Aston Martin has revamped its sole SUV offering, undertaking an interior overhaul and streamlining the lineup to feature the DBX707 performance flagship. Alongside the introduction of an all-new infotainment system, the DBX707 benefits from refined chassis software calibration, thereby elevating its driving dynamics to new heights.

Beneath the hood, the DBX707 retains its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, delivering an output of 697 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. Power is channeled to the wheels through a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. With a top speed reaching 310 km/h, the DBX707 remains among the swiftest production SUVs, alongside notable counterparts like the Lamborghini Urus, the Maserati Levante Trofeo, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
While the chassis hardware remains unchanged, including the adaptive air suspension and standard carbon ceramic brakes, Aston Martin engineers have fine-tuned the electronic dampers and air springs, resulting in enhanced precision and control over the vehicle's body movements.
Introduced in 2022, the Aston Martin DBX707 requires minimal visual upgrades for the 2025 model year. Exterior revisions primarily involve the introduction of new exterior color options (Epsilon Black, Helios Yellow, Sprint Green, Malachite Green, Aura Green, and Podium Green), outward-powering door handles upon vehicle unlocking, updated mirrors with integrated cameras, and fresh finishes for the optional 23-inch forged alloy wheels.
Recognizing the heightened expectations of buyers in the realm of luxurious performance SUVs, Aston Martin has directed its focus towards updating the DBX707's interior technology. A notable highlight is the introduction of the new infotainment system, akin to that found in the DB12 and Vantage sports cars, boasting the latest connectivity features such as wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and multiple USB-C slots. Replacing the previous Mercedes-sourced system, a modern 10.25-inch "Pure Black" touchscreen display is now paired with an expanded 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Furthermore, the dashboard and center console have undergone a redesign, aligning the DBX707 more closely with the rest of the Aston Martin lineup. The inclusion of dedicated physical controls for gear selection, drive modes, climate functions, suspension, ESP, exhaust, and ADAS aims to simplify operation and minimize driver confusion. Notably, a new toggle switch for the drive modes replaces the previous array of buttons. Additionally, Aston Martin's 14-speaker audio system with 800 watts of power now comes as standard, with an optional upgrade to the premium 23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system boasting 1,600 watts.
Production and deliveries of the updated DBX707 are scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2024, with pricing details set to be announced closer to the market launch.
