Happy Weds everyone! And welcome to the most powerful SUV that we've ever driven on the channel! Crazy to think how Aston managed to swindle Mercedes-AMG into getting the most powerful version of the M177 AMG V8 but here we are. When it comes to exotic high powered factory-built SUV's, it doesn't get much crazier than this! Enjoy!
I love how much fun you were having with this. Car is very awesome but I can’t imagine paying $300k and it being outdated with tech right off the lot. I would rather lose performance and buy something else. The sound reminds me of the XM. I like it.
Prefer cars for driving personally but then again I have an iPhone 12! I don’t give a shit about “tech “ as it’s outdated after 12 months whatever you get. Aston’s tend to be owned by people with a bit off class. The Lincoln,although might be a great truck would get left beyond the horizon after the 1st bend in the road!
I'm ok with old technology, but I come from a generation that did not have all the tech today. It a nice looking suv. I will put on my short list. Thanks for the content.
That just isnt a 200k interior anyway you cut it. Might be handcrafted but it just aint all the impressive. Those nasty plastic window controls are unacceptable. Need to be made outta striaght metal.
Hey Sofyan Thx again for an AWESOME review👍👊 See if you can review the other AM's too - The info update on this one is newer than the Vantage & DBS. Luckily for AM buyers the DB 12 has a newer Command centre and also a tranny lever vs those buttons. FYI its not a "Heads up" display rather its a "Head Up" display. Also, when a vehicle is fast its referring to its top speed EG Aventador"s & Bugatti's are Fast. Quick is the 0-60 and/or 1/4 mile times. EG Tesla Plaid is quick in 1.4 mile but NOT a FAST vehicle Been following your reviews for a few yrs now and I luv how you still get giddy when launching a car:-) Have an AWESOME day!!! Cheers from Vancouver, Canada
Great video i do believe even though the Mercedes equipment in its time was good for the price point they are asking for that car you would expect something a lot more up-to-date, preferably touchscreen you are right it looks outdated love the look of it though and that sound 🤤
we're on the eve of a new infotainment interface with the db12 launch next week. i'm holding out for aston to bring those upgrades to the dbx707 interior, then ill go trade my 22 f-pace svr on one - also needs adaptive headlights and massage seats
Yes the ultimate aston martin to buy, i condone myself, it's been a while since I watched this channel, glad I'm watching it, let alone a suv this is fast for any car, up ahead on the other road it would do even beter
For that money, it dang well better sound that good. I'm as impressed with a turbo 4-banger as the next guy, but there ought to be a brute sound to match the brute force. I know EVs don't make all that noise, and indeed they're quite a force, but internal combustion will always be a more impressive machine.
Lol really? I assume you never saw one in person! There is no mistaken an Aston. In person it is an amazing looking car that is by far the funnest to drive!
Holy Crap that Launch Control that punches you in the back of the seat. 😂😂😂😂 22:40 also thankfully aston martin dbx 707 add launch control new for 2023
As far as the door closing and the "THUNK" , think of it as a more British refined piece of hardware, subtle distinguished, reserve and slightly apologetic while still maintaining sophistication :)
It's gorgeous, but they still can't get the front clip to fit properly. Looks like the car has been in an accident. The body panel gaps are terrible all around for such an expensive product. I mean cheap cars don't even have this problem anymore. The infotainment in this car doesn't have anything to do with MBUX. Aston wishes it did.
Nice...but with a ask of $240,000 to start...its a hard sell. Too many manual operations (seat fold down/up, doors open/close, etc..). Add a last gen infotainment and I can think of a few SUVs with more, for much less... 1/4 million dollars and the backseat occupants look at a temp gauge, nothing more. Tesla and BMW are giving you color touch entertainment screens back there...
This vehicle has a lot of flaws. Particularly in the technology area. Which makes it hard to believe it costs 300k. So many more options for that kind of money that overshadows the DBX
Lol destroy??? It might be faster by a tenth of a second but if that how you judge a car you have no idea. Again I love Porsche and have 911 gts. Dbx is an amazing car both the regular and newer 707. In all aspects. Drive one and you will understand!!!!
@@ronen1167 I tested the Cayenne Turbo GT when I went to Germany to visit my uncle he owns one thus my dream car, handling is amazing, Porsche's Dynamic Chassis Control with active roll bars. A multi-link suspension at all four corners. The Turbo GT also gets lower springs and carbon fiber roof compared to a regular Cayenne. I will chose Porsche over the Aston Martin DBX even though I haven’t tested one before
@@ronen1167 I would not get the turbo GT do its very basic and bland interior options, but they are both fast, its just that porsche has a better interior layout, technology and timeless design, aston has good quality interior but as you can see its just a pile of leather, it doesnt flow. As far as capability, porsche is well rounded more than aston, now personally I like maserati, but they have reliability issues.
I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t want my luxury car sounding like a muscle car with loud pipes. Then the interior reminds me of how we used to trick out our cars, with loud seat covers, when I was 19

