First Drives Confirm Aston Martin DBX S as Brand's Flagship Performance SUV

Lightweight carbon or magnesium options with sharper chassis tuning push a high-margin, personalization-led strategy.

Overview

  • Mallorca reviews detail a revised twin‑turbo 4.0‑litre V8 using larger compressors derived from the Valhalla program.
  • Published outputs vary between 717 and 727 hp, while shared performance figures hold at 0–62 mph in 3.3 seconds and 193 mph top speed.
  • A carbon‑fibre roof and 23‑inch magnesium wheels headline weight‑saving options that trim roughly 47–50 kg, with some reports citing about 103 lb.
  • Chassis changes include a 4% quicker steering ratio plus recalibrated air springs, adaptive dampers and eARC for crisper responses and a slightly tighter turning circle.
  • The interior remains richly appointed and now offers Apple CarPlay Ultra, with UK pricing starting around £210,000.
