The Aston Martin DBX is a luxury crossover SUV that has been designed with both performance and style in mind. Combining a stunning exterior design with an incredibly powerful engine and state-of-the-art technology, the DBX is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. The DBX was first introduced as a concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and appeared to be a sports coupé turned into a more traditional SUV with 22-inch wheels.
Engine & Performance
The luxury SUV is fueled by a Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo V8 gas engine, 4 liters with 550 hp and 700 Nm of max torque. Though Aston Martin already employs this power unit in the Vantage & DB11 sports cars, it’s been modified to provide even more juice. An active exhaust system allows the SUV to toggle between sounding refined or excitingly sporty–and either way, its unmistakable sound will turn heads.
The engine’s versatility isn’t just limited to its sound as this V8 engine features cylinder deactivation to improve fuel economy, but it can also propel the DBX from 0 to 62 mp/h in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 181 mp/h. Power transmission is provided by a 9-speed automatic transmission, and the drive is on all four wheels via an active central differential and an electronic differential with limited slip at the rear (off). It also has an air suspension. The size of its tires is 285/40R22.
Interior Features & Specs
The DBX comes with standard features such as a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, and heated seats. It is also equipped with safety features like forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control. This is the first Aston Martin to offer lane-keeping assist. Its weight is 4,949 lb, and the trunk volume is 632 liters, with the possibility of lowering the rear seats’ backrests in the ratio of 40:20:40.
The DBX is being built at Aston Martin’s new factory in St Athan, South Wales. The DBX will set you back about $90,000in the US. That’s roughly in line with the prices of most of its SUV competitors, such as the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Conclusion
The Aston Martin DBX is truly a marvel of engineering regarding luxury SUVs – offering exceptional performance, exquisite design details inside and out, cutting-edge technology, and advanced safety features – all wrapped up in one beautiful package!
