Aston Martin Launches DBX GT as a Luxury‑Focused DBX Variant

Aston Martin aims to broaden appeal and lift margins through ride, gearbox and acoustic refinements with the DBX S’s 4.0‑litre V8 retained.

Overview

  • Aston Martin publicly unveiled the DBX GT this week, and the company says first customer deliveries will begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
  • The GT keeps the DBX S’s 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 and the same headline performance figures of about 727 PS, 900 Nm, 0–96 km/h in roughly 3.1 seconds and a top speed near 309–311 km/h.
  • Engine and braking hardware remain unchanged while engineers retuned the nine‑speed automatic, fitted a stiffer transmission mount, revised damper valving and added two longitudinal dampers to increase ride compliance and cut vibration.
  • Interior and acoustic work includes redesigned front and rear seats with a 10 mm memory‑foam layer, extra sound deadening, laminated rear side glass and deep‑pile carpets, which Aston Martin says produces a 13% gain in the Articulation Index.
  • Exterior and packaging tweaks give the GT a subtler look—double‑vaned grille, body‑coloured lower panels, horizontal quad exhausts and standard 22‑inch forged wheels—and the model is positioned to broaden customer choice and support higher margins for the marque.
