CNET Cars | Here's why the Aston Martin DBX is THE BEST luxury SUV @roadshowautos | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Is the Aston Martin DBX a large sports car or a sporty SUV? And is there as difference?
The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 is sourced from Mercedes-AMG and makes 542 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, so there's always power available whenever you need it. The V8 sounds awesome -- especially through the optional ($2,300) sport exhaust -- and this engine provides enough motivation to shoot the big DBX to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds.
Despite its stature, the DBX is surprisingly nimble. The adaptive air suspension and 48-volt anti-roll tech keeps the DBX flat and composed while cornering, with the torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system managing power delivery to each wheel. The steering is quick and makes the DBX eager to dive into a turn; this Aston never feels like it's too much to handle on a narrow canyon road. It's long and wide, sure, but if there's enough tarmac between the lines on the road, the DBX is happy to hustle.
That's all well and good; an Aston Martin SUV should be quick and agile. But equally as important is the DBX's ability to just chill the F out and comfortably roll through the city. So I'm glad the three-chamber air suspension is perfectly adept at providing a cosseting ride on city streets. Even with its largest 22-inch wheels, the DBX is never too stiffly sprung for daily driving, and doesn't give up a skosh of twisty-road cred.
