buyers. Aston Martin's iterative improvements transformed the DB11 into one of the marque's finest models and a superb all-round GT car.
