Aston Martin has announced the six charms of the DBX707, a luxury SUV infused with sports car DNA. The DBX707, hailed as the ultimate luxury SUV, boasts powerful performance and a luxurious, comfortable design, delivering an unparalleled driving experience. In this light, Aston Martin has analyzed the six key factors that contribute to the DBX707’s popularity.
The first feature is the newly installed AMG V8 4.0 engine in the DBX707. Equipped with the upgraded 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine compared to the previous DBX, it boasts an improved output of 707 horsepower and a torque of 900 Nm, an increase of 157 horsepower and 200 Nm respectively. The vehicle is paired with a 9-speed wet clutch automatic transmission and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, demonstrating performance on par with racing cars despite its weight of 2,245 kg.
The new AMG wet clutch pack reduces power loss in comparison to DBX’s standard torque converter, allowing for quicker gear changes. It features an enhanced autonomous launch control system, known as ‘Race Start’, which helps the vehicle accelerate smoothly and quickly.
Operating in ‘Sport’ or ‘Sport+’ mode, the driver can press both the brake and gas pedals simultaneously, causing a red message to appear on the dashboard, and upon reaching 4000 rpm, releasing the brake launches the vehicle with explosive speed.
The DBX707 boasts an advanced design that enhances both aesthetic beauty and aerodynamic performance. The front of the vehicle has been modified with a larger grille, new air intakes, brake cooling ducts, and a splitter to increase performance. The addition of a lip spoiler on the roof wing enhances high-speed stability. The lower center of gravity gives the vehicle a stable and majestic silhouette.
Additionally, the interior design applies an elegant yet sporty theme known as ‘Accelerate.’ Multi-adjustable heated and ventilated seats feature dark chrome finishes, adding practicality along with a luxurious feel. Premium leather and Alcantara materials are used for headlining, and the intricately embroidered Aston Martin logo on the sports steering wheel and seatbacks adds to the luxurious driving experience.
Moreover, the DBX707 offers optimal handling for precise control under any road conditions. The rotary dial on the top of the center console allows for easy switching between multiple driving modes such as ‘Terrain’, ‘Individual’, ‘GT’, ‘Sport’, and ‘Sport+’. The air suspension, new dampers, and newly programmed electronic stability program absorb road imperfections, providing a plush ride.
Finally, the Aston Martin DBX707 embodies luxury as a British supercar brand while simultaneously offering practicality as an SUV. It showcases outstanding engine performance, responsiveness, acceleration, and cornering capabilities that can rival racing cars. Switching to GT mode enhances stability at high speeds for a quiet and comfortable drive. From thrilling off-road adventures that relieve stress to comfortable urban drives with family, the DBX707 can be utilized in diverse ways.
With its varied charms, the Aston Martin DBX707 has won numerous awards from various international media. It was named ‘Best Luxury SUV’ by GQ’s Car Awards, and was recognized as ‘Super SUV of the Year’ by the renowned British automotive show Top Gear. It also won the ‘Best Super Luxury SUV’ category at the National Auto Awards hosted by PR Arabia, an automotive agency in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this year, British Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, were spotted test-driving the Aston Martin DBX707 in Norfolk, drawing significant media attention. Aston Martin, celebrating its 110th anniversary this year, manufactures the DBX707 in southern Wales.
