Aston Martin DBX Rental
Aston Martin's SUV, styled like an Aston and built to carry a family, a surfboard, or four colleagues.
Overview
The Aston Martin DBX is a five-seat luxury SUV with a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 making 542 hp, and it is the only Aston built to be quiet by default rather than loud on purpose. It gets booked for a family week with real luggage or four adults to dinner, by renters who want the Vantage badge in a car other people can actually ride in.
How It Drives
Triple-chamber air springs and a 48-volt system replace the passive anti-roll bars every other Aston uses, so the DBX rides soft over broken pavement and still holds flat through a fast corner. That makes it the Aston for a ski trip or a group dinner rather than outright pace.
Who Rents It
The Aston Martin DBX suits a family week with real luggage, a ski trip, and the group dinner where four adults want to arrive in something with a badge rather than four doors and nothing else. It is also the choice for a renter who already wants the sports car experience from the Vantage or DB12 but needs a car other people can actually ride in. It is not the pick for a renter chasing outright pace, since Aston also builds a faster, harder version of this platform that is not part of the fleet. The optional sport exhaust, where fitted, is the single option that changes the day most, turning a calm V8 hum into a full throated note both inside and outside the car.
Trim Breakdown
Aston Martin builds the DBX as a five seat SUV on one platform with three power levels, the original DBX, the harder DBX707 above it, and the DBX S at the top. Our fleet runs the original.
Aston Martin DBX
The DBX is the original specification and the one in our fleet, rated at 542 hp from a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8, with a nine-speed torque converter automatic, steel brakes and triple-chamber air suspension as standard. An electric anti-roll system keeps the body flat without stiffening the ride, and a panoramic roof runs most of the length of the cabin. What separates one build from another is the options list rather than the hardware underneath, so an optional sport exhaust, Bowers and Wilkins audio, coloured calipers and quilted or brogue leather are where the variation sits. This is the quieter, softer DBX.
Aston Martin DBX707
The DBX707 is the performance version and the one most people picture when they hear the name. The same V8 is turned up to 697 hp and 664 lb-ft, the nine-speed automatic gives way to a wet clutch unit that swaps ratios harder, carbon ceramic brakes are standard, and a shorter final drive sharpens turn-in and shortens the gap between gears. It reaches 60 mph in about 3.1 seconds. The exhaust is louder at every throttle opening and the ride is firmer at low speed. We do not run the DBX707.
Aston Martin DBX S
The DBX S sits at the top of the range and is the last word on this platform. Aston Martin lifts the twin-turbo V8 to 717 hp, keeps the 664 lb-ft torque figure, and takes weight out with carbon body panels, an optional carbon roof and lighter magnesium wheels. Aerodynamic revisions and a reworked exhaust exit come with it. It reaches 62 mph in about 3.3 seconds. It is the sharpest and most expensive DBX built, and we do not run it either.
