Overview
The 2025 Aston Martin DBX midsize luxury performance SUV comes in only one variant in this, its fifth model year. It’s powered by a 697-hp/664-lb-ft twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter AMG-built V8 connected to a 9-speed automatic transmission and AWD, enabling it to hit 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph.
The 2025 DBX lineup drops the base trim and gets a newly redesigned interior with a restyled dashboard and updated infotainment. This is the ideal car for people looking for a handcrafted British 5-seater SUV with supercar performance.
What’s New for 2025?
The DBX loses its base trim and now comes only in 707-PS (697-hp) tune, but the biggest news is the overhauled interior with a redesigned dashboard and a new Pure Black 10.25-inch center touchscreen, updating the system for the modern era and removing the biggest criticism against the previous model. There’s also a new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, while the center console gains a crystal glass start/stop button, a rotary drive-mode selector, and a new toggle-type gear selector that replaces the old push-button system. The trim and materials are also updated.
The exterior remains mostly the same except for updated badging, pop-out door handles, frameless side mirrors, some new paint colors, and new available 23-inch wheel finishes in copper bronze and satin black. Chassis and suspension tweaks aim to improve ride and handling.
Lastly, a new limited-edition DBX707 AMR24 trim celebrates Aston Martin’s Formula 1 team and the brand’s involvement in the sport. This model carries the name of the AMR24 F1 car and is the official medical car of F1. It comes in Podium Green, Neutron White, or Onyx Black, with Lime Green or Trophy Silver accents, runs on black 23-inch Fortis wheels, and gets a special AMR24 engine plaque.
Exterior
In front, Aston Martin’s big signature grille features, and the DBX’s muscular stance and sculpted flanks communicate aggression and intent, helped by the double-vaned grille intakes, stern LED headlights, big brake-cooling ducts, and separate horizontal DRL strips. The roof drops away gently toward the back and terminates in that distinctive ducktail, with bumper side vents for heat dissipation and quad black exhaust outlets. A panoramic glass roof and rear spoiler are standard, as are carbon-ceramic brakes.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- 697-hp twin-turbo V8 with wet-clutch 9-speed delivers 3.1-second 0-60 acceleration and 193 mph top speed, placing the DBX707 among the fastest SUVs regardless of price
- The redesigned interior with new touchscreen, cluster, and crystal glass controls finally matches the exterior’s craftsmanship and fixes the previous one’s biggest weakness
- Towing capacity of up to 5,940 pounds and a practical 22.5 cu-ft cargo volume give the DBX707 genuine utility beyond its supercar performance credentials
Cons:
- Starting at $252K, the DBX707 is significantly more expensive than the Lamborghini Urus SE and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, both of which offer comparable performance
- Fuel economy of 17 MPG combined on premium is expected for the segment, but results in annual fuel costs exceeding $3,400
- The 3-year warranty with unlimited miles is shorter in duration than competitors like Porsche (4yr/50k) and does not include complimentary maintenance
Verdict
The 2025 DBX707’s new interior design transforms the package, and the new console and displays bring the cabin up to the same stunning standard as the exterior and powertrain. With 697 hp and a 3.1-second sprint to 60 mph, the DBX justifies its supercar-SUV billing, blending devastating performance with a superb ride/handling compromise that makes vast distances possible in comfort. Yes, it’s expensive, and options add a lot more to the price, but if you want an SUV that’s also a pure Aston Martin inside and out, the DBX delivers in spades.
