Fantastic review…these videos always make my day. 707 seems like a sweet package for a unique super-suv. Turbo GT takes the cake for me. I laughed when you said the outside tires didn’t have dirt on them with the negative camber, I love that
The way I calculate difference is for every 500 ps your bhp is 7 hp less. Meaning for 500 ps you have 493 bhp. It’s proportional all the way up and down. Thus 1000 ps is 14 bhp less (thus 986 bhp). And so on and so forth.
My biggest problem with VW groups NA offerings is that the lines that separate Audi, Porsche, and Lambo are increasingly blurred but VW stays noticeably "poverty speced".
Hey TST. Thx for this review. This 707 is a BEAST. Luv that its a single use platform. Full luxury. Luv it in FULL CF trim both Ext & Int. and w/ those black logos and name plates in dark trim too. Too bad it doesn't have massaging seats, a HUD & a pan roof that opens. I have a '22 X5 M Comp and am toying w/ the idea of trading it in on a 707. Thx again - high quality content & posting. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada Drive button far away - its b/c its made in Wales for the British people w/their RH drive. Did you notice where the hood/bonnet release lever is located inside?
I never thought Aston would make an all wheel drive vehicle. Not because they couldn't pull it off, I think because of their indentity as a brand it just never crossed my mind haha.
14:52 if you're going to use the paddles anyways, you likely don't need "Drive" (or neutral). Just pull a paddle (or both for neutral). That's how it works on my 10 year old Vantage.
I agree, however this is Astons mass market car so they need to make it function like one. Having to relearn those kinds of basic controls is a real turn off for most buyers. Would it have been cooler and more true to the brand? Absolutely. Good for sales? Almost definitely not.
@@xboy4331 I'm not sure that a $300k car can be considered "mass market". (pretty sure the "base" one still starts over $200k). And those buttons have been like that on all of their cars for decades. Ya, it's probably a longer reach in the DBX, but they were using the paddles so I figured I'd let them know there was another option.
@@LiqdPT sounds like I misunderstood your original comment. I thought you were saying Aston should do away with the drive and neutral buttons altogether and just use the paddles instead like with very early DCT's.
Always nice to have a good laugh at the start. Is basically the same as "hp"...so "Pferdestärken" (horsepower in german :D ) But nobody uses anything else than the abbreviation
Yeah the drive button being way over to the passenger's side makes no sense, until you see the right hand drive model and then you instantly realize why it's like that and face palm. Just like with the hood release they didn't bother re-configuring those buttons for left hand drive. So the order of the buttons is simply backwards in the left hand drive models. It's one of the baffling things about the DBX. Aston nailed it so great as far as looks, unique platform, power, handling, ect and than just blew it completely on some pretty basic and easy to get right things like lack of a HUD, circa 2014 infotainment, drive button on the wrong side for U.S. market, ect.
I've been loving the reviews of this car. For the it factor, I think the DBX itself has that over the Urus and Benteyga since I've only seen one DBX on the road wanna that was just this summer. And Aston has always made attractive cars (Id marry one it they were personified lol) and as you guys said, it's got that sports car aesthetic that Aston does so we'll. Just not a fan of the old AMG-Merc infotainment and dial that this gets.
instead of complaining being grateful until they lose everything and this unfortunately happens by complaining about their blessings and then they lose everything! And be Grateful for what you have helps a lot too 😅
At $250k, there should not be drawbacks > no touch screen, not the best speedo, hitting your head on the tail gate. At this price range, these are silly errors, to the point of being embarrassing. Not for a $50k car, but for a $250k car.
I dont think they'll drop that low in such a short time. They will probably stay a bit higher considering they will be limited compared to other vehicles and one of the last hoorahs in gas powered performance SUVS.
@bpaul1201awesome the current Vantage was 150k 4-3 years ago, now they're sitting close to 100k. Give it another same period and they'll be below 100k. The DBX will come down a lot in a decade.
Matt, great review but spending that kind of money on a SUV with a Sport button is crazy. I'd rather have a new Rover Sport SVR.and many, many bucks left in the bank.
I Test drove one of these with my mom along with the Urus, G63 AMG and a cullinan because she wanted to trade her GLE53 AMG in (she said the rear view visibility was that bad I do not agree ) and this was my favorite aswell. Not that my opinion matters of course they are rich not me hahaha.
@T A I'd be picking up every cheap car I could right now too if my HoA wouldn't try to kick me out. The Silverado is a single cab dually manual transmission lol.
@@alfamonk Cayenne GT is faster around VIR than M3. We’ll see what Aston can do, assuming they even send one. And if you want choice, it’s an AMG underneath so basically a rebodied GLE63 for 2x the money. Because nothing says British car like a German V-8.
AM is slowly correcting their horrible interior styling, but not quick enough. Their interiors 10 years ago were so much better, it's not even funny. They threw the car into reverse with their interiors.
I really hate these comparisons everyone is doing of ICE VS EV where you take a 700HP ICE car, compare it to a 1000HP EV and then make a comment that the 700HP one is slower. Of course it is. Why aren't we comparing apples to apples, HP to HP? All reviews do this, all Facebook comments, social media etc, like why would you NOT think the additional HP EV or not would NOT be faster with weight being near equal? That's my rant, nothing against the Vid, but when I hear even a subtle comparison it just drives me nuts. 3.1 seconds is bonkers, bat @#$ nuts for any car, yet alone this thing.
Why not just get a super sedan, wagon, or shooting brake? They carry just as many people and have exactly the same off road capabilities of these super SUVs-- absolutely none. At least they have a lower center of gravity and don't look like pigs.
Matt is a great example of someone I politically disagree with on just about every single topic, but still really enjoy his content. We need to get back to keeping your personal views personal.

