Aston Martin DBX (SUV)

2024 Aston Martin DBX to gain touchscreen in wide-reaching update

Top-selling SUV will receive cockpit overhaul based on new DB12, with bespoke Aston infotainment

Aston Martin will update the interior of its top-selling DBX SUV to install the new infotainment system of the DB12 sports car “in the near future”, company chairman Lawrence Stroll said.

The DBX has an outdated infotainment system sourced from Mercedes-Benz that uses a trackpad to control the screen instead of a touchscreen, a set-up that has been criticised by some users for lagging the competition. The DB12 features a new touchscreen with software designed by Aston Martin.

Stroll confirmed the updates to the DBX in the company’s third-quarter earnings call in response to a question from JPMorgan analyst Akshat Kacker, who referenced the new DB12 interface by saying that “a lot of customers might be waiting for an update on the SUV as well”.

 
What exactly *is* the Ferrari Purosangue, and what's it like against the Aston Martin DBX707?

Ferrari tells us its four-door Purosangue is definitely not an SUV, which raises some questions...

1: Ferrari Purosangue 9/10

Practical enough to do a job, striking enough to get noticed, dynamic enough to be genuinely rewarding. The closest thing the SUV class has to a supercar

The very orange and very fast new Aston DBX707 gets a brand new interior

Aston overhauls its rocket-powered manor house. 697bhp DBX is only model now

This is the brand new Aston Martin DBX, and at first glance it appears not much has changed. And you’d be right.

For it features the same Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre V8, developing the same 697bhp (707PS, hence the name) and 663lb ft of torque as before. Tops out at the same 193mph. OK fine, it’s two tenths faster to 60mph now, taking just 3.1s vs the old car’s 3.3s.

But it looks the same, if a little more… orange. So what, you cry, has Aston Martin done to this power-crazed four-wheel-drive manor house? Well, step through the doors and enter…

… a world of yet more orange, and a completely overhauled interior. Take a moment to ingest all the details and architecture, because this now looks like a proper Aston Martin cabin.
