The DBX is the first car made at Aston Martin's new facility in St Athan, Wales. According to executive vice president and chief creative officer Marek Reichman, the wheelbase of the DBX stretches as far out as possible for the wheels to be positioned at the corners of the vehicle which with the low roofline creates the illusion of a smaller car helping make the DBX appear more like a traditional Aston Martin shape. The DBX features swan-hinged doors, while the front grille is the largest ever fitted on an Aston Martin.[9]

Specifications and performance

While related to the Vantage, the DBX is built on its own dedicated platform. Like other Aston Martin models, it is constructed with bonded aluminium panels and extrusions. The powertrain and infotainment technology are borrowed from Mercedes-Benz. The DBX uses Mercedes-AMG's M177 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that has a power output of 550 PS (405 kW; 542 hp) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque.[10] The DBX is capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, and attaining a top speed of 292 km/h (181 mph).[11] A 9-speed automatic gearbox is standard, and towing is rated at up to 2,700 kg (6,000 lb). Its emissions are NEDC Combined CO2 269g/km and its UK combined mpg is 19.73. A 48-volt electric active roll system counteracts body roll under hard cornering, and the vehicle comes with five driving modes: a default GT, Sport, Sport Plus, Terrain and Terrain Plus with an additional Access mode. An active center transfer case directs torque to the front axle when it is required, and there is also an electronic limited slip rear differential. Adaptive dampers and triple-chamber air springs are both standard, offering a significant range of height adjustment.[12][13]

In November 2021, a new engine appeared. Only available in China, this Mercedes-AMG's M256 3.0-litre turbocharged I6 has a power output of 435 PS (320 kW; 429 hp) and 520 N⋅m (384 lb⋅ft) of torque.[14]

On 1 February 2022, Aston Martin unveiled the world's most powerful petrol crossover, called the Aston Martin DBX707[15]. Its engine from Mercedes-AMG (M177 AMG engine) was slightly modified by Aston Martin and received new turbochargers with ball bearings. of which its power is 707 PS (520 kw; 701 hp) and 900 N·m (662 lb·ft) of torque. AMG's MCT 9G-Tronic transmission has also been upgraded to receive "wet clutch" and changed gear ratios. In total, all modifications allow the sports crossover to score the first hundred in 3.3 seconds and accelerate to a top speed of 310 km/h. The changes also affected the suspension and steering — they became more sporty. At the rear of the car is a carbon spoiler and splitter, as well as a four-barrel exhaust system. Brake system — improved, carbon-ceramic, rear brake discs — 390 mm, front — 420. The base of the car is equipped with 22-inch wheels, but for an additional fee, a 23-inch version is possible. The price for the basic version starts from 232 thousand dollars.

In 2021, it was announced that the DBX would become the official Formula One Medical Car, joining the Mercedes C63S AMG Estate Medical Car.