Hi Redlone, you know you've made it in life when you're driving thr apostle ro the Exotic Cars.
What do you think about the Polestar 1 ??
@@Nom_AnorVSJedi I like the Polstar 1 I think it's a dandy of an SUV.
@@LuisUrbieta you’re thinking of the Polestar 2 … the 1 is a coupe.

Sofyan, I remember watching your channel since your days at the Ford dealership. It's amazing how far you've come! Keep up the great content!

Ikr soft brains be buying 200k EVs that literally have the same drivetrain as a Chevy Bolt 😅
Your laughter was contagious, had me smiling 😂😂 That looks really fun, I wouldn't buy it but your reactions was very compelling. Great review 👏 👌🏾
Great stride sofyan.... getting a Aston Martin for review!!
This car is my baby lol I've had my dream spec saved in my computer for months, just waiting on it to manifest! Excellent review as always!
16:44 Aston has been using that same shifter location for 20 years or so
I love how much fun you were having with this. Car is very awesome but I can’t imagine paying $300k and it being outdated with tech right off the lot. I would rather lose performance and buy something else. The sound reminds me of the XM. I like it.
And materials be damned, that interior space is ugly AF. Lincolns, although not cheap, look 100x better. Hell, so do the Genesis interiors.

If I had the money…what an exhaust! AMG engines are a beast and I’m sure they used the AMG performance exhausts.

Hi Sofyan! I'd looove for you to do a video on price gouging and dealer mark-ups. Most of the cars today regular people cannot afford anymore. Thanks!
First
That just isnt a 200k interior anyway you cut it. Might be handcrafted but it just aint all the impressive. Those nasty plastic window controls are unacceptable. Need to be made outta striaght metal.
I can’t unsee that it looks like a Ford Fusion SUV 😂
Ford Evos for the Chinese market - though the Aston is quite a bit more aggressive looking.

I like the way Aston gave props to the 2007 ES 350 with the shape of the center stack. 15:37
I like watching videos by Redline Reviews :)
Dream ride, I don’t know what would be better than this. Sports car performance with comfort of SUV. Perfect ride height and fast 697 hp
I’m here to watch Sofyan lose his mind when he drives vehicles like this.
Totally unrelated to the car review, but your engagement / wedding ring that we saw when you tested the horn is beautiful Sofyan!
Yes the ultimate aston martin to buy, i condone myself, it's been a while since I watched this channel, glad I'm watching it, let alone a suv this is fast for any car, up ahead on the other road it would do even beter
Looks like something I would see in GTA
A Tesla Model X is NOT a competitor to this or any luxury SUV.... This truck is beautiful inside and out...
if you can afford it this is the sexiest SUV on the market. Anything else would be settling for less. If you got it spend it, I can only dream.
When life gives you 🍋 lemons!!!! But the DBX 707 interior has yellow accents really nice
For that money, it dang well better sound that good. I'm as impressed with a turbo 4-banger as the next guy, but there ought to be a brute sound to match the brute force. I know EVs don't make all that noise, and indeed they're quite a force, but internal combustion will always be a more impressive machine.
so a "British" SUV with a German engine and the front end reminds me of a ford escape.
Ford actually took design elements from Aston Martin, who pioneered that front grill design, which they used on the Escape and Fusion.
@@bparker8195 ahhh ok that makes total sense now.
The grill looks like the average Brits mouth.
Lol really? I assume you never saw one in person! There is no mistaken an Aston. In person it is an amazing looking car that is by far the funnest to drive!
My 7 Series BMW has a touch screen. I never touch it. So the lack of that in this SUV really isn't an issue.
Aston Martin has truly created an icon!🌟🌟
I’d rather have this than the lamborghini urus ❤🔥
The active exhaust with pops that engine starts, all AMG has it…
Holy Crap that Launch Control that punches you in the back of the seat. 😂😂😂😂 22:40 also thankfully aston martin dbx 707 add launch control new for 2023
Looks like a ton of fun!
Would of been cool if they put the v12 from the DBS superleggera in it
Facts
That thing has some huge tires and it sounds awesome
The Subaru model has some of the features externally!
That sound is amazing
I wish I’d ordered mine in this colour now!!😢
As far as the door closing and the "THUNK" , think of it as a more British refined piece of hardware, subtle distinguished, reserve and slightly apologetic while still maintaining sophistication :)
did i just heard floormats for 2000 dollars???? need a raise
thats gotta be one of the classiest "beasts" i've ever seen
My favorite car 😍🔥
300k after tax, thats seriously not worth it
Did the aston martin reminds you of the hellcat or how powerful its pushes you back

