Launched in 2022, the Aston Martin DBX707’s unique blend of immense performance, exceptional dynamics, unmatched style and true luxury saw it rapidly ascend to the pinnacle of the sector, as the true Supercar of SUV’s. Such is the overwhelming popularity of the multiple award-winning DBX707 that it now becomes the marque’s single powertrain in the British ultra-luxury performance brand’s SUV portfolio.
Comprehensive upgrades to the interior are central to the new DBX707, with the adoption of Aston Martin’s state-of-the-art in-house developed infotainment system and a striking new cabin architecture. This transformative enhancement showcases exemplary deployment of craft and innovation combining immaculate design and indulgent luxury with a formidable suite of connected car technology.
In
parallel to a comprehensive interior redesign, the DBX707 now receives
Aston Martin’s next-generation infotainment system. This entirely
bespoke, fully integrated multi-screen system features wireless Apple
Carplay and Android Auto plus multiple USB-C connections and full online
connectivity supported by the Aston Martin customer app.
Information
is displayed using best in class Pure Black touchscreen technology with
full capacitive single and multi-finger gesture control. The main
driver’s instrument cluster is a 12.3-inch screen - 1.5-inch larger than
those found in the DB12 and Vantage - with a second 10.25-inch central
infotainment display screen integrated into the new dashboard and centre
console.
Striking a perfect balance between touchscreen commands
and the positive tactility of physical switches, the DBX707 features
buttons for the key mechanical operations of gear selection, drive mode,
heating and ventilation, continuing Aston Martin’s philosophy of
creating the perfect blend between digital and analogue controls. There
are also control switches for suspension, ESP and exhaust, lane keep
assist and park distance control, ensuring the most used controls are
always conveniently to hand.
Complementing the integration of
Aston Martin’s next-generation infotainment system, the DBX707 also
showcases an all-new interior; the latest evolution of Aston Martin’s
bold new design debuted in the DB12 and Vantage. Exuding confidence and
quality, the clean, contemporary lines create a fabulous sense of space
and cohesion, with a striking horizontal design line bisecting the upper
and lower sections of the new dashboard.
This strong linear
theme serves to reduce the overall height of the interior, with
increased use of alternating chrome materials, contemporary veneers and
the simplified centre console amplify the sense of quality while
achieving a perfect balance of sports car feel and impressive modern
luxury.
Every area of the interior has been enhanced, from the
new steering wheel to redesigned D-pull door release handles and elegant
vertical air vents, both of which are now matched to bright chrome or
dark chrome interior jewellery. New front door veneer panels are larger
and available in a variety of new materials, including gloss smoked oak,
gloss titanium mesh and updated ziricote wood, piano black and carbon
fibre veneers.
There are three different interior trim
specifications, each with its own signature detailing; Inspire Comfort
features matrix embroidery and quilting; Inspire Sport has vector
embroidery and Accelerate with Alcantara for an extra element of
sportiness. Additional detailing comes in the form of micro piping and
sateen embroidery. And, of course, there is extensive scope for further
personalisation via Aston Martin’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin.
The DBX707 is now fitted as standard with the Aston Martin Premium Audio 800W 14 speaker audio system. Developed utilising advanced hardware, this system features a surround sound mode with QuantumLogic surround sound processing for a totally immersive soundscape.
However, true audiophiles will delight in the optional system developed with Aston Martin’s audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. Acoustically engineered to the DBX707’s interior volume and shape, this exceptional system uses technologies and innovations found in Bowers & Wilkins acclaimed world-class loudspeakers. Aluminium Double Dome tweeters and Continuum midrange speakers give this 23-speaker, double amplified 1,600W surround sound system a balanced and accurate sound. Dedicated 3D headline speakers, bass speakers and a powerful subwoofer deliver a powerful and dynamic sound experience, reflecting the characteristics of the DBX707 itself.
The DBX707, the latest in the core model line-up to behold the new Aston Martin Wings, also introduces a number of detail changes to the exterior. Foremost amongst these are five new paint colours; Epsilon Black, Helios Yellow, Sprint Green, Malachite Green, and Aura Green – plus the addition of Podium Green, first exclusively available on the DBX707 AMR23 Edition. Furthermore, there are two new wheel finishes; Satin Black on the 23-inch Fortis wheel and Copper Bronze on the 23-inch Forged wheel. Design of the 22-inch Sport, 23-inch Fortis and 23-inch Forged rims remain unchanged, with Silver, Gloss Black, Textured Black, Satin Black and Satin Black Diamond Turned finishes also available on selected wheels.
Other visible changes include new ‘presenting’ door handles, which power outwards when the car is unlocked, and new flush glass swivel-head door mirrors. Driven by the adoption of a more sophisticated Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), the new mirror design features improved fully integrated cameras to support the 3D parking camera functionality.
Unlike the old design, in which the adjustable mirror moved within the fixed outer shell, the new solution sees the whole mirror and shell assembly swivel as-one to provide adjustment. In addition to providing better camera packaging the flush-fit edge-to-edge mirror design maximises the size of the reflective surface for a greater field of view.
Underpinning this extensive suite of changes is the formidable hardware package for which the DBX707 is renowned. Star of the show is the 707PS/900Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 and 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic gearbox. Mated to a sophisticated all-wheel drive system capable of sending up to 100% of the torque to the rear axle on demand, the DBX707 can launch from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 193 mph. With braking power delivered by 420mm front and 390mm rear Carbon Ceramic brakes the DBX707 sits on 22-inch wheels as standard, with a choice of cast or forged 23-inch alloy wheels available as options.
Aston Martin engineers have further honed the DBX707’s class-leading dynamics, the quest for continual improvement resulting in a new calibration for the electronic dampers and air springs. Implemented to increase transient body control, the resulting improvement in response, precision and driver confidence extends the DBX707’s dynamic superiority in its Supercar of SUV’s class.
Production of the new DBX707 is due to commence in Q2 of 2024, with first deliveries scheduled to begin in Q2.
