Now this, to me, is one of the more tasteful looking high end SUVs from a traditional sports car manufacturer, and it's impressive to see that it can hold its own off road as well.

It is just amazing how capable performance cars are these days. No overheating, no lack of comfort, can go 250 kph on the autobahn as well as just drive around doing errants and towing stuff.

Amazing... will be worth 10% of its original purchase price in 10 years, and probably become a mechanical write-off shortly after that when something too expensive to be worth fixing breaks - then all those plastics etc will sit in landfills for the next fifty thousand years... amazing.

Great review as usual Harry. 100% of the controls on a touch screen is one of my Bete Noir's too. I drive lots of different cars regularly and once I had a car with the heating controls on the touch screen. It froze overnight to about minus 9 and the touch screen stopped working so I couldn't turn the heater on. After about 30 mins the ambient temp got up a bit and the touch screen started working again. The other, probably bigger, issue is that its inherently dangerous having to concentrate on the touch screen whilst driving.

I don't disagree that the giant all-in-one screens aren't a pain, but many cars have a workaround via voice control. Not something you'd want to learn in an unfamiliar car (especially at -9, either F or C), but it's better than no heat.

Of course SAAB introduced that wraparound lower door-edge design in the 70’s, and I’ve never understood why it was not immediately universally adopted. Brilliant!

Purosangue you can’t buy unless invited by Ferrari. Lot of competition now - Cayenne, Urus, Bentayga, Range Rover, Cullinan, Maserati, V8 Defender, G-Wagon. Matt Farah got one of these to 173mph on the Vegas strip.

I've seen a few of these. Two stand out: one had a wardrobe hanging out the back and another was towing a shabby looking trailer with logs.

@@horatiotimewaster5755 I mean "real world" in this context means - "what the average owner of this car might do" - and I think that's absolutely spot on, at least in the UK a lot of rich people have horses and they do tow them around, so "horse towing" is very high on the list of priorities when buying a car. I wouldn't call that as out of touch - just aimed at the target market of this car. It would be out of touch if Harry was saying how this car is great for going to asda to buy your weekly groceries.

Harry seems impressed and so am. As usual a very good review of what seems like the best SUV out there. Better than the Germans (Bentayga included), some proper driving feel in the steering, and more practical than the Purosangue. Pity about the laggy engine but you just can't have everything.

I’ve been in this actual car at Gaydon. I didn’t realise how expensive they were until I checked on Autotrader almost cost as much as my house! Beautiful looking SUV though would definitely be on my list if I had the cash.

The massive number of gears are mostly an attempt to reduce fuel consumption and therefore emissions - this is pretty much why we've seen automatics go from 4 to 6,7,8,9 and even 10 gears in the last 20 years.

@@antonoat Yup only so much efficiency to be gained with a guzzler for sure, but they have to try everything due to various penalty laws they face for not hitting targets. Often the case the top few gears are "overdrive" gears instead of in the old days where it was usually just the top gear (meaning the output RPM to the wheels exceeds the input speed from the engine) - my Lexus has an 8 speed box and I believe both 7 & 8 are overdrive.

Yes a Cayenne would also tow and offroad but this one is much more pretty and unique :) Getting tech from Mercedes was the right decision for Aston.

I want one!

I really really want Aston Martin to do well and this is clearly a very good car. I love that there are some extremely well thought out details and it certainly sounds like it is the best SUV on the market dynamically, but….with that outdated interior, I cannot conceive buying one of these over a Bentayga or top of the line Range Rover. The DB12 looks to be a big improvement on that front so hopefully those updates come to DBX soon.

SVR is an excellent choice for a fast, characterful SUV but ride might be too harsh for some, especially if used regularly as the family car. It's the excellent ride quality, together with the dynamics where the DBX really scores but at, admittedly, nearly 3x the price of the SVR..

Save this for April 1st, Harry.

No floor in the horse trailer! The Clydesdale was pushing!!!

Lovely car

Harry, I'd like to see the state of the horse once you've finished towing it.

Curious about something. We all know that the petrol engine in the GT63s had more than the supposed 640hp that was stated. According to dynos, that car had at least 700hp. It wouldn't be too far from a possibility that Aston just ordered that engine, and said the true hp was 707hp, implying that they made the engine more powerful... even if they didn't.

If I was a multimillionaire who owns a farm, I would use my +£200,000 luxury SUV to tow trailers and horseboxes around the farm too. Look, I know it's a loaner vehicle that Harry will return to the dealer. But in the meantime that he has the car around, Harry is a true baller 💪

Love to play spot the Daimler Benz badges on this car.

People confuse turbo lag with turbo boost threshold very often. Accelerating from 1500rpm and waiting for the turbos to spool doesn't mean the car is suffering from turbo lag. The turbos are just bigger and build boost later in the rev range. Different size turbos spool at different rpms and offer different power band, the moment the turbo starts to build boost is what is called threshold. Being in the boost threshold and then having delay in the performance is actual turbo lag. I didn't expect it from Harry who is a car guy not making a difference between the two.

I’ll take three. One Black, one White and one in Rainbow colours…. Do they do an electric version?

Get a Purosangue in Harry, along with a Urus, Levante, Bentayga, Cullinan and this DBX. Then race them across one of your fields towing a plough.

Interesting it does well offroad with low profile road tyres
