Gaydon – If Aston Martin’s DBX707 was a gentleman in a tuxedo with a gym membership, the new DBX S is the same gent—only now he’s bulked up, dropped a few kilos, and swapped his martini for pre-workout. The British marque has just unleashed its latest ultra-luxury SUV flagship, and this one doesn’t whisper refinement—it yells horsepower.
Touting 727PS and a crushing 900Nm of torque, the DBX S isn’t just a fast SUV—it’s a supercar with a boot. Aston Martin calls it “the most dynamic and engaging DBX ever.” We call it the four-wheeled equivalent of a Bond villain’s body double: intensely powerful, unapologetically stylish, and not afraid to make an entrance.
Valhalla in the Veins
The engineers have been busy raiding Valhalla—no, not the mythical afterlife, but Aston Martin’s upcoming supercar. The DBX S borrows turbo technology directly from its halo sibling, gaining an extra 20PS over the DBX707. That means 0–62mph in just 3.3 seconds—quicker than it takes to explain what “PS” stands for to your American friend.
Diet and Design: Less Fat, More Fury
The DBX S doesn’t just go faster—it’s also on a strict weight-loss regime. A carbon fibre roof sheds 18kg and drops the centre of gravity faster than your jaw when you hear the price. Want more? Opt for the magnesium wheels—a first in the SUV world—and shed another 19kg. In total, you can trim up to 47kg, which in the luxury segment is like a supermodel skipping dessert.
And it’s not just skinny—it’s stunning. A new grille, vertically stacked quad exhausts, and side sills that look like they could slice wind for a living all combine to give DBX S its own moody, muscular personality. The rear? Reprofiled. The diffuser? Reimagined. The presence? Positively presidential—if the president moonlighted as a street racer.
Inside the Beast’s Belly
Slide into the cabin and you’re greeted with a symphony of Alcantara, herringbone motifs, and red seatbelts—because why shouldn’t your SUV scream performance even while stationary?
Those opting for the optional carbon roof also get a matching herringbone headliner, making it the first SUV interior that could double as a runway for Italian fashion week. The iconic ‘S’ is proudly embroidered on the seats, subtly reminding you (and your passengers) that this isn’t a regular DBX—it’s the spicier, faster, sassier sibling.
Brains Behind the Brawn
The tech inside is as premium as the materials. Aston’s in-house infotainment system gets pride of place, joined by an 800W, 14-speaker sound system as standard. But if you’re more Carnegie Hall than car meet, tick the box for the 1,600W Bowers & Wilkins upgrade—complete with 23 speakers and a subwoofer that could rearrange your spine.
If SUVs are the modern family’s answer to sports cars, the DBX S is the equivalent of a private school parent who also bench-presses their Land Rover. It’s lighter, louder, faster, and more ferocious than ever, yet still soaked in that unmistakable Aston Martin elegance.
The DBX S isn’t just a new flagship. It’s a love letter to performance, a slap in the face to subtlety, and quite possibly the most exciting thing to happen to luxury SUVs since someone dared to turbocharge a Range Rover.
Deliveries begin Q4 2025, but if you’re hearing this and still on the fence—check your pulse.
