It will be available for production by the middle of 2023 and the first deliveries will begin in the latter part of 2024.
Engine Performance
The standard DBX runs on twin turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engines provided by Mercedes AMG. It produces 542 horsepower as well as 516 pounds of torque. It is coupled with an automatic transmission with nine speeds, which is also provided by Mercedes.
This DBX 707 has a redesigned model of the AMG powertrain, which produces 697 horsepower, and 663 pounds-feet of torque. The nine-speed automatic utilizes a wet-clutch package rather than the conventional torque converter utilized in the normal transmission.
Although the DBX is in essence a rear-wheel drive, the center transfer case transfers power to front wheels when there is a slippage observed on the back. The DBX also comes with a limited-slip rear differential that can pull up to 5940 lbs.
Height-adjustable air springs are as standard on the Aston which is a great option for those who want to go off-road. Its DBX that we drove went from 0-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds that’s quite impressive for a super-hot SUV however it’s the Lamborghini Urus and other rivals are considerably faster.
The model we tested on the best roads in England showcased the engine’s rich sound and the transmission’s obtrusive performance.
With a variety of driving modes, the chassis displayed a wide range of stances, from refined and comfortable to agile and fun. Despite its 157-foot limit from 70 mph, this vehicle had a sluggish brake pedal.
Energy Economy
According to the method used by the EPA, the standard DBX will yield 14 mpg in city traffic and 18 miles per gallon when driving. It’s not clear what the DBX 707’s estimates for highway and city usage haven’t been released yet.
We haven’t yet been able to test the model’s actual efficiency on our highway at 75 mph as an integral part of our comprehensive test program.
Exterior
The fundamentals that make up the 2023 Aston Martin DBX707 don’t stray away from the original SUV. It’s 198.4 inches of length and 78.7 inches of width and is 66.1 inches tall. It also has a base that is 120.5 pounds. It’s a huge bruiser with the 707 tipping its weight at 5,148 pounds.
This is the largest car Aston has ever created and the company’s designer team did a fantastic job of creating the DBX appearance intimidating but elegant. A lot of performance SUVs appear drab and overstuffed.
Similar to the first DBX model 707 also gets an upgraded front end, including an upgraded front grille, with new air intakes, a front splitter, as well as the introduction of new running lights for daytime use.
The focus is on making sure that to let the V-8 breath while also cooling the brakes and engine. The new corner spats help in improving the aerodynamics of the big ute, not just reducing the swirl between the front and rear wheels, but also by cutting down on the amount of lift of 5 per cent.
The new black satin-chrome window covers, as well as the hood is updated and complemented by more well-sculpted body panels. The rear ends are adorned with an anti-lift spoiler that is new as well as larger twin diffusers.
The package includes 22-inch wheels that are riding Pirelli P Zero tires customized to Aston. The biggest surprise for anyone living in Detroit is there are winter tires offered in addition. Also, optional 23-inch wheels as well as tires.
Interior
Even traditionalists could accept Aston for stepping into the SUV arena when they see that the interior is incredibly large, the DBX line has plenty of legroom and headroom across both rows.
Front seats are beautifully designed and will keep the driver in place even during spirited driving, yet they remain comfortable for long drives. There’s plenty of room to store cargo too, with 22.3 cubic feet when you put the rear seat raised 54 cubic feet with them folded back.
For the seating options, Aston is introducing multi-hued “Sport Plus” seats that come with the power of 16 ways. If you’re taking a hard turn you’ll enjoy the additional bolstering on the DBX707.
The cabin features new dark chrome-colored finishes to its switchgear as well as standard piano black finishes with the option of bronze or carbon fiber metallic mesh veneers.
It has a distinct high-tech look on the dashboard, beginning with the glass gauge that can be reconfigured to fit a cluster that is visible through a large 2-tone steering wheel. A huge infotainment screen anchors the center stack , and I loved having an additional cluster beneath it for various climate control settings.
Aston has now come out with 38 colours for its SUV. As you’d think from the British brand, the standard colors and finishes of the DBX707 can be customized extensively inside and out.

Summery:
Okay it’s true that it’s true that the Aston Martin DBX isn’t perfect. Like I discovered when I drove the initial SUV, the emphasis on aerodynamics caused Aston to remove an front windshield washer.
There’s a gap that’s opened at the middle part of the rear spoiler, and it’s great for blowing off rain when driving however, it wasn’t able to clear things up as well as I’d like when the leaden skies finally open.
If that criticism is going to cause you to rethink whether or not to purchase the 2023 Aston Martin DBX707, you’re not a good choice. This big SUV has many things to like, despite the size of its cost.
However, you’ll know that before going to this test. It will cost you $236,000 for an “base” version, if you happen to find one. Our well-equipped test vehicle increased the price to $291,586 and then added the delivery cost of $3,086.
FAQ:
How secure is the DBX?
The 707 comes with sports seats (less than aggressive comfort seats are available at no cost) and we found them to be comfy and comfortable without being excessively supported. Similar to the seats that are standard on the DBX they are extremely firm.
If you’re looking for a comfortable seat, you may consider giving them seats a try before purchasing. In any case it’s a good choice. DBX707 is a very well-appointed and well-constructed SUV. It provides a degree of individualization that very few other cars whether SUV or not, can rival.
What’s inside the DBX?
Chrome, leather and imitation suede cover almost all of the interior of the DBXjust what you’d want from the car that costs approximately $180,000. The DBX707’s price is around $50k more than the previous model it comes with few upgrades inside to highlight the performance-oriented design.
The front seats are sporty and come with and the upholstery is a combination with Alcantara fake suede as well as leather. The DBX’s comfortable seats are offered as a free cost option, and the Alcantara can be swapped out for a full-leather version.
As is expected, buyers can choose from many options for color of the upholstery and stitching colors, as well as the type of veneer, the switchgear surround and more when they decide to personalize the interior design of the DBX707 according to suit their preferences.
What exactly is work with the DBX drive?
Our experience in the DBX707 was spent on mountain roads and some hundred miles of highway. The large Aston was equally at ease in both settings. When we drove the 707’s steering did not feel tense or feel twitchy or disengaged.
With our test car’s extra 23 inches (!) wheel and tire set-up the ride was comfortable. There was definitely a feeling and sound of larger potholes however, nothing that really impacted the journey.
