The Aston Martin DBX S redefines the luxury performance SUV segment, taking the benchmark set by the DBX707 and pushing it even further. At its heart is an enhanced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, delivering an astounding 727PS and 900Nm of torque—thanks in part to turbocharging technology borrowed from the upcoming Valhalla supercar. This results in breathtaking performance figures, including a 0-62mph sprint in just 3.3 seconds, while a modified exhaust system amplifies its already thrilling soundtrack. Complementing its added power is a significantly reduced weight of up to 47kg through the use of magnesium wheels, a carbon fibre roof, and polycarbonate grille options—measures that not only lighten the vehicle but also enhance agility and handling dynamics.
Aston Martin’s commitment to class-leading dynamics is further reinforced with sharper steering, advanced suspension tuning, and electronic roll control that keeps body roll to a mere 1.5 degrees, rivaling dedicated sports cars. The DBX S retains the 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ gearbox, now with sharper and faster shift logic, offering more aggressive downshifts and extended rev capability in sportier driving modes. The adoption of carbon ceramic brakes (420mm front, 390mm rear) ensures that the stopping power is just as extreme as the acceleration. All of this is tied together with a suspension setup that intelligently adjusts damping and roll stiffness to deliver supreme comfort and cornering confidence.

Visually, the DBX S asserts its flagship status with an aggressive new design that includes a bold black vaned grille, vertical quad exhaust tips, and reprofiled bumpers and diffusers. Side profiles reveal functional aerodynamic enhancements like carbon fibre wing mirrors and air-splitting side sills, while signature ‘S’ badging and optional three-tone lower liveries elevate its road presence. The new carbon fibre options are not only aesthetic upgrades but also part of the vehicle’s weight-saving strategy, contributing to both its performance and distinctive style.
Inside, the DBX S features a bespoke ‘S’ interior theme marked by dynamic herringbone stitching and extensive use of lightweight Alcantara, with options for full semi-aniline leather. Embossed ‘S’ branding on seats and metal treadplates add to the special-edition flair, while the dashboard integrates Aston Martin’s all-new infotainment system and driver interface. The cabin is further elevated by an optional 1,600W Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, custom-tuned for the DBX S interior for an immersive acoustic experience befitting its high-performance character.
Continuing Aston Martin’s tradition of high-performance ‘S’ models, dating back to the DB3S of 1953, the DBX S represents a bold step forward in SUV evolution. It perfectly blends brutal performance, design sophistication, and luxury craftsmanship, all wrapped in a distinctive and exhilarating package. Now available to order with deliveries starting Q4 2025, the DBX S not only reaffirms Aston Martin’s engineering excellence but also signals the brand’s continued ambition in the ultra-luxury SUV space.
