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 the practicality of a high-riding vehicle with the performance and refinement expected from Aston Martin. With 632 litres of boot space, a full-length panoramic roof, and accommodation for five occupants, it offers genuine luxury and usability. The 542bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine delivers a wonderful blend of power and refinement, whilst the sophisticated suspension system with three-chamber air springs and active anti-roll bars ensures exceptional ride quality and handling responsiveness.

The DBX stands apart from its rivals by offering a truly bespoke driving experience rather than a rebodied platform shared with other manufacturers. Its long wheelbase and compact overall length contribute to excellent balance and agility, whilst the four-wheel drive system intelligently distributes torque to maximise traction. However, potential buyers should be aware of significant running costs, including fuel consumption of around 17mpg in real-world driving, expensive 22-inch tyres, and premium servicing fees. The infotainment system and some switchgear are borrowed from Mercedes-Benz, which detracts from the sense of exclusivity. There is currently no hybrid option available, unlike some competitors.

Best for: Affluent buyers seeking a genuinely engaging and rewarding luxury SUV with exceptional performance, those who value bespoke engineering and true Aston Martin character, and drivers who prioritise ride and handling over running costs.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those concerned about fuel economy and running costs, buyers seeking the latest infotainment technology, or those requiring hybrid or electric powertrain options.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the DBX if: You're an affluent buyer seeking a genuinely engaging and rewarding luxury SUV with exceptional performance, value bespoke engineering and true Aston Martin character, or prioritise ride and handling above all else.

Consider alternatives if: You're concerned about fuel economy and running costs, seek the latest infotainment technology, require hybrid or electric powertrain options, or prefer established luxury SUV credentials.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin DBX occupies a unique position in the luxury SUV market. Whilst it scores lower on the overall CarGurus rating than rivals like the Range Rover L405 and Audi A4, it distinguishes itself through bespoke engineering and exceptional driving dynamics. Unlike competitors that utilise shared platforms, the DBX's dedicated architecture delivers a truly rewarding and engaging experience. However, potential buyers must accept higher running costs and less cutting-edge infotainment. For those prioritising performance, handling, and exclusivity over economy and technology, the DBX represents an uncompromising choice that delivers authentic Aston Martin character in SUV form.
