The DBX S harnesses raw, visceral power through its enhanced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. With a formidable 727PS and 900Nm of torque available from just 3,000rpm, this flagship SUV delivers breath taking acceleration from 0-62mph in just 3.3 seconds and reaches an impressive top speed of 193mph. The powertrain incorporates advanced turbo technology transferred directly from the forthcoming Valhalla supercar, ensuring relentless performance throughout the rev range with particular urgency at higher speeds.
With ground breaking lightweight innovations, the DBX S redefines performance SUV dynamics. The optional carbon fibre roof spans almost three metres square – the largest carbon element ever fitted to an Aston Martin – reducing weight by 18kg at the vehicle’s highest point and significantly lowering the centre of gravity. Industry-first optional magnesium wheels cut unsprung mass by a further 19kg, enhancing handling precision and ride quality. These innovations, combined with other lightweight components, can reduce overall weight by up to 47kg compared to the DBX707, creating an SUV that handles with the agility of a dedicated sports car.
The DBX S announces its flagship status with bold, assertive styling. Its dramatic pure black vaned grille (with optional lightweight honeycomb design featuring over 25,000 individual facets) creates immediate road presence. Sculpted side sills with upturned air splitters channel airflow efficiently, while the completely transformed rear showcases vertical stacked quad exhausts in chrome black. Inside, the distinctive ‘S’ interior theme features a unique herringbone pattern on the seats that widens upward to create a sense of speed and movement. Premium Alcantara trim comes standard, with options for semi-aniline leather, while the exclusive ‘S’ badging and embroidery throughout the cabin reinforce its special status in the Aston Martin line-up.
With precision-tuned dynamics, the DBX S delivers an exhilarating driving experience without compromising SUV practicality. The electronic roll control system maintains body roll at just 1.5 degrees even at the limit – keeping the car flatter than many purpose-built sports cars. A faster steering ratio improves agility while reducing the turning circle by almost half a meter to enhance urban manoeuvrability. The sophisticated air suspension features revised calibration for both springs and electronic dampers, increasing transient body control for improved ride quality and stability. Massive carbon ceramic disc brakes (420mm front, 390mm rear) provide inexhaustible stopping power for confident high-performance driving.
DBX S packs more surging power and turbocharged performance than ever before. Engineered by Aston Martin, the upgraded 4.0-Litre Twin-Turbo V8 now produces 727PS and 900NM of torque making it the most powerful SUV in the world using only an internal combustion engine.
The exhaust has been specially tailored to the new turbochargers, reducing back pressure and giving even more voice to the thunderous V8. Combined with lightweight options that produce the greatest power-to-weight ratio in the category, it firmly establishes DBX S at the apex of ultra-luxury SUV power and performance.
The DNA of F1®-derived technology coursing freely and emphatically within the dimensions of an SUV. Equipped with a 9-speed ‘wet-clutch’ automatic gearbox. 30% faster gear changes compared to a traditional automatic clutch. More torque than a typical torque converter.
The DBX S gearbox has been further modified to provide enhanced abilities across all modes. Change-up points are adjusted to reflect the car’s extended rev range, while downshifts in Sport and Sport+ modes when the car is in automatic are even more aggressive. Select ‘Terrain’ for off-road. ‘GT’ to maximise touring comfort. ‘Sport’ mode for responsive road driving and ‘Individual’ to select personal preferences across suspension, steering and exhaust.
Aston Martin has once again drawn inspiration from the portfolio of Sports and Supercars with the all-new use of Alcantara®, which is synonymous with true sporting prowess and now appointed across many new panels. This lightweight material is embellished with other innovative new materials and precision craft techniques. Performance Herringbone perforation stitching. Sculpted leather headrests with sub-millimetre precision. Signature S embroidery branding to both front seats. Levels of obsessive next-level craftsmanship that take a lifetime to perfect. And a split-second to appreciate.
The DBX S interior displays a new bespoke ‘S’ theme throughout the cabin. This includes the highly distinctive herringbone design which comes as standard on the seats. Herringbone lines become increasingly wider as they progress up the seat back, giving an unmistakable and compelling impression of speed. One fitting for the highest performing SUV on the planet. If the optional single-weave carbon roof is selected the design also extends across the headlining of the cabin’s interior roof.
The DBX S cabin is crafted with complete control. Ergonomically designed. Simplicity and seamlessness as one. Turbocharged by wireless charging. Kindled with the new universal intelligence of the Aston Martin app.
