Aston Martin DBX 707: My Favorite Super-SUV & the Best Aston on Sale - Two Takes

You might be thinking, "It's just a facelift and a little more power," but Aston Martin's super-ist of Super SUV's is much, much more than that. Yes, there is more power: seven hundred of them, and 663 lb/ft. It's also got an entirely new transmission, sourced from AMG's hottest performing variants, active swaybars and anti-roll control, and monstrous ceramic brakes. It's got better cooling, more aerodynamic bodywork, and better seats. But my favorite thing about the DBX707 is how the whole package delivers on an ultra-premium driving experience that is still unique to Aston Martin.
Aston Martin provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

    Fantastic review…these videos always make my day. 707 seems like a sweet package for a unique super-suv. Turbo GT takes the cake for me. I laughed when you said the outside tires didn’t have dirt on them with the negative camber, I love that

    The way I calculate difference is for every 500 ps your bhp is 7 hp less. Meaning for 500 ps you have 493 bhp. It’s proportional all the way up and down. Thus 1000 ps is 14 bhp less (thus 986 bhp). And so on and so forth.

Luv it in FULL CF trim both Ext & Int. and w/ those black logos and name plates in dark trim too. Too bad it doesn't have massaging seats, a HUD & a pan roof that opens. I have a '22 X5 M Comp and am toying w/ the idea of trading it in on a 707. Thx again - high quality content & posting. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada Drive button far away - its b/c its made in Wales for the British people w/their RH drive. Did you notice where the hood/bonnet release lever is located inside?

    I've been loving the reviews of this car. For the it factor, I think the DBX itself has that over the Urus and Benteyga since I've only seen one DBX on the road wanna that was just this summer. And Aston has always made attractive cars (Id marry one it they were personified lol) and as you guys said, it's got that sports car aesthetic that Aston does so we'll. Just not a fan of the old AMG-Merc infotainment and dial that this gets.

    Yeah the drive button being way over to the passenger's side makes no sense, until you see the right hand drive model and then you instantly realize why it's like that and face palm. Just like with the hood release they didn't bother re-configuring those buttons for left hand drive. So the order of the buttons is simply backwards in the left hand drive models. It's one of the baffling things about the DBX. Aston nailed it so great as far as looks, unique platform, power, handling, ect and than just blew it completely on some pretty basic and easy to get right things like lack of a HUD, circa 2014 infotainment, drive button on the wrong side for U.S. market, ect.

Why aren't we comparing apples to apples, HP to HP? All reviews do this, all Facebook comments, social media etc, like why would you NOT think the additional HP EV or not would NOT be faster with weight being near equal? That's my rant, nothing against the Vid, but when I hear even a subtle comparison it just drives me nuts. 3.1 seconds is bonkers, bat @#$ nuts for any car, yet alone this thing.
