Aston Martin consolidates its DBX lineup down to a single high-performance DBX707 variant, bringing a comprehensive interior overhaul in the process. The DBX707 benefits from a brand-new infotainment system, software tweaks to its chassis, and enhanced driving dynamics.
The Aston Martin DBX707 will carry over its exterior in most respects, having only debuted for the 2022 model year. The 2025 model will introduce a handful of new exterior colors, including Epsilon Black, Helios Bronze, Sprint Green, Malachite Green, Aura Blue, and Podium Blue. Power-operated door handles are now flush-fitting when locked, and 23-inch alloy wheels are optional (22-inch wheels are standard).
Buyers of high-performance luxury SUVs have high expectations when it comes to technology, which is why Aston Martin has focused on upgrading the DBX707’s interior. The highlight is the new infotainment system, which debuted on the DB12 and Vantage sports cars and features the latest in connectivity, including wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and multiple USB-C ports. The Mercedes-sourced unit it replaces has given way to a more modern 10.25-inch “Pure Black” touchscreen, complemented by a larger, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Beyond the new screens, the dashboard and center console have been redesigned, bringing the DBX707 more in line with the rest of Aston Martin’s lineup. The company claims to have decluttered the cabin by providing dedicated physical controls for the transmission selector, drive mode, climate controls, suspension, ESP, exhaust, and ADAS functions. Operation is further simplified thanks to a new toggle switch for the drive modes, replacing the previous array of buttons.
Aston Martin says that “every area of the interior has been upgraded,” with greater personalization options and new materials like Smoked Brushed Oak, Gloss Black Titan Mesh, Silver Tamo Ash wood, Piano Black, and carbon-fiber accents. Aston Martin’s own 14-speaker, 800-watt sound system is now standard, though it can be upgraded to a higher-end 23-speaker, 1,600-watt Bowers & Wilkins system.
Aston Martin’s decision to offer just one powertrain option with the DBX comes down to sales figures. Autocar reports that the DBX707 accounted for two-thirds of DBX sales in 2023 and 90 percent so far in 2024, effectively making the rest of the range redundant.
Under the hood, you’ll find a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 producing 697 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. With a top speed of 193 mph, the DBX707 remains one of the quickest production SUVs on sale, rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Lamborghini Urus, Maserati Levante Trofeo, and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
The chassis hardware carries over, including the adaptive air suspension and standard carbon-ceramic brakes, but Aston Martin engineers have retuned the electronic dampers and air springs for more precise body control.
Production and deliveries of the updated DBX707 will commence in the second quarter of 2024, with pricing to be announced closer to its market launch.
