A few years ago, Aston Martin made a bold move by introducing an SUV to its lineup, joining the likes of luxury brands like Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Porsche. The DBX made a big splash with its sleek design, luxurious interior, and top-tier performance, quickly becoming Aston Martin’s best-seller. Now, as the competition in the luxury SUV market heats up, Aston is giving the DBX a serious refresh for the 2025 model year.

For 2025, Aston Martin has streamlined the DBX lineup, focusing solely on the range-topping DBX707. This beast packs nearly 700 horsepower and delivers sports car-level performance with a hefty price tag to match. Its main rivals include the Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, and Ferrari Purosangue. Talk about some serious competition!

What’s New for 2025?

The changes to the DBX’s exterior are subtle but effective. You’ve got new flush door handles, updated rearview mirrors, a fresh rear spoiler, and the latest Aston Martin badge, but don’t worry – it still looks unmistakably like an Aston Martin with its bold grille, iconic headlights, and vented hood. Under the surface, the steering, suspension, and exhaust have all been tweaked for an even better driving experience.

Inside, the 2025 DBX cabin gets a modern makeover. The dashboard now features a larger screen with Aston’s latest infotainment system, and the new steering wheel gives off a sportier vibe. The center console controls are easier to use and look better than ever, giving the whole interior a fresh and premium feel.

Sure, the DBX707 has a steep price, but for those who can afford it, this Aston Martin offers a truly thrilling experience that’s hard to beat.

Highlights

• Insane performance with nearly 700 horsepower.
• Stunning interior design with customizable options.
• An updated infotainment system for 2025.

Things to Keep in Mind

• It’s definitely on the pricey side, well out of reach for most buyers.
• Not the best when it comes to fuel efficiency.
• No wireless Android Auto, which is a bit of a letdown.

Verdict

If you want the luxury of an Aston Martin paired with the practicality of an SUV, the 2025 DBX707 is tough to beat. It brings sports car power, a high-end cabin, and top-tier performance – all with the versatility of an SUV.

Pricing and Trims

For 2025, the DBX comes in one flavor: the top-tier DBX707. With a starting price of $256,086 (including a $4,000 destination fee), it’s packed with high-end features and offers plenty of ways to customize. From semi-aniline leather and heated seats to a 12.3-inch digital driver display and 22-inch alloy wheels, it’s all part of the package. There’s even an 800-watt, 14-speaker audio system – or you can upgrade to a mind-blowing Bowers & Wilkins 23-speaker setup with 1,600 watts of power.

Want to express your personal style? You’ve got tons of options for exterior colors, grille finishes, wheels, and interior materials. This car is all about customization.

Engine and Performance

The heart of the DBX707 is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that cranks out 697 horsepower and 663 lb-ft of torque – more than you’ll find in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT or Lamborghini Urus Performante. All that power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission, with an all-wheel-drive system that can shift 100% of the power to the rear wheels when needed.

And yes, it’s fast. Aston Martin says the DBX707 can hit 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, and 100 mph in 7.4 seconds, with a top speed of 193 mph. After spending a day behind the wheel, we can confirm – this thing is a rocket. Full throttle launches you into the seat as the V8 roars to life, and passing on two-lane roads is a breeze. Just be careful – the speed builds up faster than you expect, but the brakes are strong and smooth, so slowing down is a non-issue.

Despite weighing nearly 5,000 pounds, the DBX707 handles like a much lighter car, even when tackling twisty roads. With adaptive air suspension and an electronic anti-roll system, it stays planted in corners and gives you excellent feedback through the steering. It honestly feels more like a sports car than an SUV, and the wide Pirelli P-Zero tires give it plenty of grip.

And when you’re not tearing up the road, the DBX is perfectly happy cruising through town or on the highway. The ride is a little firm, but the cabin is so comfortable that we wouldn’t hesitate to take it on a long road trip.

Fuel Economy

The EPA hasn’t released fuel economy numbers for the 2025 DBX707, but based on last year’s model, expect around 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. It’s no gas sipper, but honestly, if you’re shopping for an Aston Martin, fuel efficiency probably isn’t your top priority. During our test, we got about 13 mpg, which seems about right for a vehicle with this much power.

Interior and Comfort

The cabin of the 2025 DBX707 is just as luxurious as you’d expect. The new infotainment display is a welcome update, with easy-to-use physical buttons and dials for climate controls. The whole interior has a modern, sleek vibe, with updated vents, door handles, and a redesigned dashboard.

You can choose between Sport or Comfort front seats, and both options come with heating and ventilation. The seats are super supportive and comfortable, even for long drives. The customization options for the interior are nearly endless, with dozens of color choices for the seats, stitching, and even seatbelt colors.

We drove a DBX707 with Spicy Red leather and piano-black trim – a bold look that perfectly complemented the Supernova Red exterior. The front seats offered plenty of storage, including a roomy cubby under the armrest and an open shelf beneath the center console.

The rear seats are just as comfy, with enough space for two adults (three if you squeeze). Heated and ventilated rear seats are available, along with climate controls and USB ports for back-seat passengers.

Despite its sports car performance, the DBX offers decent utility, with 22.5 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more than you’ll get in a Lamborghini Urus or Bentley Bentayga. There are cargo tie-downs to keep things secure, and you can lower the vehicle for easier loading. The DBX can also tow up to 5,940 pounds, though that’s less than what the Urus can haul.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Aston Martin’s updated infotainment system is a big improvement for the 2025 model year. The 10.25-inch touchscreen takes a little getting used to, but once you figure out the shortcuts and big, easy-to-read tiles, it’s smooth sailing.

Apple CarPlay is wireless, but if you’re an Android user, you’ll still need a cable for Android Auto. We had a few hiccups with wireless CarPlay during our test, but once it connected, it worked perfectly.

As for the sound system, the standard 14-speaker setup is impressive enough, but the optional Bowers & Wilkins system is next-level. With 23 speakers and 1,600 watts of power, it delivers an incredible audio experience that’s hard to beat.

Safety

There’s no safety rating yet from the NHTSA or IIHS for the DBX, but it comes packed with standard safety features. You’ll get automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and more.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Aston Martin DBX707 is the perfect blend of luxury and performance. With nearly 700 horsepower, a gorgeous interior, and sports car-like handling, it’s one of the most exciting SUVs you can buy. Sure, it’s expensive, but for those who can afford it, the DBX707 delivers an unforgettable driving experience. Whether you’re tearing up the back roads or cruising the highway in style, this SUV does it all.
