What do you think of the DBX now that you've adjusted to the design? What do you love? What would you change?

this looks like Aston stealing the Ford Escape design to make up for Ford making the Fusion grill. Ford and Aston may have divorced, but I can't look at this without seeing a Fusion grilled Escape/Mach E

I'm unashamedly into this thing. You just have to appreciate the attention to detail in the interior. I love how the digital tachometer has a trail of light that sweeps with the needle! It adds a sense of theater to what otherwise would have been an animated line moving up and down.

I agree with you, the DBX seems like it hits the nail on the head for a high spec road-going SUV much more than the Urus does. If this helps to keep AM alive and their balance sheet in the green, I am all for it! Side note... I'm likely buying an Aston Martin this weekend. I partially blame you and your great V8 Vantage drives! No hard feelings.

The DBX is just gorgeous in every way

What a beautiful looking Ford! Great video as always.

Kinda sorta binge watching your videos and while they're not greatly in depth (I have other channels for that) the entertainment value is there and the videos show how the cars are in real life AND driven by someone who knows how to drive. Definitely 1 of the better finds this year so you're doing something good! #respectthedrive actually became a thing...

Hell of a price point, could have almost 3 Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglios, a very similarly specc'd vehical for that. I figured price would be around 120-140 but 200? Wow.

Nice review to brighten up a chilly New England Wednesday!

Nice Spec and nice video! I also tested one with Hermes Interior pretty nice!

Sick vid man! 🔥

amazing video! congrats for the presentation of the car, you really take every single detail! interesting point is that aston martin keeps the reverse tachometer, even in digital, like in analog old ones astons. Negative points like you said the panel isnt touch, what is really very very weird in luxury brands and the gears buttons are quite weird too.

That was so satisfying when you just made the light at 11:27

Mazda CX-5 looking good. Didn't know those SkyActive motors made that kind of sound.

In love with this color!

I hope aston gets their foot in the door and is able to get some good growth out of cars like this, it's strange how the car market is always changing. Hold onto your classics!

Great detailed/balanced review. Let be the ‘double-tap’ on entry 😉! Some drive-bys would be nice in your future vids 🤞.

I would love if you put a small "what would I change" segment in every video like you did in this one.

Last year I was in the market for a new car. I was replacing a Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo that was about to go off warranty. My other car is an A-M Vantage, so I was of course interested in taking a look at the DBX. I was very impressed with it, especially because it represented A-M's very first foray into the SUV world. My conclusion was that if I was going to buy an SUV, this was the one. I agree with your conclusions regarding what a pleasant vehicle it is to drive. However, I've never been an SUV person, and just can't get over the feeling that I'm way up in the sky and will tip over in the next curve. I ended up with a Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo. Same car I had before, just with an extra 70 bhp. I still like the DBX, but I made the right choice for me. Price wasn't an issue, because both cars were very close in price. If I lived in snow country, as opposed to driving up to the snow from Southern California, I'd have gone with the DBX for the extra ground clearance.

So it’s tuneable 🥺😍

*I definitely have to rewatch your pov setup so I can start incorporating these into my channel* your footage looks super clean 👌

Great review! I have have driven hundred of miles in my dealers demo DBX and can totally agree with all the points you made. I often describe it to customers as the car you buy if you want to a fast luxury SUV but don’t want the flashiness of the Urus and more uniqueness than a cayenne turbo or an RSQ8, but want more agility than a Bentayga or a cullinan. As an SUV than can keep up with a 981 Cayman S and a modified S2000 in the twistys but crush highway miles when you need to, it’s amazing.

