Aston Martin’s new DBX707 – the world’s most powerful luxury SUV – has created a buzz in the Qatari market after its stellar launch earlier this year at the state-of-the-art Aston Martin showroom in Alfardan Towers, West Bay.
The DBX707 has every area mapped out to boost performance, intensify driving pleasure and amplify on-road presence. It comes with a unique combination of blistering performance, supreme dynamics, unmistakable style and absolute luxury.
Starting with the powertrain, DBX’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine now features ball bearing turbochargers and a bespoke engine calibration to liberate more power and torque.
Also new to Aston Martin’s flagship high performance SUV is a 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic transmission. Capable of managing much increased torque loadings compared with a regular torque converter automatic, this high-performance transmission allows output of the 4.0-litre V8 to be lifted to an immense 707PS and 900Nm, increases of 157PS and 200Nm over the DBX (V8).
Integral to the DBX707’s suite of performance enhancements is the standard fitment of Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Wheels and tyres are 22in as standard (in a choice of Sport and Ribbon designs), with an optional 23in alloy wheel offered in a choice of textured black or satin black with diamond turned highlights.
The adoption of a 23in wheel also brings dynamic benefits, with the larger diameter tyre offering improved steering response, better primary body control and improved lap times. Key to the DBX707’s exceptional handling is its air suspension system. It features a dedicated chassis tune optimised to its uncompromising demands and objectives.
In the spirit of placing the driver in control DBX707 introduces a revised lower console containing new drive mode selection switches. Now, rather than having to enter a sub-menu within the infotainment system, the driver has immediate fingertip control of key dynamic modes and setting.
In keeping with its extensive engineering upgrades the exterior and interior of the DBX707 have received an equally thorough design makeover. The result is spectacular – overtly sporting but with the style and attention to detail for which Aston Martin is rightly celebrated. Rear-end treatment is just as dramatic. Enhancing both aesthetic form and aerodynamic function a new lip spoiler has been added to the roof wing to reduce lift and increase high speed stability, with a significantly enlarged twin rear diffuser rising to meet the new large diameter quad exhaust system.
Finished in satin black to compliment the gloss black treatment of the diffuser this new exhaust has been tuned to deliver a unique sound signature. Completing the rear-end changes a new rear bumper complete with integrated quarter panel vents accentuate the DBX707’s muscular physique.
The sporting theme continues inside with sport seats fitted as standard (comfort seats are available as a no-cost option). All seat options come with 16-way electric adjustment plus heating in front and rear as standard. There are three choices of interior environments – standard-fit Accelerate, which features a mix of leather and Alcantara®, as well as the optional Inspire – Comfort and Inspire Sport, which features full Semi-Aniline leather complete with embroidered Aston Martin wings on the headrest, a contrast stripe down the centre of the seat and perforation pattern in the seat back and base cushion.
As on the exterior, the DBX707’s interior features a dark chrome finish to switchgear as standard. Bright chrome and carbon fibre can be specified as an option. Piano Black veneer is standard with carbon fibre or bronze metal mesh veneer finishes available as an option.
As the flagship model in the DBX range, the DBX707 has scooped a host of accolades. These include ‘Best Luxury SUV’ at the GQ Car Awards, Top Gear’s ‘Super SUV of the Year’ award and back-to-back wins in PR Arabia National Auto Award ‘Best Super Luxury SUV’ category.
Inside or out, the engineering team behind the SUV has transformed the DBX707 into something extraordinary, with a comprehensive suite of meticulous engineering solutions covering the engine, transmission, suspension and brakes. In a nutshell, it’s a complete re-boot of each and every dynamic system that has transformed DB707 into the fastest and most powerful luxury SUV on the planet.
