  • The Aston Martin DBX is a key car for Aston Martin, hugely anticipated, this is the car everyone involved with the company is hoping is going to prove to be a game-changer for Aston Martin. Here, I review the car after two days of test on and off road.

    Watching this a year later is very interesting. It’s always struck me that the DBX is a real sweet spot in the range of all these super SUVs - one of the best looking, well thought out and great to drive.
    Yet looking at the stats, Aston sold just over 300 in 2020, while both the Urus and Bentayga each sold more than 3x as many.
    I think that nowadays this is an enormously under appreciated car. On the used market, they’re a solid £65k less than a comparable Urus. I do hope sales pick up, it would be a shame for this car to go out of production.

    • @Nyperia
      @Nyperia Рік тому

      ugly, old tech, doesn't do anything exceptional. I've driven both the bentayga (v8) and the urus, not the aston martin but I don't see how it would be better. I don't even know who buys an Aston Martin, not just this, but any of their models.

    • @shogun2215
      @shogun2215 10 місяців тому

      I think what you're considering a 'sweet spot' is actually a car that fails to find its identity, much like the rest of Aston Martins' range right now.
      It's too big to be a sporty SUV like the Urus, too dated to be a truly luxurious car like the Bentley not to mention the obvious Mercedes switchgear inside and frankly I think it's one of the ugliest SUVs on sale at the moment. The fact that Aston can't make an SUV sell well shows that no matter what the enthusiasts think about AMs' design language at the moment, the people who actually buy these cars hate it.
      I mean for christs' sake, we've gone from Ian Callum and Henrik Fiskers' DB9, Vantage and Vanquish which oozed elegance and are still some of the most beautiful cars ever, to Marek Reichmann's portfolio of godawful designs.

      I wouldn't watch anybody else reviewing yet another blobby SUV that is considerably worse than a similar regular-shaped car would be. A 'status symbol' and nothing else.

      @@mattevans4377 They're coming, the momentum is shifting. Model 3 was the top selling car in April. Lifetime ownership costs are already cheaper for a new EV and they're still getting cheaper/ better charge times and range. Slow charge times are outweighed by hone charging for regular short commutes (doesn't help everyone yet admitedly but solutions for flats/ terraces will come )
      Scale manafacturers like VAG and Ford joining the party will keep pushing prices down and choice up.
      In ten years, I doubt many purely ICE cars will even be on sale as they just won't make sense.
      You also have to consider re-sale. You don't want to worry about whether your 3-5 year old car will be effectively obselete/ not allowed to enter cities etc or cost of ownership suddenly looks ridiculous.
      I'm not saying we're quite there yet, heading that way though and development of a whole new powertrain technology and the software to make it work competitively takes a lot of time and money. So AM and every other manafacturer need to get cracking or be left behind.

      I agree. The Bentley front end is ugly, the Rolls front end is absolutely hideous, and the Urus front end looks awkward with the sports car look not translating well to the thicker SUV nose. The Cayenne is more tolerable, but the iconic Porsche front-end just didn't translate well to an SUV in my opinion, but they still stuck to it.

      IMO Bentley has done good job, as it's well aligned with other Bentleys(for how it looks). Urus, while technically impressive, just looks like an Audi with an ugly bodykit, much more so than R8/Huracan. Rolls is just unnecessary, as it basically serves the same purpose as the other big cars in their line up, while being less attractive. Yeah, least vulgar of them all, good looks, practicality and performance

    • @271production
      @271production 4 роки тому

      Well Aston Martin has the issue that if they sell too many cars, they are subject to fleet wide CO2 emission regulations. Boutique manufacturers don't have to adhere to the EU regulations, as long as they produce in low numbers. So a very well selling SUV means that suddenly their average CO2 goes through the roof and they get massive fines. This is the reason Ferrari is waiting with their SUV and why there is no 'cheap' Dino replacement. Ferrari is at the limit with their production numbers. For other manufacturers like Lamborghini, they can rely on the CO2 emissions for the VAG group.
