“My front drive is not the place to show you” Harry then proceeds to drive for at least 20 seconds! I love the fact that Harry has all the things that a man could want but is so humble about it!
Since I ever watched first Harry's vlog (I mean - my first Harry's) I was so impressed on how relaxing it was to watch... Some journalists have that MTV style, AK47 speed of talk... No, I don't need it. And I don't want it. I will wacht Harry's Garage and just relax. Thanks Harry!
chappy2121 not pointless. These cars are bestsellers and keeping these companies alive. They also are engineered so well that they dont really have a handling “penalty” for an suv.
If you read old quality car magazines (like Harry's then), it was a term used quite often. Unfortunately most modern cars don't have that feeling (Volvo V60 is suprisingly good though), if you're lucky you're floating on a cloud but no feel whatsoever...
I've read once about what the Jaguar had called "The first 50 metres rule" that the first impression-like thing is also present between the man and the machine after these several metres of driving :)
@@ATX_Engineer People who buy new Astons don't even look at the repair bill and know the maintenance manager and salesman at their dealer by first name basis.
Harry is so Knowledgeable. Knows all there is know about this level of Motor.. World apart review from all the others. Harry another one you smashed out the park. 10/10.
PhotoIsca Yes I considered that, but two things firstly they are switches, all they have to do is move them. Secondly which one would you choose to put so far away?
I really hope this does for Aston what the Cayenne has done for Porsche. Selling vast numbers of a well-built SUV and allow the company to continue building proper sports cars.
@@McFly50 I thought of Porsche first, with the Macan and the Cayenne being the company's main sellers. Relatively speaking, I think the numbers of DBX sold will be much higher than other Aston models.
@@nl3712 Top comment? the cayenne came out nearly two decades before this, talk about being way, WAY late to the game. They will never sell in the numbers the cayenne has.
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.
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.
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.
Thoroughly enjoyed your review of the DBX Harry. My favourite brand look like they've got it right straight away with the first SUV. Love your reviews as always entertaining, well worded and delivered.
Another brilliant review by Harry, that evil bump test wasn't boring at all, it demonstrated the real life living with a car, that is very much appreciated.
Surprised me to hear how good it actually is. And the interior looks almost class leading too. Well done Aston. Great video as usual Harry. Many thanks.
Add reclining and adjustable rear seats even the Volvo XC90 has thaT, HUD, and the gear shifter from the first gen. Jaguar F-Pace (the rotating dial that disappeared in the console, I just loved having that in mine, and what a spectacular cool feature that Jaguar threw out... what were they thinking?) also I wonder whatr happened to the grab handles above the windows that are blanked out here? Is it the pesky yankees that don't allow it?
Woooo all these notifications for the Aston reviews!! Keep trying lads you know there’s only one place to go! Nice one Harry 👍🏼 suppose I better put the headphones on for this one not sure my better half is that interested in an Aston at 12am 😄
That’s not that case with me as I bought an expensive car once and I can say I have learnt my lesson and will never do it again. A three year old car is the way forward for me from now on as in all honesty buying a new expensive car was a bloody stupid thing to do. It massaged the Ego for all of ten minutes until I realised what I bloody fool I was.
They are really VW Touaregs, technically not a bad thing and these things did save Porsche from bankruptcy. They sold loads of them with big margins toi. This has allowed Porsche to continue to be viable making 'real' Porsches. Every other manufacturer has now jumped on the same rather tasless bandwagon.
"That's it. Well that was exciting, wasn't it? [...] I'll do that again [...] And here it is -- and there it goes. That was the most boring bit of video I'll probably do..." Hah! Great stuff and thanks Harry and team.
Happened the other day with the T50. A shame as I’m not going to watch all the reviews of the same car. It gets boring. For this one I shall be watching Harry and Carfection. Try to watch anyway, I despise SUVs.

Thank you , Harry, for your unique take on the cars you check out. I was unaware of the incredible noise of the new Porsche 992. I test drove one, recently, and my phone decibel meter confirmed what you said ! Im looking at other models because this noise is too much. Love your channel !

A bit late watching Harrys review of the DBX and as usual I'm not disappointed. Another great video from Mr M. Always a pleasure watching a master at work.
I guess this is what survival looks like for Aston Martin in 2020. Ironic that the least Aston Martin car they've ever made may save the company. The next step is adding Kwh into the mix or like it or not, this model just slows the demise. Evolution or extinction
@@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.