Yes I see it, between the bumper and the hood also the fenders. Buyers probably too distracted by the horsepower 😅😅
can't believe this car is from 2023.
was this approved in 2012?
looks better than the Purosangue 🤷🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥
He looks like George Santos!
Wow, powerhouse but too much $$$$$$$$$. Sofyan please test out the new 2024 BMW X5
key fob looks like an electric shaver
Honestly, the front looks like the newer ford escape, and the Interior is boring to me but everyone has their own test. It makes impressive power tho
first aston martin i actually like
I wish I was rich. Thwt 2nd row is so roomy. Wow!! My dream suv aka hatchback
Nice...but with a ask of $240,000 to start...its a hard sell. Too many manual operations (seat fold down/up, doors open/close, etc..). Add a last gen infotainment and I can think of a few SUVs with more, for much less...
1/4 million dollars and the backseat occupants look at a temp gauge, nothing more. Tesla and BMW are giving you color touch entertainment screens back there...
I feel like Aston may have been the first to do a push button transmission? At least predominantly.
My favorite Vehicle
What were they thinking when they were designing those transmission buttons? Oh...they weren't thinking at all..fair enough
Price of a house and doesn't have android auto 😂
Would love to see a comparison between the Aston Martin 707 and the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat
The new Cayenne Turbo GT will destroy all of that 🤣🤣🤣
Yes to bonkers colour options.... _55 of them!_
AMG Engine with Aston Body
2k for floor mats how much for weather tech 😂
That rear end is so goofy.
A real Beauty
Can you try nio luxury car?
Unless Aston meant "most powerful luxury SUV ever", that title belongs to the now-defunct Jeep Trackhawk.
This vehicle has a lot of flaws. Particularly in the technology area. Which makes it hard to believe it costs 300k. So many more options for that kind of money that overshadows the DBX
Who misses that amazing Mercedes-AMG M177 4.0L V8? I know I do~
Nice car would pick it over the urus
Sofyan, it's time to review Urus Perfomante.....hrrrrrr
All that money and no touch screen nor Android auto. Smh these companies be getting over big time smh
No touchscreen in a car of this class and price point is unforgivable….really?
it looks like FORD FOCUS
It looks like a Hyundai in the front or is it Ford, but it's clearly an Aston Martin
I would rather get a cayenne turbo coupe, better suv
Did you drive the DBX? Even the regular DBX? If you did, you wouldn't say it as much as I love Porsche. It is a magic of a car.
@@ronse678 the new Cayenne Turbo GT will completely destroy this 🤣🤣🤣

What a beautiful Ford Esca....oh, sorry! No seriously, the MB/AMG-sourced powertrain is sublime and seems to do better here than MBs own SUVs.
Aston = all look.. no go.
The push button transmission location has to be a joke right? What a crap design
Aston has been doing it for 20 years with the Vantage being the 1st one to use it
Hear me out. I’d squat it and just get deeper rims with the same spokes
It's a hell of a time to live in when there are Kias and Hyundais with objectively prettier interiors than an Aston Martin lol.
The powertrain is nice however the look is not my cup of tea.
thats 2700 kilos... OMG that car is super heavy
looks more like a duck tail to me 🤓 drake feathers (male duck) tail feather
The interior looks like a toy car. Its straight out of 1990.
300k? I'll take an Emira instead for the same fun.
NO AA? DEAL BREAKER! They can charge $2,000 floor mats. I say WalMart $20 Mats and take a Cruise for 2 with the $1980 left over.
I’m probably in the minority, but I don’t want my luxury car sounding like a muscle car with loud pipes. Then the interior reminds me of how we used to trick out our cars, with loud seat covers, when I was 19
this is the sportier trim , people who gets the trim are searching for that so you would definitely probably be content with the base model
In this day and age be grateful things still sound like muscle cars
You need to win lottery to buy this, only for rich people 😢
Pretty much $500 per tire, omg
Looks like a lifted Ford fusion
what a ford escape on roids would look like
Ford Escape looks like!!
Niceee!!!
Looks like custom ford fiesta
This was awesome
Pretty underwhelming quality for how much this will cost
The grill is too big
Definitely red or brown interior would've pop. But who am i to talk 😂 i can't afford this shit
