Aston Martin DB11 (2016-2023) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Combines precise handling and long-distance comfort	Sky-high running costs
The V8 is almost as fast as the V12	The Bentley Continental GT is more luxurious
Very well equipped as standard	Early examples are not as good to drive as later cars

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 on certain surfaces, and the loss of the classic V12 soundtrack due to turbocharging. However, Aston Martin addressed these concerns with the 2018 DB11 AMR, which delivered an additional 30bhp, improved ride quality, a more tuneful engine note, and a more convincing cockpit. The AMR is now the sole V12 variant offered by Aston Martin.

The DB11 is now a supremely capable grand tourer, combining crisp steering with an excellent balance between body control and ride comfort. Both the 630bhp V12 and the more affordable 503bhp V8 deliver crushing straight-line performance, with the V8 reaching 62mph in 3.9 seconds and the V12 AMR in 3.7 seconds. All models come well specified as standard with heated seats, 360-degree parking camera, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and smartphone integration. However, running costs are substantial, with V12 cars rarely exceeding 20mpg and V8 variants achieving around 22mpg. Insurance, road tax, and maintenance costs are all premium, making this a car for those with generous budgets.

Best for: Buyers seeking a high-performance grand tourer combining luxury, speed, and handling prowess, with the budget to support substantial running costs.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum practicality, rear-seat space, or economical running costs, or those preferring the greater refinement of a Bentley Continental GT.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the DB11 if: You're seeking a high-performance grand tourer combining luxury, speed, and handling prowess, with the budget to support substantial running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum practicality, rear-seat space, economical running costs, or the greater refinement of a Bentley Continental GT.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin DB11 is a compelling choice for discerning buyers seeking a distinctive grand tourer that balances performance with long-distance comfort. Whilst the Bentley Continental GT remains marginally more luxurious and refined, the DB11 counters with sharper handling, a superior soundtrack, and striking looks. The V8 variant offers remarkable value within the range, delivering nearly identical performance to the V12 at a lower cost. Early examples require careful selection, as later cars, particularly the AMR, represent significantly better propositions. For those with the means to absorb its running costs, the DB11 stands as one of Aston Martin's finest models and a genuinely great all-round GT car.
