New 2022 Aston Martin DBX review: aex.ae/3EbT7El
New Aston Martin DBX full details: aex.ae/3gihsxc
The world almost certainly doesn’t need a new 697bhp, £190,000 version of the already exclusive Aston Martin DBX. But as uber-fast, money-no-object SUVs go - the popularity of which is growing in 2022, hence the reason we’ve seen rivals announced recently from both Ferrari and Lotus, to name but two - Aston Martin has elevated the DBX right to the top of a very tall tree with this ‘707’ model (its power output in PS).
In simple terms, it is the fastest production SUV money can buy right now with a top speed of 193mph. So given that it also weighs a fair bit less than its competition from Porsche (Cayenne GT Turbo), Lamborghini (Urus) and Audi (RS Q8), it’s hardly surprising that Aston Martin claims such monumental performance for the 707.
Thanks to the combined effects of a full-blown launch control system, a revised nine-speed automatic gearbox and 900Nm of torque, the 0-62mph time has dropped to a vaguely surreal 3.3 seconds. Crazier still, arguably, is the fact it takes just 7.4 seconds for the 2,245kg DBX707 to hit 100mph from rest, because this makes it one of the most accelerative Aston Martins in history. But is it better than its rivals from behind the wheel? Steve Sutcliffe is at the helm to find out in this review.

So it gets Steve's stamp of approval, but are you convinced by a 697bhp Aston Martin SUV? Let as know, and as ever, thanks for watching - more Sutcliffe videos to come! 😁
It Sutcliffe likes it then I know that it’s something special.
Personally, I also love this bonkers DBX :). More reviews with Steve and Yousuf please, they are the best :D
Stay tuned, Nathan!
@@Autoexpress 😃👍
Steve should drive a Tesla Model 3.
Surprised and delighted to hear Steve's dulcet tones on RUclips again. Possibly one of the best car reviewers giving us another great review!
Way to go in matching exactly the timing of the video to 7:07m! Dedication to the craft aye ;)
Glad someone noticed 😉
Great to see and hear Steve again
I have missed Steve Sutcliffe a lot. I used to watch you so much while I was going through a lot of difficulties in my life. Thank you man!
Superb video. More Steve please.
Yay! More Steve 🙂 even if it is in a hyper fast bus. The sad thing is, in watching Mr Sutcliffe's superb reviews, it does feel like a final lap of honour as manufacturers fire out their apex combustion engined finery. A simply unimaginable hole will be left soon, when we stop talking about engine characteristics and transmission quality and are left with the metrics of performance, times around a track etc to light our fires. These are videos to savour and cherish.
Love a good Steve review
So Ive already seen videos of Aston Martin DMX707…. But then I see Steve Sutcliff - instant click!
Steve an excellent review as always! If only I could have one, I 'd buy it in a heartbeat!
Glad you mentioned the 'chilled out' performance, Steve, as that's what it'll be doing (and judged upon by other family members) 99% of the time. This is an awesome, elegant beauty. My fave luxury suv by far.
Is this using the Mercedes’ 9g tronic? From other descriptions it sounds like it as it’s an auto with clutch rather than torque converter?
Steve is so cool to listen to man
Excellent review, but I'm surprised you didn't mention how it handles, which is very important.
I need to do the Lotto this weekend as I've just seen my perfect SUV 😊
More Steve Sutcliffe please. The 707 looks better than the standard DBX. It would look even better with standard body colored roof and roof rail delete.
But how does it compare to a Lister stealth?
Stunning and beautiful car.
Glorious 🥇
See Steve hit like before even watching in full. Ye know it's gonna be a good un.
I love the interior
More Steve, please. Fewer SUVs, please.
Imagine if they put this much effort into a sedan, with a hatch rear and folding rear seats. Something actually good looking and desirable, with seating for 4-5 people and a low centre of gravity...
The rapide was beautifull, shame that people prefer suvs and not lixury super sporty sedans. A new rapide with more space this engine, modern chasis and tunig would be a dre car.
No one would buy that. Hence the SUV
@@Joshua-cu1uz China would buy it.
I think they did a great job! To me the Aston feels more special than the other big dog suvs, being built on a bespoke platform and all.
Would rather have the Stelvio QV and a 100 grand in my pocket.
LONG LIVE THE SUV!
Interesting review. Many of the RUclips reviewers don’t seem to really rate the DBX that highly compared to the competition.
What you mean Steve is the others are more Terminator than James Bond.
Precisely!
Sedans are old Hat, crossovers etc are where we’re at.
Woahh :D. Crazy how many more horsepower they managed to get out of the 4 litre V8 from the 'regular' DBX. Epic review :)
The small subtle style changes have been a great success over the standard car...let’s hope the lacklustre Design of the other cars don’t drag the company into bankruptcy, I own a 2016 Vantage but would not update to current Vantage due to looks and interior of current car, the Superlegga is handsome but interior is disappointing..it’s all a bit of a mess
New Ford Focus?
AMG engine?
I just don’t ‘get ‘ this car. Ima huge fan of the Cupra Formentor and the Uris but for me this Aston doesn’t astonish or take my breathe away what’s so ever.
