Revamped Aston Martin DBX707 Sets New Industry Standards
The Aston Martin DBX, a high-performance SUV, has received significant updates, particularly to its cabin, making it even more competitive in the luxury vehicle market. The British automaker has discontinued the standard DBX model, now exclusively offering the more dynamic DBX707 version. This move aims to streamline the lineup and enhance the vehicle’s appeal against high-end competitors like the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, and Porsche Cayenne.

Performance and Design Enhancements
While the DBX707 retains the powerful Mercedes-sourced 4-litre V8 engine, producing 697bhp and enabling a 0-60mph sprint in just 3.1 seconds, Aston Martin has made substantial revisions elsewhere. The vehicle’s air suspension and dampers have been finely tuned to improve body control and driving dynamics, crucial for maintaining precision in corners—a feature surely influenced by its role as the official medical car for the Formula One World Championship. Externally, the SUV boasts new pop-out door handles and redesigned door mirrors, enhancing its aerodynamics and integrating with an updated 3D surround camera system.

Interior and Technological Upgrades
Inside, the DBX707 showcases a redesigned layout that aligns with the aesthetics of the latest Aston Martin sports cars like the DB12 and Vantage, featuring a more horizontal theme to echo a sports car feel. The center console has been simplified yet retains essential physical controls, enhancing both functionality and elegance. Technology-wise, the SUV is equipped with Aston Martin’s latest infotainment system, housed in a 10.25-inch touchscreen that supports wireless connectivity and multi-finger inputs, complemented by a new 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and an optional Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system.
