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. Developed on a bespoke platform rather than borrowed architecture, the DBX delivers a remarkable combination of daily comfort, performance, and handling response that few rivals can match. With 542bhp from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, it offers colossal performance whilst maintaining refinement. The interior features acres of soft leather and a full-length panoramic roof, though the infotainment system and switchgear are borrowed from Mercedes-Benz, lacking the exclusivity expected at this price point. Boot space is generous at 632 litres with an additional 62 litres of underfloor storage.

The DBX's exceptional engineering shines through in its driving dynamics, with a long wheelbase and short overall length providing excellent balance. The suspension features three-chamber air springs with multiple ride heights and active anti-roll bars for adaptable comfort and handling. However, running costs are substantial, with real-world fuel consumption around 17mpg, expensive 22-inch tyres, and servicing costs in the region of £700 per visit. There is currently no hybrid option available, and towing capacity is limited to 2,700kg compared to some rivals. Despite these considerations, the DBX remains the most rewarding and engaging performance SUV in its class.

Best for: Buyers seeking a bespoke, driver-focused luxury SUV with exceptional performance and handling, those who value British engineering and heritage, and drivers unconcerned by running costs.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising fuel efficiency or lower running costs, buyers seeking hybrid or electric powertrains, or those requiring maximum towing capacity.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the DBX if: You seek a bespoke, driver-focused luxury SUV with exceptional performance and handling, value British engineering and heritage, and are unconcerned by running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise fuel efficiency, lower running costs, hybrid or electric powertrains, or require maximum towing capacity.

Competitive Position: The Aston Martin DBX stands apart in the luxury SUV market as the most rewarding and engaging performance vehicle of its type. Whilst rivals like the Bentley Bentayga offer greater luxury and the Range Rover L405 provides superior off-road capability, the DBX's bespoke platform and exceptional handling dynamics make it the driver's choice. Its 45.9% good and great deals availability is notably higher than competitors, offering strong value in the premium SUV segment. For those prioritising driving engagement over badge prestige or practicality, the DBX represents an uncompromising choice that delivers on Aston Martin's sporting heritage.
