It definitely is more special than a Urus. Here in LA I see at least one Urus on that road almost every day (and I see two or more in a day way more often than many would think). I've seen so many Uruses on the road, when I see one now I almost treat it like any other regular luxury SUV. However, I've only seen one Aston Martin DBX so far.

Coolest Quirk of the video are those slick license "plates" that Aston Newport seems to have. Looks like an E-Ink screen they can program with the temp registration, or have it in a display mode. Seen these in grocery stores for quickly adjusting prices, but never seen one on a car. Reminds me of the old "rotate a plate" James Bond gadget in the DB5 :)
Funny. Because I've never seen those. I wrote a comment about them asking if those are really digital license plates? I noticed he didn't point them out.
Great review as usual! Unpopular opinion: who cares if it doesn’t have all the latest tech, it’s a driver’s car meant to be driven. Why have a car that drives for you if it’s meant to be driven? I’ve never understood why people want a car that changes lanes and self drives if it meant to be driven…🤷🏽♂️
Because more FEMALE buyers than ever before means having to dilute traditional driver's values. Sadly, even most luxury dealership employees wouldn't know about heel & toe, pitch .vs. yaw & so on.
Nobody buys those kinds of vehicles. That's poor man thinking. Get a 36-month lease for the equivalent of the rent on a nice apartment. After three years you gonna be tired of it anyhow.
I’m in UK driving a RHD. The hood latch is also on the passenger side. So it appears to be a conscious decision to always put it in the passenger footwell.
It's a tradition going back to the old GT days where the passenger always acts as a mechanic. "Hey Jeeves, the engine is boiling, go open the bonnet and check on it, will ya?"
That’s exactly the problem I have with these cars. HPs went to stratosphere yet speed limits stay the same and traffic laws are stricter than ever. Plus, car makers have to compensate this ridiculous power bump with all sorts of electronic and mechanical systems that aid the car and prevent you from doing stupid shit ending up in disconnecting driver from the road. What you end up with is that you don’t enjoy driving this car as much as your Mustang even at 3x power
@@baronmunchausen645 this is definitely something to consider, I have to say believe it or not Mazda actually does a really good job with making a car that while not the best on paper technically ,but drives really nice and a lot more special than the numbers would reflect
Not about the car, but I think it's neat that the dealer is using the digital e-ink license plates on their vehicles. They advertise the dealership until a car goes on a test drive at which point they change it to show dealer plates. Better than having to prop a plate in the back window or risk scratching the paint with the magnet backed plate. Only legal in a few states, but kind of neat to see.
Not the newest tech. I'll almost take that as a win. It means you get real buttons for a lot of things. Instead of everything being touchscreen controlled. 👍 And it may just be me. But I don't think those advanced driver assist things like self driving. Is the most important thing, when you're in a car that is built as a drivers car. Loved the video, as always. 😊🙌
@@MrManBuzz Well yes and no. Personally I hate when they make everything touch controlled. Sure it looks nice, but buttons just works better when you use them while driving. (Most companies also do that because it's cheaper to slap a screen on the dash. Instead of spending a lot of money on design and layout of buttons) And I would probably go for something else, if I wanted the car to drive for me. But that's just my opinion. 😊 I do however agree with the fact that it is a bit dated. They should have touch control on the few things they do have on the screen.
Wow Doug I’m so happy you finally mentioned the tire specs, thank you! Wish you would in more reviews, minor I know but something I’m always curious about
I have not been a fan of the current generation of Aston Martins for some time; mainly due to the amount of Mercedes components in them that just stop these cars being an "Aston Martin" to me. And yes I know a lot of the older Astons had Ford, Mazda, Jaguar and Citroën components in them but they had just enough style and substance to keep them an "Aston Martin". But this DBX 707...I love it! They've tipped the balance enough to make me feel this car is more Aston Martin than Mercedes...and I don't even like SUV's!
2:17 - this used to be an Aston "bug" - as you say, they didn't move the latch when they converted from RHD to LHD. But it's been that way on so many Astons for so long it's now a deliberate feature - it has become a tradition. Wouldn't change it even if they could.
It rains more in America than the UK. And regards the bonnet release, why don’t left hand drive cars move it to the opposite side when cars are modified for sale in Britain and other right hand drive markets? Answer, because they can’t be arsed.
Its interesting because the Urus looks cheaper, the interiors aren't as beautiful and despite the audi touches, they also feel dated inside at least on video and yet, Aston martin cant sell this even being cheaper while urus demand is forever increasing apparently. I haven't driven them but I dont think any of the owners care about driving performance. The urus might be a better a car, who knows, but this 707 feels more special than the incoming performante which looks Mansoryed. We all cry about special cars disappearing and then only buy cars from the biggest conglomerates like vag and Daimler, there was once a time where there was a serious loose between cars and exotics and premium brands crept up that ladder (also down with a classes, macan, etc) 17:42 it was also far cheaper!
I'm not big on Super car tuners and designs, but what Mansory did to this thing is AMAZING! Just a few matching lottery numbers and that baby will be mine.
I may be wrong (have 2 ex’s that would concur) but, openings behind the rear wheel wells is to reduce the air pressure created inside wheel wells, which creates a fair amount of drag.
23" tyres, now they are definitely going to be pricey and hard to come by. I know from my experience working in a tyre shop that anything 20" and above is costly and can be a pain to get a hold of.
