Extraordinary Power Meets SUV Versatility
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.
Lightweight Technology
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.
Distinctive Design
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.
Engineered for Dynamism
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.
