Aston Martin expanded their performance portfolio in 2022 to include a high-speed SUV, the DBX707. And for 2025, this special agent is getting retailored for its mission to deliver fast fun and extraordinary luxury.

The exterior sees re-chiseled fascias front and rear, joined by the new badging, mirrors and motorized door handles; underscored by new 22-inch wheels, sheathing carbon ceramic brakes with more bite than Jaws’ steel teeth.

But the biggest shift is inside, pun intended. The once dash-mounted shift buttons are now controlled by a proper selector residing on the console. The infotainment screen is of an in-house design, seen on other recent Astons and well-integrated in the DBX.

Thoughtfully executed is the AMG-sourced twin-turbo V8, using 4.0-liters of combustion to deliver 697 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque. Another Mercedes component, the nine-speed wet-clutch automatic disperses all that energy; the all-wheel-drive layout is rear-biased, the center diff kicking in for front torque delivery.

That means 3.1-second 0-to-60 launches and a 190-mph top speed. Paired with standard adaptive dampers and height-adjustable air springs keep the 707 planted and driver confidence high. A First Drive in Sonoma, California, confirmed as much.

DAVE SCRIVENER: “The DBX707 is a phenomenal performance car that happens to be an SUV, without the usual SUV tradeoffs of feeling heavy or awkward when you push it.

Whether carving through switchbacks or cruising the Pacific Coast Highway, the DBX is always composed and responsive. The adaptive suspension is tight when you need it to be, but doesn’t force you to endure a stiff ride all the time.”

Starting near a quarter of a million dollars, the 2025 Aston Martin DBX707 is an exclusive sport utility performer. Whether it’s a night on the town or an adrenaline-fueled escape from cronies in blacked-out sedans, the DBX707 is a premier choice.
