Aston Martin has just unveiled the DBX S, a flagship variant of its popular DBX SUV that\u2019s turning heads with its impressive power and performance. With a staggering 717bhp, this model claims the title of the most powerful non-electrified SUV currently available. If you\u2019re a fan of luxury SUVs that pack a punch, you\u2019ll want to know what makes the DBX S stand out in a crowded market.<\/p>\n

What Makes the DBX S Unique?<\/p>\n

The DBX S isn\u2019t just another SUV; it\u2019s a statement of intent from Aston Martin. CEO Adrian Hallmark emphasizes that this model signals a commitment to producing lighter and more powerful vehicles in the future. This is the first time the S badge, synonymous with high performance, has been applied to their best-selling SUV, and it\u2019s clear that Aston Martin is serious about blending luxury with raw power.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, the DBX S retains the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine as the DBX 707 but with significant enhancements. The engine has been reworked with larger compressor wheels borrowed from the Valhalla, providing a more exhilarating driving experience. While the 0-62mph time remains at a swift 3.3 seconds, Aston Martin claims that the 0-124mph acceleration has improved by 0.3 seconds. That\u2019s a noticeable difference for those who crave speed.<\/p>\n

How Does It Compare to Rivals?<\/p>\n

When it comes to competition, the DBX S is not alone. It boasts 2bhp more than the Ferrari Purosangue, which features a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine. However, it still trails behind electrified rivals like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid and the Lamborghini Urus SE, which offer even higher power outputs. This highlights an interesting trend in the SUV market: while traditional combustion engines still hold their ground, electrification is becoming increasingly dominant.<\/p>\n

What Enhancements Have Been Made?<\/p>\n

Aston Martin has made significant strides in reducing the weight of the DBX S, shedding up to 47kg compared to the 707 model. This weight reduction is achieved through various means, including an optional carbon fiber roof that not only saves weight but also lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity. Additionally, the introduction of 23-inch magnesium wheels, which are 19kg lighter than the standard aluminum options, further enhances performance and handling.<\/p>\n

Styling-wise, the DBX S has received a fresh look. A new black grille design, inspired by the DBS 770 Ultimate, along with a redesigned splitter, diffuser, and side sills, contribute to its sporty aesthetic. The rear features vertically stacked quad exhausts and a reworked bumper, making it visually striking from every angle.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Inside the DBX S?<\/p>\n

Step inside, and you\u2019ll find a cabin that reflects Aston Martin’s commitment to luxury. The bespoke S design includes a herringbone pattern on the seats, with options for carbon fiber roofs extending this pattern to the headlining. Alcantara upholstery comes standard, while semi-aniline leather and red seatbelts are available as upgrades. For audiophiles, a 14-speaker audio system is standard, with an optional 23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins setup for those who want to elevate their driving experience even further.<\/p>\n

When Can You Get One?<\/p>\n

The DBX S is available for order now, with deliveries expected to start in the final quarter of 2025. While pricing details are still under wraps, it\u2019s anticipated to be a step up from the \u00a3205,000 price tag of the DBX 707, reflecting its enhanced features and performance.<\/p>\n

The big takeaway? The Aston Martin DBX S isn\u2019t just about raw power; it\u2019s about a refined driving experience that combines luxury with performance. If you\u2019re in the market for a high-end SUV that promises both speed and sophistication, keep an eye on this one. Start planning your test drive, and you might just find yourself behind the wheel of this remarkable machine before the year ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

New DBX is one of the most powerful pure-ICE SUVs on the market<\/p>\n

\n

Aston Martin has launched a faster and lighter flagship S variant of the DBX SUV<\/a>, cranking the power to 717bhp to make it the most powerful non-electrified SUV<\/a> on the market.<\/p>\n

Although the British company has used the S badge for a range of high-performance specials, starting with the Vanquish<\/a> S in 2004, this is the first time it has been applied to its best-selling SUV.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin<\/a> CEO Adrian Hallmark claimed the new model serves as \u201ca powerful\u00a0statement of intent\u201d, signalling that lighter, more powerful variants will remain a key part of the firm\u2019s future model plan.<\/p>\n

The new DBX S will sit above the current 697bhp DBX 707 – since April last year, the only variant offered in the UK. It retains the same 4.0-litre twinturbocharged V8 but it has been reworked, with larger compressor wheel diameters taken from the Valhalla<\/a>. Aston Martin has also tuned it to offer more \u201curgency\u201d at the top end of the rev counter.<\/p>\n

While that means the 0-62mph time remains at 3.3sec, Aston claims the 0-124mph acceleration time is cut by 0.3sec.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a new exhaust system has been fitted to make the V8 louder, the steering ratio is 4% faster and the turning circle has been trimmed by nearly half a metre.<\/p>\n

\"Aston<\/p>\n

The DBX S\u2019s 717bhp output makes it 2bhp more powerful than its\u00a0Ferrari Purosangue<\/a> rival \u2013 which draws power from a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 \u2013 but still leaves it short of rivals that use electrified powertrains, such as the 729bhp Porsche Cayenne<\/a> Turbo E-Hybrid and 789bhp Lamborghini Urus SE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The DBX S retains the 707\u2019s variable all-wheel drive system and nine-speed wet-clutch automatic gearbox, although Aston Martin says the change-up\u00a0points for the gearbox have been reworked to account for the wider rev range, and the downshifts in Sport and Sport+ modes are more aggressive.<\/p>\n

Aston Martin has also significantly reduced the weight of the DBX S by up to 47kg compared with the 2245kg 707. The slimming measures include a new optional carbonfibre roof, which forgoes roof rails and saves 18kg of mass as well as lowering the centre of gravity.<\/p>\n

There are also optional 23in magnesium wheels, which are 19kg\u00a0lighter than the standard aluminium versions, and an optional polycarbonate honeycomb grille.<\/p>\n

Beyond the weightsaving features, the DBX S gains a number of styling changes, including a new black grille design inspired by the DBS 770 Ultimate<\/a>, a new splitter and diffuser, and new side sills that help channel airflow around the side of the car.<\/p>\n

At the back, the quad exhausts have been vertically stacked, while the rear bumper has been extensively reworked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, there is a bespoke S design with a herringbone pattern on the seats and this is extended to the headlining if the carbonfibre roof is selected. Alcantara upholstery is standard, while semi-aniline leather and red seatbelts are optional.<\/p>\n

\"Aston<\/p>\n

A 14-speaker audio system is standard and a 23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins set-up is also offered.<\/p>\n

The DBX S is available to order now and deliveries are set to begin in the final quarter of 2025. Pricing has yet to be confirmed but it will be a step up from the \u00a3205,000 DBX 707.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62554,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-featured","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalvillagespace.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
