ENGINE
The most powerful on the planet
DBX S packs more surging power and turbocharged performance than ever before. Engineered by Aston Martin, the upgraded 4.0-Liter Twin-Turbo V8 now produces 717 HP making it the most powerful SUV in the world using only an internal combustion engine. The exhaust has been specially tailored to the new turbochargers, reducing back pressure and giving even more voice to the thunderous V8. Combined with lightweight options that produce the greatest power-to-weight ratio in the category, it firmly establishes DBX S at the apex of ultra-luxury SUV power and performance.
HANDLING AND STEERING
One SUV. Five thrilling modes
A rotary switch on the center console lets the driver access the five configured drive modes. The DBX S gearbox has been further modified to provide an even more memorable driving experience with enhanced abilities across all modes. Change-up points are adjusted to reflect the car’s extended rev range while downshifts in Sport and Sport+ modes when the car is in automatic are even more aggressive. Select “Terrain” for off-road, “GT” to maximize touring comfort, “Sport” mode for responsive road driving, or “Individual” to select personal preferences across suspension, steering, and exhaust.
DYNAMICS, SUSPENSION, AND STIFFNESS
Racetrack reactivity
DBX S combines increased power with set-up changes to further enhance its ceiling-shattering performance. Programmable ESP enables greater driver expression. Finely calibrated electronic dampers and air springs firm up body control. Precision is peaked, reactions quicken to race levels, a shortened final drive offers extra in-gear punch to place you at the epicenter of the car, and the core of the driver experience.
TRANSMISSION AND POWERTRAIN
Pure powertrain punch
The DNA of F1®-derived technology, coursing freely and emphatically within the dimensions of an SUV. Equipped with a nine-speed “wet-clutch” automatic gearbox. 30% faster gear changes compared to a traditional automatic clutch, more torque than a typical torque converter, multi-plated, oil-cooled, and a fast-as-lightning off-the-line speed via Launch Control. The power to feed 100% of available torque, from foot, to powertrain, to road surface. DBX S is designed to deliver the racing agility, power, and feel of a supercar.
BRAKES
Physics-defying braking
The largest brakes ever fitted to a production Aston Martin SUV bring it from a heart-pumping top speed of 193 mph to a heart-stopping halt. Managing heat that could warp steel, near inexhaustible braking performance provided by carbon ceramic disc brakes at each corner. 17″ at the front, 15″ at the rear. Confidence-boosting brakes with a reduction in unsprung mass for greater agility and improved steering feel. Creating a sense of assertive driving that is perfectly captured with optional 23″ magnesium wheels, the only ones available in the sector.
Roof
The new optional carbon roof has a single weave pattern to add a more performance-focused aesthetic to both the exterior and interior of the DBX S. It replaces the standard glass-panel roof with a 40.9 square-foot carbon-fiber option, making it the largest all-carbon roof ever to adorn an Aston Martin. Specification of the carbon roof offers a further 40 lb of unsprung mass, from the very highest point of the car, reducing its center of gravity and further enhancing both stability and agility.
Aerodynamics
A rear diffuser pulls low pressure underneath the SUV while drag reduction comes from the rear wing’s sculpted management of airflow. Brake cooling ducts channel air onto the vast carbon ceramic discs to provide massive braking performance. Time after time.
Grill
The optional gloss black honeycomb grille creates a formidable look that delivers a clear message of unmistakable identity and powerful intent. It is intricately designed with over 25,000 individual facets that help shift weight distribution rearward, further aiding handling and traction capabilities. DBX S also offers a dark, double-vaned, all-metal grille as standard. Whatever the preference, form merges with function to take in the huge amounts of air needed to cool the epic powertrain while radiating classic Aston Martin elegance and attitude.
Wheels
DBX S heralds the first-ever lightweight 23″ magnesium wheels in the luxury SUV segment. Taking influence from the forthcoming mid-engine Valhalla supercar, they deliver a fitting visual aesthetic to the astounding S performance. They also liberate up to 42 lb of unsprung mass, delivering improvements in ride quality, steering precision, and feel, as well the SUV’s immediate reaction to directional input. Exclusively available for Aston Martin, these magnesium wheels are the largest ever fitted to an SUV and available in 23″ satin black and satin titanium gray. DBX S is also available with 23″ forged aluminum wheels as standard in a suite of styles and finishes.
Side strake and sills
New side sills with upturned winglet profiles help channel air along the side of the car while adding further presence to the DBX S profile. The iconic side strake is woven into a new visual language signed off with the unique solid metal S badge. Self-presenting door handles power outward when the SUV is unlocked. Flush-glass swivel-head door mirrors further finesse both flanks without impacting aesthetics. Attached to the mirror design are fully integrated cameras to support a 3D camera system that offers infinitely viewable 3D modeling of the SUV with associated views.
Cooling splitters
The unique lower splitter inner and outer design bestows visual width to the formidable face of DBX S. Unique outer bumper aero planes around the cooling intakes add further presence. An aggressive front splitter supercharges its sporty character. Optional pinstriping available on carbon or standard gloss black draws the eye across the assertive visual and aerodynamic characteristics.
Interior