@@tomraymond9795 You're high if you're comparing a Model 3 to a super luxury SUV. No one in the market for one cares that it doesn't have a battery for a the next decade. The volume for cars like this is less than 10K models over the course of it's life span. I think they'll be fine without all your futuristic claptrap tbh. xD
Given the number of Jaguar F-pace, Audi Q's, Range Rover Sports etc around my neighborhood - none of which ever see any off-road at all, sadly, you are almost certainly right, or even underestimating things, because humans are fucking stupid.
@@Utahsaint Nah, you underestimate human stupidity - people will lease these things like hotcakes, then they will be resold for a fraction of their original RRP, to people too stupid to realize they are buying a crappy lemon they will end up regretting - and so the wastage cycle is continued. Fucking depressing IMO.
thought the same as you harry when i brought my golf gti mk7.5 sat in it and had a test drive and it felt right and was balanced,well judged ride,another great review
Seems like everyone wants this to work! It looks like it's a great car full of potential, potential that's been reached. Now it just has to sell but with all of these brilliant reviews rooting for it hopefully it will!
Put a different grille on it and it could be any other SUV (actually, with Ford nicking Aston's grille it looks like a Ford as it is). 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. If you were interested in driving you'd by a car not an SUV, and if you actually needed an SUV (and had this kind of money) you'd buy a much cheaper SUV and a better car.
I don't like those things, either. Alas, they're quite successful - the Cayenne became the best selling Porsche. With this thing from Aston Martin, Ferrari/Maserati appear to be the last ones resisting the temptation (or am I overlooking something?).
@@felixarbable Posh people wouldn't be seen dead in a field with the Aston. They will buy the Land Rover for such menial tasks. This is a car for posing at polo and picking up the spawn from the private school.
I've never been so excited for a new SUV except for maybe the new G Wagen. I'm an estate guy but man I really like this. Please save Aston, you're the right car to do it DBX
The presentation a car like this deserves. I could never afford a car like this but if I could, I would!! So nice to see preformance without trying to break the land speed record, and design for a family, individual man and individual woman, and so many sensible innovations included. Thanks Harry......as always the top man of car review!! Cheers, Bob
I agree. Just because everyones an SUV I don;'t think it suits all brands. IT's really bland to have everyone doing the same thing. A luxury box on wheels.
But never seizes to amaze me how coups and sedans can have unique look, but SUV's just can't break the mold. It honestly look like a cross between the Cayenne, Lexus RX, Mazda MX5...
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
Probably not.. Sales drop when they are purchased and driven by the wrong people... Remember Burberry and football fans the brand suffered.. So AM aren't going worried if the wrong people don't buy it. May they'll pay them not to buy similar to Levi asking Jeremy Clarkson not to wear their product if they paid him
Awesome video!! When Aston do it right - that is the most perfect feeling - you can’t describe it - it’s something you have to feel and experience yourself
Been waiting for you to put up the review of this car Harry after seeing it briefly on your farming channel. But you were under secrecy then. I was smiling so much along with you on this ride.
It's a bit borderline at 2.7tonnes, a decent two horse trailer plus a 16'2 horse will be close to that, you won't be able to take two big horses or a big horse plus living (e.g. IW Eventa L). I guess they are hoping it'll be OK for the first foray into ponies and then replaced by a horsebox if things get serious :)
Lots of people who don't buy these things say that, but a significant minority will be used to do light offroading and/or towing. It's the versatility of these things that appeals, Aston needed to include it. Sounds like they did.
Well well well,this car test was worth waiting for! Harry what a great video treat from you,to show us around a suburb motor car,I can can only dream about,well done Harry & thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So all the other channels have just posted their reviews of the DBX, but I’m watching this one first. Harry is a true gent.
Thing about what you are saying. This is an advert.

I'll click on Harry before anyone short of Harris.
...exactly...to me Harry is number 1 for a well rounded honest review.
It was embargoed until Monday so all the UA-camrs scheduled them to drop at midnight

Never seen Harry smile so much while reviewing a car!! This DBX must be awesome!
That colour is stunning. Hope this car does well for aston.
Me too, it is a great car and looks great too, not like most expensive SUVs.
As far as cars in this segment go. This and the Macan are by far the best looking, utterly pointless but at least they look good.
Yeah, I hope it will bring a lot of money so that AM can finish the development of the Valkyrie ;-)
chappy2121 not pointless. These cars are bestsellers and keeping these companies alive. They also are engineered so well that they dont really have a handling “penalty” for an suv.

