First ride: 2020 Aston Martin DBX prototype
Aston Martin’s first SUV will be unveiled later this month but we’ve had a preview
Autocar has been given early access to the Aston Martin DBX ahead of the car’s unveiling on 20 November, including a passenger ride alongside Aston’s chief engineer, Matt Becker.
The new SUV will be the most complex car in the company’s history when it arrives next year and Aston Martin has confirmed a starting price of £158,000.
The five-door 4x4 rides on a new aluminium platform and will be powered initially by a 542bhp 4.0-litre Mercedes-AMG V8. The twin turbocharged has been given an Aston tune, particularly aurally, with less bass than in its AMG applications. It drives through a nine speed torque-converter automatic gearbox, the first time Aston has used the Mercedes ‘9G’ transmission. Other powertrains will follow and the platform will be used for other Aston models.

Aston Martin DBX Interior Revealed
The very first Aston Martin SUV ever made will debut later this month so the manufacturer has decided to reveal the interior with us to keep us interested.
The Aston Martin DBX will be priced from $189,900 in the United States so it will certainly not be cheap in South Africa but the interior looks gorgeous and draped in high-quality materials, as you’d expect from the luxury automaker.

Aston Martin DBX
A bold new chapter and a landmark moment in Aston Martin's illustrious 106-year history, Aston Martin has unveiled its first SUV and a model that will propel the brand to new heights worldwide. That model, is DBX.
The culmination of an extensive development programme that began with physical testing in Wales last year and virtual development stretching back to 2015, Aston Martin DBX signals a new era in Aston Martin's pursuit to deliver exceptional performance, style and usability in a segment previously unexplored by the world-famous manufacturer. Bringing both the versatility and indulgence expected of a luxury SUV with sports car levels of dynamic performance, DBX sets a bold new standard in this sector.
Aston Martin Lagonda President & Group CEO, Dr. Andy Palmer said: "I can't emphasise enough how incredibly exciting and significant DBX is for Aston Martin. Through its development alone, this beautiful SUV has already taken the company into new territories and in inspiring directions. Aston Martin DBX also marks a key moment in the delivery of the third and final phase of our Second Century Plan, not only representing the promised expansion of our portfolio but also signaling the start of production at Aston Martin's second manufacturing plant. We have both delivered this model through our expertise, but also by garnering invaluable experience and knowledge from external counsel, including our Female Advisory Board. This is a real landmark for this great British brand and I promise that DBX will reward all who experience it in their everyday lives."

New Aston Martin DBX finally fully revealed as British brand’s first SUV
Aston Martin has finally fully unwrapped its new DBX, which arrives as both the first SUV and the first full five-seater in the British firm’s 106-year history.
The Gaydon-based automaker promises the new DBX combines the “versatility and indulgence” expected of a luxury SUV with “sportscar levels of dynamic performance”.
Built at Aston Martin’s new manufacturing facility in Wales, the DBX runs on a new dedicated SUV platform. The company says that thanks to its use of bonded aluminium, the body structure is “both very light and incredibly stiff”, resulting in a kerb weight of 2 245 kg.
Power comes from the Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8 shared with the DB11 and Vantage, although here it offers 405 kW and 700 N.m (and a “sound character that is unquestionably Aston Martin”). That’s enough, says Aston Martin, for a sprint from standstill to 100 km/h in 4,5 seconds and a top speed of 292 km/h.
A nine-speed torque convertor automatic transmission sends drive to all four wheels, while adaptive air suspension combines with a 48 V electric anti-roll control system and electronic adaptive dampers to lend the DBX what Aston terms “a huge breadth of ability”.

Aston Martin DBX Revealed with 404 kW
Aston Martin’s first-ever SUV has broken cover and it looks mighty fine. This is the DBX!
Aston Martin has buckled to the SUV trend and created its first high-riding model, the DBX. If the global success of models such as the Porche Cayenne and Lamborghini Urus is anything to go by, Aston Martin should turn a fair penny for its efforts.
The DBX is a pretty luxury performance SUV that will be built at Aston Martin’s new purpose-built facility in St Athan, Wales. The DBX will be built on the brand’s new SUV platform and will utilise a bonded aluminium construction with a structure that is both extremely light but also notably stiff to ensure maximum performance ability.
This all comes at a price, however, and initial indications point to a starting price of around R2.9-million. The local availability of the Aston Martin DBX has yet to be confirmed.

Meet Aston Martin's saviour, the DBX SUV
Is James Bond planning to mount pavements in an SUV sometime soon? That could well be the case as his favourite car company has just launched its first sport utility.
Enter the DBX.
So another one bites the dust, you might say, but this is probably the vehicle that will save the British sports car specialist, while also ensuring it has the future funds to create more of the type of cars it’s famous for. Basically what the Cayenne did for Porsche. Aston Martin has gone bankrupt seven times in its 106 year history, according to Reuters, and its share prices have plunged by around 75 percent in the last year on falling demand for the Vantage.
So let’s meet the saviour, shall we.
Dedicated platform, AMG power
Built in a purpose-made factory in Wales, the Aston Martin DBX is crafted around a new dedicated SUV platform and its body is made from bonded aluminium to minimise weight, although the finished product is still a little portly at 2245kg.
As with the latest Vantage and DB11, the DBX is motivated by an AMG-sourced 4-litre twin-turbo petrol motor, the revised version in this model producing a wholesome 405kW and 700Nm of twisting force. That should get you from a standstill to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds, according to factory quotes, and on to a top speed of 291km/h, while the active exhaust system ensures it’s a musical experience too.
