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 doors|swan-hinged doors]], while the [[Grille (car)|front grille]] is the largest ever fitted on an Aston Martin.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/nargessbanks/2020/08/17/aston-martin-dbx-design-story/#2dfd762d40f7|title=This Is The Design Story Behind DBX, Aston Martin's First Luxury SUV|work=[[Forbes]]|last=Banks|first=Nargess|date=17 August 2020|access-date=6 September 2020}}</ref> It has been described by the [[BBC]] and ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' as the "first [[full-size car|full-size]] five-seater" model that Aston Martin has sold.<ref name="BBC" /><ref name="Daily Telegraph 20 November 2019">{{Cite news|url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/comment/aston-martin-dbx-best-british-luck-hope-dont-need/ |title= Aston Martin DBX: best of British luck – but we hope you don't need it |last= Hudson |first= Paul |access-date= 23 March 2023 |work= [[The Daily Telegraph]] |date= 20 November 2019}}</ref> Sources outside the UK have described it as a "mid-sized crossover".<ref name=Maxim>{{cite web|url=https://www.maxim.com/rides/heres-why-the-aston-martin-dbx707-is-the-ultimate-luxury-suv/|title=Why the Aston Martin DBX707 is the ultimate luxury SUV |
