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

The GT retunes the DBX S’s 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 and chassis to deliver quieter, more comfortable long‑distance driving for buyers who prefer refinement over overt sportiness.

Overview

  • Aston Martin has revealed the DBX GT as a comfort‑and‑luxury counterpart to the sportier DBX S, with orders open and first customer deliveries scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
  • The GT keeps the same 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 and headline performance figures as the DBX S, including roughly 717 hp, about 3.1 seconds 0–60 mph pace, and a top speed near 193 mph.
  • Engine and drivetrain hardware are unchanged but calibrated for refinement through revised damper valving, two longitudinal rear dampers, a stiffer transmission mount, and smoother nine‑speed gearbox mapping.
  • Interior and acoustic upgrades include redesigned seats with an added 10 mm memory‑foam layer, individual outer rear seats, more sound deadening and laminated glass, which Aston Martin says yields a 13% gain in the vehicle’s articulation index for easier in‑car conversation.
  • Visual and specification changes separate the GT from the S with a double‑vaned grille, body‑coloured lower panels, horizontal quad exhaust tips, standard 22‑inch forged wheels, and reported regional price estimates that remain unconfirmed by the company.
