Used Aston Martin DBX cars for sale

If it weren't for Aston Martin's vast wealth of expertise in the realm of sports cars, the carmaker would have had problems with refining the handling and capability of its monstrous SUV. Thanks to years of industry knowledge, the marque successfully engineered the DBX to be quick and agile enough to take on twisty roads without a hitch. The DBX is equipped with several handling enhancement kits, including electronic adaptive suspension dampers, a triple-chamber air suspension and the 48-volt eARC anti-roll control system, which limits the body roll of the Aston Martin DBX.

The Aston Martin DBX offers 6 different selectable drive modes, starting with the entry-level GT drive mode. The other drive modes consist of Sport, Sport+, Individual, Terrain and Terrain+. The basic GT mode is suitable for daily commuting around the town and long countryside cruises. The Sport and Sport+ drive modes progressively lower the DBX's riding height by 0.59 inches. Terrain modes, on the other hand, increase the height by 0.98 and 1.77 inches, respectively. The top-end Terrain+ drive mode is geared for rugged mountainous driving or muddy terrain.

The DBX has plenty of legroom and headroom in the front. The driver gets several adjustment options for the seat and steering wheel, ensuring optimal comfort. As a 5-seater SUV, the back seats have plenty of room for 3 adults. Overall, it's very spacious and offers excellent headroom, even though it has a sloping roofline. However, passengers over 6-feet tall might find the middle seat in the rear to be slightly uncomfortable for long journeys.

With its 632 litres of boot space, the Aston Martin DBX is the most practical vehicle amongst its closest rivals. It's considerably more than the 484-litre boot in the Bentley Bentayga. In addition, there's an extra 62-litre storage cubby under the floor of the DBX boot, which is enough to fit a full-size spare wheel or some other valuables that you might want to tuck away discreetly.

The Aston Martin DBX only offers 1 engine option, a 542 bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 borrowed from Mercedes. The powertrain is found in many Mercedes-AMG models. It is also the same engine powering the Aston Martin DB11 and Aston Martin Vantage. In addition to its impressive speed, the massive V8 engine also offers a high towing capacity of 2,700 kg.

The Aston Martin DBX is a luxury SUV, so it was not designed with fuel economy being its top priority. Even standard SUVs and crossovers focus more on performance and capability. Consequently, the claimed fuel economy of 19 mpg provided by the DBX is quite reasonable and acceptable for a vehicle of its class. However, if you try to explore the limits of the DBX, the fuel economy can drop to single digits.

Even though the Euro NCAP has never crash-tested the Aston Martin DBX, you can rest assured it's still a safe car. It comes with plenty of standard safety equipment, including airbags in the front, sides and curtains. The DBX also comes with active safety technology features, such as lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot detection and cross-traffic warning.
