Aston Martin DBX707 is the World’s Most Powerful SUV
The Aston Martin DBX707 is the British brand’s attempt at making the ultimate SUV.
The British carmaker is not holding back when it comes to newest product. The new DBX707 will be the fastest, most powerful and best handling, according to Aston Martin and those are lofty targets, especially considering the competition.
The 707 name reflects its output and the 4.0-litre biturbo AMG-sourced petrol engine has been given an upgrade. The turbos have been replaced by more powerful units, the engine has been recalibrated to deliver more power and torque, and there’s a new 9-speed transmission. Outputs of 520 kW and 900 Nm comfortably lift it above everything else in the luxury sports SUV segment. It’s only the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk that can match the outright power, with 522 kW from its supercharged V8.
The power increase gives the Aston Martin DBX707 a claimed sprint time of 3.3 seconds to 100 kph, thanks to the new gearbox which features much faster changes.
It’s not all about straight-line performance either and the Aston Martin DBX707 features carbon ceramic brakes which are lighter than the standard car’s stoppers by 40 kg. The vehicle rides on massive 23-inch alloy wheels and there’s an update version of the electronic limited slip rear differential, which has to safely accommodate the 900 Nm. It can cleverly send up to 100% of the available power to the rear axle. Could we see some proper sideways action in the new Aston Martin DBX707? We’ll have to wait and see.

The Aston Martin DBX 707 Is A Hot SUV That'll Hit 60 In 3.3 Seconds
Aston Martin now has a hot version of its big stupid DBX SUV to appeal to power-crazed rich people.
Aston Martin has been in a bit of a tricky spot for the last few decades, teetering on the brink of collapse for what seems like forever. But then, it started making SUVs, and suddenly its fortunes began turning. Now, it has a new version of its DBX SUV to see if more power can also mean more profit.
When the DBX started rolling off the Aston Martin production line in the UK way back in 2020, the firm desperately needed it to be a hit. In the months prior, it had sought an extra £260 million (or $350 million in America) to stay afloat as it pushed on with the new SUV, which some thought might be coming a little too late.
But then, a year later, Aston Martin released its half-year results for the beginning of 2021, which showed revenue up an incredible 242 percent to £499 million, or $673 million— largely because of the DBX. In fact, Aston claims it sold more than 3,000 DBXs in the first year of production.
And that brings us onto the DBX 707, which Aston claims is the “world’s most powerful luxury SUV.” Disclaimer: It isn’t. Tuning firm Mansory created its own hot version of the DBX with more power. But maybe Aston doesn’t concern itself with modifiers like that? Maybe it’s only counting production vehicles?
So, what’s changed in the DBX 707? Well, first off the engine has been given an upgrade.
The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine has been tweaked so that it now produces 697 hp, an increase of 155 hp on the base DBX. And that power boost is what gives the new DBX its name, as 697 hp is equivalent to 707 PS, or metric horsepower.
The DBX 707 has also been fitted with a nine-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic transmission, which contributes to the DBX707’s 0-62mph time of 3.3 seconds. For anyone counting, that’s just ahead of the 3.4 seconds it’ll take the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.

DBX707 unveiled as the world’s most powerful SUV
Aston Martin has unveiled what appears to be the world’s most powerful luxury SUV, the DBX707. Featuring new turbochargers fitted to the now-familiar AMG-sourced 4,0-litre V8, it develops 707 PS, as it’s name suggests, or 520 kW.
That’s a phenomenal 115 kW more than the standard DBX, as well as an equally impressive 200 N.m more caravan-pulling power. What’s really quite remarkable here is that those outputs are more than the very same engine develops in any AMG product without the assistance of hybrid gubbins.
The numbers are rather impressive with the Urus and Bentayga Speed both being beaten to 100 km/h from standstill; the DBX707 matching the Cayenne Turbo GT’s 3,3 second sprint. The top speed is 310 km/h which is astonishingly fast for a 2,2-tonne SUV. The immense increase in torque is handled by a wet plate clutch as opposed to the standard car’s torque converter, an addition that is said to reduce shift times by 30% while also providing a much sharper response with each gear change. In-gear acceleration has been maximised by means of reduced overall gearing.

520kW Aston Martin DBX707 revealed as world’s most potent luxury SUV
The Aston Martin DBX has a new flagship and it’s not just slightly more powerful than the regular SUV model in the British sportscar maker’s line-up. Thanks to significant output gains it claims to be the world’s most powerful series production SUV.
It’s dubbed the Aston Martin DBX707 because of its output of 707ps (metric horsepower); that equates to 520kW while maximum torque is quoted as 900Nm. Consider that the Lamborghini Urus offers a ‘mere’ 478kW. Its claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 3.3 seconds makes it exactly 0.3 seconds faster than its Italian rival.
As with the regular DBX, the 707 flagship is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG. However, Aston’s engineers in Gaydon have managed to extract an extra 115kW and 200Nm. The company hasn’t gone into huge detail about the tinkering that took place, but it does mention ball bearing turbochargers and bespoke engine calibration.

