As Rolls-Royce With the Cullinan, Bentley With the Bentayga or Lamborghini with theUrusthis vehicle is largely intended to attract new customers to the brand, which its sports models were not necessarily interested. Despite difficult commercial beginnings, it seems that the DBX saved Aston Martin from bankruptcy, the firm having experienced the latter important financial problems.

Offering a luxurious interior, space for 4 to 5 people, as well as a large trunk, the DBX arrived on the European market with a V8 4.0 biturbo d’origine AMGdeveloping 550 hp. A very comfortable power which seems not enough to some since Aston Martin presented the DBX 707, a spicy version of the SUV whose engine power was increased to 707 hp and 900 Nm.

More aggressive

Having recently been the subject of a Facelift, the DBX goes up a gear with its new S version. This is recognized by its larger grille and its blade placed in the bottom of the front shield.
