In the world of luxury SUVs, few names carry the kind of gravitas that Aston Martin does. Known primarily for its sleek sports cars and James Bond association, Aston Martin surprised the automotive world when it launched the DBX—its first-ever SUV. But it didn’t stop there. Enter the Aston Martin DBX707, a high-performance version of the original DBX that redefines what a luxury SUV can be.
This is not just a family-friendly Aston Martin with more ground clearance. The DBX707 is a super-SUV. It’s a bold statement that combines brutal power, razor-sharp dynamics, and unmistakable British elegance.
The Heart of the Beast
At the core of the DBX707 is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine, sourced from Mercedes-AMG but tuned extensively by Aston Martin’s engineers. This isn’t the same powerplant found in the regular DBX. Thanks to new turbochargers, enhanced calibration, and a host of performance tweaks, the DBX707 produces a staggering 697 horsepower (707 PS) and 900 Nm of torque.
That makes it the most powerful luxury SUV in the world at the time of its release.
Mated to a nine-speed “wet clutch” automatic transmission, the DBX707 delivers lightning-fast shifts and improved response compared to the torque converter in the standard model. Power is distributed through an advanced all-wheel-drive system that can send up to 100% of torque to the rear axle when needed.
The result? A 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 3.1 seconds, putting it in the same performance territory as some high-end sports cars.
Design: Aggression Meets Elegance
The DBX707 wears its performance pedigree proudly. The exterior design tweaks aren’t just for show—they serve a purpose. A larger front grille improves cooling, new air intakes and carbon fiber accents give it an aggressive stance, and a rear diffuser housing quad-exhaust tips hints at the SUV’s fiery personality.
Despite its muscular upgrades, the DBX707 maintains the signature Aston Martin aesthetic—sculpted lines, elegant curves, and an unmistakably premium silhouette.
Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in luxury. Available in multiple interior themes, including sport and luxury-focused trims, the DBX707 offers an environment that blends handcrafted materials with cutting-edge technology. Expect premium leather, open-pore wood or carbon fiber trim, and a 12.3-inch digital driver display paired with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen.
Handling and Driving Experience
What truly sets the DBX707 apart is how it drives. Aston Martin went to great lengths to ensure this SUV offers sports car-like dynamics while maintaining the practicality and comfort expected of a luxury SUV.
The chassis has been reworked with retuned air suspension, revised damping, and a stiffer setup to handle the added power. The electronic power steering is sharper, more responsive, and connected. Despite its size and weight, the DBX707 feels remarkably agile, almost defying physics.
Whether you’re carving through mountain passes or cruising the highway, the DBX707 offers confidence and composure, with an exhaust note that growls under throttle and sings under pressure.
Practicality with Purpose
As powerful and performance-oriented as it is, the DBX707 doesn’t forget its SUV roots. It offers ample cargo space, five spacious seats, and a towing capacity of up to 2.7 tons. It’s practical enough for school runs or weekend getaways while still being the fastest SUV on the block.
A range of driver assistance features—including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a 360-degree camera—adds to everyday usability.
The Final Verdict
The Aston Martin DBX707 isn’t just a faster version of the DBX. It’s a complete reimagining of what an ultra-luxury SUV can be. It’s blisteringly fast, unapologetically bold, and still every inch an Aston Martin. For those who demand high performance without sacrificing comfort or prestige, the DBX707 may be the ultimate answer.
In a segment dominated by names like Lamborghini Urus and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, the DBX707 stands tall—not just for its horsepower, but for its soul.
