Aston Martin DBX (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Exceptional ride and handling	No hybrid or electric versions
Colossal performance	Dated infotainment and borrowed switchgear
Surprisingly capable in off-road driving	Not as fast as a Lamborghini Urus

Quick Summary

The Aston Martin DBX (2020-present) is the British marque's first SUV and represents a significant departure from its sports car heritage. Built on a bespoke platform developed exclusively for this model, the DBX combines luxury, performance, and practicality in a way few rivals can match. With 542bhp from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, it delivers colossal performance whilst maintaining refinement and comfort. The interior features acres of soft leather and a full-length panoramic roof, though some switchgear is borrowed from Mercedes-Benz. Boot space is generous at 632 litres with rear seats upright, plus 62 litres of underfloor storage, making it practical for five occupants.

What truly distinguishes the DBX is its driving dynamics. The long wheelbase and rear-mounted engine create exceptional balance, whilst the suspension uses three-chamber air springs and active anti-roll bars for both comfort and responsive handling. It's the most rewarding and engaging performance SUV available. However, running costs are substantial—expect around 17mpg in real-world driving, premium 22-inch tyres, insurance group 50, and servicing costs around £700 annually. There's currently no hybrid option, and towing capacity is limited to 2,700kg compared to some rivals offering 3,500kg.

Best for: Wealthy buyers seeking a true performance SUV with exceptional handling, those prioritising British luxury and engineering, and drivers who value engagement alongside practicality.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking hybrid or electric powertrains, drivers concerned about fuel economy, or those wanting the absolute fastest performance SUV available.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the DBX if: You're seeking a true performance SUV with exceptional handling, prioritise British luxury and engineering, and value engagement alongside practicality and comfort.

Consider alternatives if: You require hybrid or electric powertrains, are concerned about fuel economy and running costs, or seek the absolute fastest performance SUV available.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin DBX stands as the most rewarding and engaging performance SUV on the market. Whilst the Range Rover L405 offers greater practicality and the Bentley Bentayga provides ultimate luxury, the DBX uniquely combines bespoke engineering, dynamic handling, and genuine performance. Its bespoke platform—a costly investment—ensures it drives like a true Aston Martin despite its SUV proportions. For discerning buyers who value driving engagement and British heritage, the DBX is unmatched, though running costs and the absence of hybrid options may deter some.
