49 Used Aston Martin DB11 cars for sale

The driving experience of the Aston Martin DB11 depends on the trim and production year. Regardless, it's enjoyable no matter which year or variant. Aston Martin claims that the DBL11 is the smoothest and softest handling model it's ever produced. The earlier versions of the DB11 get the V12 engine, while the boisterous V8 power option comes with the 2017 and later versions. The performance-focused AMR trim joined the range in 2018. Generally, the DB11 focuses on providing better long-distance comfort rather than an adrenaline-packed sportier performance.

The Aston Martin DB11 lets you choose between 3 driving modes: GT, Sport and Sport+. The chances are high that you'll likely stick with the default GT mode, as this drive setting delivers naturally weighted steering with excellent feedback, great composure and excellent agility. However, there is a noticeable body roll in GT, but you can minimise this by selecting the Sport or Sport+ drive modes. These modes sharpen its throttle response, increase the steering weight and adjusts gear ratios when necessary.

Since the Aston Martin DB11 is a GT, it offers excellent touring performance. The range-topping V12 delivers 600 bhp, which increases to 630 bhp with the DB11 AMR V8 engine. While the V12 and the standard V8 engines offer a 0-62 mph sprint time of 3.9 seconds, the AMR takes only 3.7 seconds. The top speed also varies, with the V12 pushing a maximum of 200 mph and the AMR reaching 208 mph.

The front seats are comfy and spacious in the DB11, even for long trips. However, the back seats are mostly suitable for smaller passengers and children. You get a considerably larger 270-litre boot space in the newer versions than what you'll find in earlier generations. The DB11 Volante provides only 224 litres, but most people don't buy the DB11 to drive as a family car.

The Aston Martin DB11 closest rivals are the softly damped Mercedes GT and the Bentley GT tourers. Both are at par with the DB11 in terms of luxury. However, neither of the alternatives offer the same long-distance travelling comfort and engine performance as the DB11.

The Aston Martin DB11 comes with a load of safety equipment, including 6 airbags, electronic stability control, lane-departure warning and adaptive cruise control. As a performance car, the DB11 includes brake discs with 6-pot callipers to ensure fade-free stopping. Like most cars in its category, the DB11 has never been crash-tested by the Euro NCAP, thus lacking an official safety rating. Even so, with its strong build and safety technology, you can rest assured the DB11 is quite safe.