Not many remember the Lagonda, it was a week long :) We do
Zio
I’m old enough to remember many things people didn’t even know existed. ;-)
🤪🤪🤪
@@Yorkshiremadmick Perhaps we are old enough and we both remember :)
You finding excitement in “evil” bumps are the best thing in a long time. You made a perfect point on that bump😄🚀
I'd pick this over the Bentayga every day of the week.
I pick everything with 4 wheels over a bentayga.. I’ve driven it for a long weekend and not once did I park and gave it a second glance..
No contest - is there an uglier suv than Bentayga? Maybe the RR tank but otherwise I think not! AM looks pure class
Well if you like to be seen in a fiesta that would be a good idea
That's not really saying much 😂
@@richardadams3142 thinking about it, the churchill tank has more elegance than the rolls
Watched a few reviews of this and Harry owns them! Great technical review but it is an applied discussion - real life benefits. Love your work Harry!
Quite, especially the "nought to sixty" nonsense... I especially detest the launch control idiots.
I love that interior!!!
A bit late watching Harrys review of the DBX and as usual I'm not disappointed.
Another great video from Mr M.
Always a pleasure watching a master at work.
I guess this is what survival looks like for Aston Martin in 2020.
Ironic that the least Aston Martin car they've ever made may save the company. The next step is adding Kwh into the mix or like it or not, this model just slows the demise.
Evolution or extinction
Regulations may favour EVs, but people's buying habits certainly don't.....
I don't think lithium ion cells are what's gonna do for keeping Aston from going under but nice try.
@@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.
You must have forgotten about the Cygnet
@@tomraymond9795 You're high if you're comparing a Model 3 to a super luxury SUV. No one in the market for one cares that it doesn't have a battery for a the next decade. The volume for cars like this is less than 10K models over the course of it's life span. I think they'll be fine without all your futuristic claptrap tbh. xD
i like that behind, the ducktail spoiler is very cool
Prediction: The DBX will account for at least 60% of Aston's 2021 sales.
I'd even go 80%.
Given the number of Jaguar F-pace, Audi Q's, Range Rover Sports etc around my neighborhood - none of which ever see any off-road at all, sadly, you are almost certainly right, or even underestimating things, because humans are fucking stupid.
Given the price, I’d say about 10%
@@Utahsaint Nah, you underestimate human stupidity - people will lease these things like hotcakes, then they will be resold for a fraction of their original RRP, to people too stupid to realize they are buying a crappy lemon they will end up regretting - and so the wastage cycle is continued. Fucking depressing IMO.
This thing is going to sell big time... then again in the secondary market for nothing because this thing is a completely bespoke machine.
thought the same as you harry when i brought my golf gti mk7.5 sat in it and had a test drive and it felt right and was balanced,well judged ride,another great review
Love this guys reviews so informative and detailed. Awesome car 🔥🏆
Seems like everyone wants this to work! It looks like it's a great car full of potential, potential that's been reached. Now it just has to sell but with all of these brilliant reviews rooting for it hopefully it will!
Just what we need.
Another 2 and a half ton, massive, 200 grand off roader that will never see off road.
Put a different grille on it and it could be any other SUV (actually, with Ford nicking Aston's grille it looks like a Ford as it is).
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. If you were interested in driving you'd by a car not an SUV, and if you actually needed an SUV (and had this kind of money) you'd buy a much cheaper SUV and a better car.
I don't like those things, either. Alas, they're quite successful - the Cayenne became the best selling Porsche.
With this thing from Aston Martin, Ferrari/Maserati appear to be the last ones resisting the temptation (or am I overlooking something?).
@Andrew Frost Dang.... I did. Thanks all the same!
I'd love to see all the Cullinans, Bentaygas, Urus and Levantes on the Rubicon Trail...
Yea, but at least I will look good going to the gun range.
@D B Brand mystique is bs anyway. At least the curtain has been pulled now.
Every reviewer seems to love this car. Can't afford one just now as I'm moving. Harry's reviews are the best.
A perfect Chelski Tractor. What on earth is Harry going about? This bus is going nowhere near a field or a river.
You didn't see Harry driving it around the countryside on his Harry's Farm videos then?
@@Zadster he's not a buyer though...
@@iconicon5642 😁😁😁😁
Just look at his garage...
He can easily buy it
Arabs drive their fancy 4x4s quite hard in the desert in qatar etc and allot of wealthy people own land, farms etc.
@@felixarbable Posh people wouldn't be seen dead in a field with the Aston. They will buy the Land Rover for such menial tasks. This is a car for posing at polo and picking up the spawn from the private school.
