Aston Martin is revamping its DBX SUV lineup, streamlining it to feature only the DBX 707 variant, which now stands as the sole option. This version packs a formidable punch with its 707 horsepower engine, aligning more closely with the performance ethos of the sports car brand. Despite its SUV classification, the DBX 707 promises impressive speed and agility, appealing to enthusiasts seeking both luxury and performance in a larger vehicle.
The interior of the DBX receives a significant upgrade, notably in the dashboard area. A notable addition is the new 10.25-inch infotainment screen, featuring Aston Martin’s latest system and offering seamless integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The layout has been refined, with a cleaner design aesthetic eliminating the previously prominent round buttons. Physical controls are now consolidated lower on the center tunnel, enhancing ease of use and visual appeal.
Under the hood, the DBX retains its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, maintaining its robust performance figures of 697 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Power is channeled through a nine-speed wet-clutch automatic gearbox to an all-wheel-drive system capable of directing 100 percent of torque to the rear wheels. To further enhance driving dynamics, electronic dampers and air suspension receive updated calibration, promising improved handling and comfort.
Manufacturing of the new DBX 707 is slated to kick off in the second quarter of 2024, with deliveries targeted for the third quarter. This refined iteration of Aston Martin’s SUV aims to elevate the driving experience for discerning customers by seamlessly blending potent performance, luxurious comfort, and advanced technology. With its exclusive focus on the DBX 707 model, Aston Martin aims to provide a more cohesive and compelling option within the highly competitive luxury SUV market segment.