In fact during this video , at a distance if the Ford logo appeared would you be shocked ?
I know it’s subjective so don’t attack me but I just cold .
Also, why was this the last Bond car? Surely working model or 5 could have been made to fit the movie production .
Great, another overpowered SUV...Let's hope that Aston can finally register a profit at least and that it'll make people forget about the Valkyrie.
So you're just going to ignore the Kia Ev6 GT that goes from 0-60 in 3.27 seconds... ? Okay....
The answer is no. It closely resembles the attractive DBX. It does not really change everything. Turn up the boost, tighten the suspension, different final drive ratio, more wheel and tire and what? 707, isn't that an old airplane? We've had Vantage S V12, Vanquish S V12, DB11 V12, DBS V12, Vulcan V12s, Valkyrie V12, etc. so the latest and baddest Aston SUV is a Mercedes V-8 with a bunch of boost? And this is supposed to be extraordinary? You have not hit the mark. Not in design or cache. Every other car on the road has a 4.0 litre MB v-8 in it. Pease tell me that there is a special S version about to be introduced which is a Thank you God Aston V12. Then you have something to go up against the new Ferrari V12 suv and can will have everyone listening to the music.
Steve is the man, so I sort of believe him a little bit. But overall the army of British 'car journalists' flooding youtube once again, as always, with purely gushing reviews of British products is ridiculous. Brits have to be the most biased people on the planet after North Koreans.
Yeah, Brits are very loyal to their cars. No matter how flawed they are.
@@KUROSHURA trust me, we are quite the opposite. We are highly critical of vehicles built in the UK.
you wally
@@KUROSHURA and you
@@jameskalas16 yet none of you guys pointed out those hideous roof rails and glass roof on the DBX 707. Both design features that take away from the Elegance that British Cars are world renowned for.
I Still prefer the urus
I can’t wait to see Mat Watson drag race this against the Urus, Cayenne GT Turbo and RSQ8.
He has and it beat Yianni’s new Urus
@@markpass4215 now that you mention it I do remember watching that. He said he couldn’t review the car yet only race it.
Can't stand that immature plonker.
I hate Tesla but pretty sure the Model X Plaid would destroy this 0-60mph.
so what who cares they are really ugly
Looks like a Ford festiva from 2003 at the front 🤮
14 mpg Lol
Aston Martin needs to come back to reality. Electric cars are much more powerful and efficient with an mpg you cannot even dream of.
Pray tell what is it like off road!!! Every video I have watched about the 707, shows all on road stuff and no 4x4 activity!!!!! The SUV has 4WD.....so please put some mud under the tyres!!!!! Regards Ian 👨🎤✊🇺🇦✊🇳🇿
I don’t get this, what’s the point in doing this for a suv? Who’s the target market?
Everyone apparently. With over 60% of new car sales being SUV’s.
Most people who have cheated themselves into high salaries just look at numbers on paper and size. They want big, and big numbers on paper. They think it's better.
rich people
Looks like a Korean monstrosity, though, so who cares?!
Look at their interiors, maybe the designers of those were now allowed to design the exterior?
What an obscene waste of space.
Kerb weight DIN: 2,245Kg / 4,940lb
Gross vehicle weight: 3,020Kg / 6,644lb
I'm sure it's going to save the planet, not.
this looks like vw t rock
The Jeep track hawk has more power doesn’t it? Not even going to mention the electric cars.
Just imagine in America we put 700hp on pickup trucks. Crazy!
And those Murican SUVs and so on go like 500 hp compared to European ones 🙈😂
The engineering was never the problem with the DBX, but I do question why they needed to do a massively powerful version so soon after launch? Have sales been so bad that Merc Man Tobias Moers can only think stick more power in? Just as he did back at Merc to ugly cars? And that's really the problem with Aston - their designer Reichman can't design a beautiful car. His designs are all over the place, a mess. Even the seats in this look like off-cuts from a cheap tracksuit. To save Aston Martin you need to sack Reichman.
Must be just insecurity that brings out the trolls …Trackhawk blah, Uranus Blah blah..Model X 🤢🤣😂🤣
Steve is getting older and older… no way its as fast in straight line as Cayenne GT or others. Guess CarWow will sort that out.
We’re all getting older and older.
Don't worry, I'm sure you can find young little twink car reviewers elsewhere on youtube for you to fantasize about.
This is a perfect example why the current auto industry needs to die. Within 10 years, Tesla has become the most innovative car company with fast innovation and focus on technology. Remember what Apple did to Nokia and Blackberry.
Unfortunately for Tesla their cars are boring to look at and drive.
Brits are always extremely biased towards their own brands
Could it not be the car is just good.
And the Italians, Germans or Americans aren't?
because there the best
Completely irrelevant.
Slower than Plaid Tesla Model X for 3x the price🤣
Typical how old are you twelve? In it's electric dreams can a plaid go around corners or handle like any of it's competition let alone this plus it doesn't have a V8 so 🤷🏾♂️
It is surely not, no.
Don’t forget to mention how boring Teslas are to look at AND drive.