I promise you the weight restricts it from ever keeping up with a Cayman. As someone with a '21 E63S wagon (pretty capable for a sports sedan), I get demolished by all caymans and even Mini Cooper JCWs in the canyons. Im a pretty good driver, too

​@@james9905 Weight has almost nothing to do with it, as it can mostly be compensated by power and grip (notice how heavier and more powerful cars have much wider tyres?). What makes a difference is the center of gravity - how high it is, and how close to the center of the vehicle it is. An SUV has a high center of gravity - which you definitely don't want as it compromises agility. If we're talking tight, twisty, low speed corners, a lighter car will run rings around any heavyweight (agility, again, due to weight placement and center of gravity). But a higher speed canyon with long, sweeping corners? The tables turn...

this is just an F Pace tho that costs 3 times as much. Obviously its better in every way but the SVR is such a kool car that idk if the DBX is justified

Loving the new Ford Escape

i think they look great

2:18 The aerodynamic design probably also doesn't really help when you're driving slowly around town or backing up in to a parking space, but I guess that's where the rear camera comes in 😜

I have driven the DBX as well as the Urus and Bentayga and I have come to the conclusion the DBX is the one I would buy. It is the perfect mixture of the sporty driving experience of the Urus with the luxury of the Bentayga. If I were in the market for one of these super SUVs, I would go DBX, no doubt about it.

How much of the architecture is Aston and how much is borrowed from Mercedes? The comparison to Urus/RSQ8/cayenne isn’t as valid if this is just a rebadged GLC63

For the money, I'd get a barely used 2018 NA V12 Vanquish and another SUV. However, if you're in the market for super luxury SUV, this I think is best.

Can't understand some people, since when has Aston ever competed with Lambo? Even watching this video you can see the DBX is something special with incredible presence, great looks (unlike the Urus) and a really nice soundtrack. Thanks for taking us along.

I can’t lie I’m going to buy this thing used cause they’re dropping quick

I'm considering the DBX or the Cayenne? Which of the Cayennes would you prefer over the DBX? or is DBX the ultimate cool machine? TY

My ocd has me wanting this simply for the fact that I hate my suv with its constantly dirty trunk glass

Obviously I’m not taking feel and ambience into account because I’ve never been in one, but based on looks that interior is very dull. The stitching is the most interesting part. The center screen, the buttons under that and the whole scroll wheel set up look terrible. I had no idea they were still using the touch pad and wheel. I always thought that setup just looked like a mess.

dbx 707 🤤

Looks like a mix between a macan and a ford kuga

The yellow on the seats look like trans am decals

Can you not put it into gear by using the shift paddle?

I think the biggest issue is the price point. At 150k, I think they would sell boat loads of them. But at 200k, I would rather have my G63. I also own a Vantage and love AM. I hope they are super successful with this SUV because the brand rocks and they need a financial win!

sorry! I decided to just make it extra long instead

0-60 is ONLY 3.5 seconds not 3.1 like the competition💁🏼‍♂️😱😰 Oh help me I’m gonna faint😵 Interesting you kept coming back to the Urus since this strikes me as more British V8 Levante - still highly capable more about the experience/intangibles than raw specs.

So how do the piston strut doors work when popping to the shops and parking next to other cars? That is what the yellow stitching suggests - bought by a minor celeb to go shopping.... Body colour blue or even white but yellow? Not very Aston me thinks. Sounds like a modern sports car though.

When it comes to the infotainment of the newer Aston Martins with the AMG V8s, everything is basically lifted from Mercedes. However, due to their contract with Mercedes, they use the prior generation Mercedes infotainment. So since Mercedes has just started doing touch screens in the last year/two years or so, these new Aston's are stuck with the last gen touchpad/comand nob situation. So that's the reason why the infotainment seems kind of dated or not as intuitive as it would be with a touch screen.

Nice Ford Puma. Very important car for AM, be interesting to see if it has the effect to porsche that the Macan had

Am I alone in not being at all enthused about touchscreens in cars? My current car, a 2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta, has one (albeit only certain functions are done by touch - it still has a bunch of buttons) and I don't really like to use it while driving; I feel I have to take my eyes off the road for too long to be sure I'm tapping on the correct thing. Okay, as far as the DBX goes it would perhaps be nice if it was dual function - maybe enter a nav destination directly on the screen but still be able to use buttons and the scrolly thing. But I definitely prefer to have something I can feel with my fingers, or anchor my hand on. Not that I'm likely to ever even sit in a DBX but given how much space there is in the rear it would be nice if there was an option for two individual bolstered seats rather than the 3-across bench.

for the $, i'd take a Jag F-Pace P400. 1/3rd the cost and doesn't look like a Ford Escape