The Aston Martin DBX707 configurator is live: do your worst
Aston’s even-faster SUV has a configurator with many options. Fancy speccing one?
In case you missed the news, Aston Martin has unveiled a 697bhp, 193mph iteration of the DBX SUV called the DBX707. Yes, you did read that correctly. Oh, and it’ll do 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds. Which is nice.
Click these blue words for the full debrief, and then you’ll want to be clicking here to have a play on the configurator.
We’re not lying when we say there are literally thousands of possible colour combinations both inside and out. Caribbean Blue Pearl 2 exterior with an Eifel Green, Ivory and Vivid Red interior, anyone?
At one point we actively tried to make something that wouldn’t work and ended up accidentally loving the Q Branch combinations. The DBX707’s new wheels are likeable and you don’t have to have the protruding rear diffuser in carbon fibre finish. And you can darken the giant new grille. Result.

Aston Martin to end pure-combustion sales by 2026
Chairman Lawrence Stroll expects a fully electrified line-up, split between hybrids and EVs
Aston Martin has committed to dropping its pure-ICE engines within four years, according to reports. The firm has stated that it will be fully electrified from 2026, although an element of combustion engines will remain because hybrids will form part of the mix.
Nevertheless, it represents a change of heart from the British sports car manufacturer, which had previously said electrified vehicles would form only part of its line-up. However, rival Bentley has gone further, with a target of being electric-only by 2030.
Chairman Lawrence Stroll told the Financial Times: “I can’t tell you that 100% of Aston Martin customers want an electric vehicle.
“People still want the smell, the noise [of combustion-engined cars]. We’re gradually going to get to full EV, but we will continue offering both [electric and hybrids].
“There will still be an electrification component, but if someone wants an internal combustion engine in 2028, that will happen.”
Stroll was speaking at the launch of the DBX 707, the most powerful luxury SUV from a mainstream manufacturer. Despite all the focus on future electrification, the 707 uses a significantly uprated twin-turbo V8 producing 697bhp and 664lb ft. CEO Tobias Moers told Autocar that he expects this version to make up 60% of DBX sales when deliveries start in Q2 2022.

First drive Aston Martin DBX 707 prototype review
Range-topping DBX’s headline-grabbing power figure is only a small part of a significant package of revisions
The new DBX 707’s place in the world might seem obvious: a faster, brawnier version of the find-handling Aston Martin DBX intended to put some clear water between it and rivals in this ultra-competitive segment.
But it has another role, one that causes Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers to acquire a predatory grin: proving itself the fastest production SUV in the world.
The proof of that will doubtless come at the Nürburgring, where Aston Martin is planning to use the 707 to break the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT’s 7min 39sec lap record for an SUV. And that’s break as in smash.
But while that's the target, the revisions haven’t been allowed to compromise the DBX’s gentlemanly appeal. When Moers talks about the changes, he spends far longer talking about the new chassis settings than the revisions that have delivered the headline power figure (for the record: new ball-bearing turbos and a heavily revised induction system; the bottom end is unaltered.) While the front suspension has been stiffened to improve steering response, the rear dampers have been softened to improve traction.
Having demonstrated that it's also capable of some lurid drift angles, Moers leaves me to experience the car for myself.

Aston Martin DBX 707 review: 697bhp prototype SUV tested
Will people buy it?
Absolutely. Whether they should in this day and age is a matter for their conscience. Don’t forget Europe is way ahead of the environmental curve and far more sensitive to social concerns than the markets in Asia, American and the Middle East that will lap this up.
There are drawbacks that will irritate buyers everywhere though. Not the £189,000 sticker price (£30k up on standard) – that just helps ensure exclusively. There’s still no touchscreen. And what about the headline speed and power figures that Aston is placing so much stock in and that we know still have big pull for buyers? 707bhp, 3.3-to-60 and 193mph. They’re not massive shifts in the SUV-sphere.
193mph is a couple of mph faster than a Bentley Bentayga W12 Speed or Lamborghini Urus (both 190mph), while the Porsche Cayenne GT is already a quicker sprinter (0-62mph in 3.1secs). Rumour has it we’ll see a faster Urus this year too, one that will probably target 200mph and a sub-3.0sec sprint – benchmarks the DBX 707 fails to hit. Let’s hope the DBX’s inherent sophistication and desirability allow it to do the business. Plus, presumably, a fast lap of the ‘Ring.