Harry and Chris Harris. The only guys that make truly informed and interesting videos
And Mr JWW
pure Harry had no time to iron polo shirt ;)
I've never been so excited for a new SUV except for maybe the new G Wagen. I'm an estate guy but man I really like this. Please save Aston, you're the right car to do it DBX
Since I'm not rich enough for this I'll just have to stick to the poor man's version.
My 2019 CX--5 turbo.
Bloody good cars Mazda's
CX-5 turbo? Luxury! (with a nod to Monty Python)
I have my John Deere tractor to go off-road, much more efficient
The presentation a car like this deserves. I could never afford a car like this but if I could, I would!! So nice to see preformance without trying to break the land speed record, and design for a family, individual man and individual woman, and so many sensible innovations included.
Thanks Harry......as always the top man of car review!!
Cheers, Bob
yeah im gonna watch harry's i think and ignore the others
Fantastic video Harry . This car is the answer to Aston Martin's prayers , STUNNING
Ferrari is the last one holding out. I think they're profitable enough to just say "no". Don't do it Ferrari.
Er they’ve got one coming out in two years time.
why don't do a SUV? In fact many rich people still want to drive a SUV marqued supercar brand. They want a SUV which is damn powerful. Why not?
@@quocanh95nguyen its just not sporty , it has a very high CoG. SUV's are just not sports cars. they are for older rich show offs.
I agree. Just because everyones an SUV I don;'t think it suits all brands. IT's really bland to have everyone doing the same thing. A luxury box on wheels.
D B Gent Harry wouldn’t reply that way, would he?
This guys reviews are awesome because they are as real
And down to earth as it gets love it : )
I really want Aston to succeed but 158k base is wild.
Your right mate! A bit steep
I have a DBX and love it. The gas mileage is a sin but it's so much fun to drive AND so roomy. It's a real SUV.
But never seizes to amaze me how coups and sedans can have unique look, but SUV's just can't break the mold.
It honestly look like a cross between the Cayenne, Lexus RX, Mazda MX5...
No car manufacturer ever build suma that doesnt look simliar to suma else. Every car i have seen has design cue from suma else.
Guess what else category that the mold is unbreakable: the beloved wagons.
lovely the way your shirt coordinates with the interior - you crack us up with your 'boring bump investigations' - you're never boring Harry ; P
It seems the least vulgar and ostentatious of the exotic SUVs, and in this market, sales will probably suffer as a result.
Least ugly by far.
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
Not designed with Premiership footballers in mind..
Probably not.. Sales drop when they are purchased and driven by the wrong people... Remember Burberry and football fans the brand suffered.. So AM aren't going worried if the wrong people don't buy it. May they'll pay them not to buy similar to Levi asking Jeremy Clarkson not to wear their product if they paid him
What a glorious machine!
❤️❤️
Ace review, thank you Harry !
17:01 "An evil bump.. Im gonna do it again. 😂
Awesome video!! When Aston do it right - that is the most perfect feeling - you can’t describe it - it’s something you have to feel and experience yourself
A footballists dream.
Yes footballers wives are going to love it😆
Precisely. And Pony club members. Who cares - if it saves Aston then thats a good thing right?
@Viktor Sligo The Valkyrie and my impending lottery win?
Been waiting for you to put up the review of this car Harry after seeing it briefly on your farming channel. But you were under secrecy then. I was smiling so much along with you on this ride.
Aston with towing capacity, wonder how many will be seen towing horses around to events?
most of them?
It's a bit borderline at 2.7tonnes, a decent two horse trailer plus a 16'2 horse will be close to that, you won't be able to take two big horses or a big horse plus living (e.g. IW Eventa L). I guess they are hoping it'll be OK for the first foray into ponies and then replaced by a horsebox if things get serious :)
More likely going to Waitrose in Surrey or parked up in Knightsbridge.
Lots of people who don't buy these things say that, but a significant minority will be used to do light offroading and/or towing. It's the versatility of these things that appeals, Aston needed to include it. Sounds like they did.
@@nickfarrington2390 Could not agree more
I see Harry, no wonder which world launch! Real world views! Go for it, and with Mrs Harry behind the cam!
1:00 “with a few extras”.
For the price of those extras you could buy a car, and a not even too shabby one as well.
Well well well,this car test was worth waiting for! Harry what a great video treat from you,to show us around a suburb motor car,I can can only dream about,well done Harry & thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