22:16 the balls of that guy to drive a canyon in reverse
Damn just saw that. And he wasn't even doing it slow.
LOL
Movie makin secrets being shown lol
Lmaoooo
PS is pferdestärke which literally means Horse power in german. The difference is PS is 735 W while HP is745 W.
The way I calculate difference is for every 500 ps your bhp is 7 hp less. Meaning for 500 ps you have 493 bhp. It’s proportional all the way up and down. Thus 1000 ps is 14 bhp less (thus 986 bhp). And so on and so forth.
Wrong by the factor 1000 - the rest is accurate 😜
@@pipimontana who's wrong by 1000? One horsepower is less than one kW.
I saw that word and in my head it said pederast.
@@LilleyAdam what’s a pederast ??
I'd definitely prefer the DBX707 over the purosangue.
Such a great car!
You two have the best back roads to test drive on than any other RUclipsr. 🙂👍
But where’s the Z06 review?!? Yours is what we’re all waiting for!
The only you tuber who actually drives the cars. The most important part. Never stop!!
The 707 is sweet, i’d take it over urus. Aston has the class and quality, doesn’t feel like a VW.
My biggest problem with VW groups NA offerings is that the lines that separate Audi, Porsche, and Lambo are increasingly blurred but VW stays noticeably "poverty speced".
“It was probably 3.5 instead of 3.1” ..”omg who has that kind of time” lol

Makes me miss my old DB9. Aston Martins are special.
Which one do you have now?
@@karlin_oriley Cayenne turbo. Quite the change. Although I didn’t compromise on handling, lol, I completely did on looks. Haha.
fascinating review, luv the pops from DBX 707. Combination of comfort n relentless speed are phenomenal!
The Porsche Macan/Cayenne lines are strong with this one.

Of course, the ‘D’ drive button isn’t really furthest from reach - it’s just that you order Aston Martins with the steering wheel on the wrong side.
I bet if you put the manettino in sport plus, then hold a paddle and start, you'd get the emotion start. But it sound like it's broken.
So they made a more comfortable Cayenne Turbo GT. Impressive.
Beautiful watch, Matt!
"It looks like a bowl of buttons".......yeah, he broke it.

i commented on it when it was in the back of the last video.
Matt "I work out every day" Farrah looking like a fat easter bear in that getup.
Unfortunately for mat, eating less is the best way to lose weight. It's hard to out exercise a bad diet.
Great video what a beast of a car
It's so weird to me when Zach is driving and Matt tries to "dad" him by touching the gear selector and/or drive mode selector. it's SO weird
Nice color!
Best spec so far
600K in Australia… with no touch screen CarPlay - that would irk me… (otherwise it’s the least offensive SUV…)
That's insane
instead of complaining being grateful until they lose everything and this unfortunately happens by complaining about their blessings and then they lose everything! And be Grateful for what you have helps a lot too 😅
Love it dude was thinking about buying it when XRP reaches the moon 🌚
Good looking SUV!
I agree. The rear of that is the best suv rear end I've ever seen. That color really works well with black trim..nice contrast.
Hilarious to think of a $250,000 one car solution. The number of people who have this car alone you could count on Rick Allen's one hand.
Does it come with a walther ppk?
Mercedes MBUX should come 2023 spring on DBX as well. Aston finally woke up from long sleep.
Is that a defroster line in the center of the windshield?
and more golf club space then the Rapide ;3
Interior quality?
Always look at the B-pillar materials…
parallel stitching - impressive, congratulations 🍾
😂
What color does Aston Martin call this?
what roads are they driving?
Great video as always!
I assume the Drive select is agronomical for right hand drive lay outs. IE UK
I see this more of a GLC size?? GLC 63 for 1/4 of the price for me

This will be interesting in 3-4 years when they are $60K.

Is "Favorite Super-SUV" like least terrible form of cancer?
The best SUV is a vehicle that doesn't feel like an SUV
What’s the name of this canyon road?
If I was rich I would buy
Doesn't it look a bit too much like a Jaguar? Or do Jaguars look too much like Astons?
22:14 if your going to reverse like that please put your hazards on !!
good Suv, not worth over £200,000 though..

That wheel gap though
Better than Turbo GT? 🤔
9:10 They say almost as good as Turbo GT, I was also curious
See you in 8-10 DBX 707
The dbx is cool, but I’d much rather have an Acura MDX type S for a third of the price
Hardly in the same league, yet strangely I agree.
It...doesn't have a #ducktail , tho'. 🦆🙃
The Betterhelp sponsorship doesn't make much sense for this channel
Enter the Ferrari Purosangue stage right.
It's almost like car manufacturers want the last decade of fossil fuel powered vehicles to be the most embarrassing.
Don’t worry, the Camry the rest of us are driving is as normal and boring as ever.

Zach & Matt what’s up ?
The price of used cars.
@@TheSmokingTire People are saying used car prices are going to drop off. Boy are they in for a surprise
Good looking SUV but this thing will tank in value. Rather take an urus or turbo gt or G63
Drive is far away because the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.
PS means “Pferdestärke,” German for “horsepower.”
If you are going to buy a 958.2 Cayenne copy with Mercedes running gear why not just buy a Cayenne?
I wonder as well. What does the Cayenne lack in exactly?
@@Cloxxki “Britishness” that comes from directly carrying over Mercedes switchgear? Badge with a 30% premium over much faster and better Cayenne GT?
Not much faster and better, just different and that's why choice is a great thing