Dear Doug its time to change your main camera to better one. iphone colors are so much better in your videos and they can record with much much higher details. just look at the colors. details and exposure on main camera when you filming on the direct sun light. its almost indistinguishable bumper colors. pls consider better camera with better dynamic range
I think for the future really fast suv they should make the whole front end one big grille. It’s almost just as much a competition as the power and speed
My favorite SUV, always has been. Hate the color, but glad they dared to do it. I wouldn't want the 707 since the 'average' DBX is more than anyone will ever need from any SUV (excepting the infotainment), assuming one has a thick bank roll at your disposal. If you have to have any SUV (over any Vantage) I guess this is your car/truck. Aston-Martin simply makes some of the most desirable and attractive cars on the road and I would take almost any of them over the equivalent Porsche model....... and I love Porsches! They do need to give up on the gear selectors. They just don't work and never really did aesthetically especially with the D-drive selector being the fartest away from the actual driver. What? Still, love the car, um, SUV, um, DBX-vehicle-thingy-sporty-whatever, just give me one, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My neighbor just got one of these in that darkish green, it looks alright. She replaced her Bentley Bentayga with it, not sure about that decision, I think the Bentley had way more presence.
the hood latch thing... RHD Mustang from the US: Handbrake on the wrong side of centre console (not that hard to move), hood latch in passenger footwell. Same with the Ford Mondeo/Fusion. Its in the passenger footwell because why bother. My dad's Hyundai has no passenger grab handle, but the driver side has an indent where one should live. Because engineering a roof liner to suit both LHD/RHD models is too hard? Lots of LHD/RHD things are shortcut and some of them are just lazy. Re-engineering the cable path for the hood latch is very minor.
Hopefully Aston will make enough money with those SUVs to finish the Valkyrie. The people that paid the deposits are probably getting pretty pissed by now 😆
The valkyrie has been done for some time, customer cars have been delivered. Anyone who put a deposit on a tesla cybertruck or roadster though... those guys are fucked 😆
Concerning the umbrella, it doesn't rain as much as you think over here but I like the idea of having a loud engine start so everyone knows your there and then they worry about the noise the car door makes when it closes so put soft closing doors.
The umbrella looks like they just stuffed it in as an afterthought, and there’s no way to get at it without getting wet, unlike the hidden umbrella in a Rolls Royce.
Along with the hood latch being on the right/passenger side, looks like they also didn't switch the button for Drive on the dash - makes sense to be on the far right for a right hand drive car - closer to the driver. But seems far away from the driver for a left hand drive car.
That whole set up seems very convoluted and dumb. It's either stretching to reach Drive or stretching to reach Reverse, who thought it was a good idea to put that on the very top of the dash when the center console is much more easily reached.
I like push button autos, but the buttons should be clustered together on the driver's side of dash between the steering wheel and the door, like how they were on 1950's Dodges/Chryslers. The hood release in the passenger footwell is a tradition from the old days where you would always keep a mechanic with you as a passenger while doing open road cross-country GT races.
I think this is the first time i ever heard him using the 0-60 time from a magazine and not manufacturer times. NO WAY does the cayenne, x5, e63 and rs6/rsq8 look better than the DBX!!!! It's funny how you have all the german cars higher in styling!!
In the UK all bonnet (hood) release handles are on the passenger side of the car. This is a safety feature so drivers using the peddles don’t catch the release handle with their legs. This is something you’ll see on all British made cars.
Most people don't realize the reason why the hood/bonnet release is in the passenger side footwell is because traditionally in the old days of cross-country GT racing, you would always have a passenger to act as navigator and mechanic. If an issue with the engine came up while driving, you would pull over and say something like "oh bugger, the engine is boiling....Jeeves, be a good man and check under the bonnet, will you?". And that's why the hood release is on the passenger side. From what I understand it's also reversed on the right hand drive models too for that very reason.... it's just an old British tradition. Sort of like how Porsche carries on the old racing tradition of placing the ignition key on the left side of the steering wheel, so you could hop in and start up with your left hand, while quickly slamming it into 1st gear with your right hand.
Granted a lot of other SUVs stretch the definition too so it's not strictly the Model X, but I'd personally consider the Model X an egg minivan more than anything. Like a modern day fast Previa.
Have you considered doing a POV camera for the drive portion.. seeing nothing but your face the entire time doesn’t really do much for the viewing experience
Doug, I just want to say thank you. In a world of intense instability, your regular reviews provide me a consistency that helps me relax and switch off from all the other shit going on. Please never change your format and keep doing what you’re doing.
The DBX 707 has a 15/20 mpg rating which didn’t work for me since I commute a lot, so I went with a 2015 Honda CRV instead

Dear Doug its time to change your main camera to better one. iphone colors are so much better in your videos and they can record with much much higher details. just look at the colors. details and exposure on main camera when you filming on the direct sun light. its almost indistinguishable bumper colors. pls consider better camera with better dynamic range
I think for the future really fast suv they should make the whole front end one big grille. It’s almost just as much a competition as the power and speed
Well you have to have a way to tell one jacked up, unattractive box from the other jacked up, unattractive box. Grill is just the easiest way to go.
SOOO car & Driver has never test a Tesla Model X Plaid. Because that is BY FAR the fastest SUV in the world
I guess we can act like we didn’t see that door didn’t stay in its position like he said. 😂😂
My favorite SUV, always has been. Hate the color, but glad they dared to do it. I wouldn't want the 707 since the 'average' DBX is more than anyone will ever need from any SUV (excepting the infotainment), assuming one has a thick bank roll at your disposal. If you have to have any SUV (over any Vantage) I guess this is your car/truck. Aston-Martin simply makes some of the most desirable and attractive cars on the road and I would take almost any of them over the equivalent Porsche model....... and I love Porsches! They do need to give up on the gear selectors. They just don't work and never really did aesthetically especially with the D-drive selector being the fartest away from the actual driver. What? Still, love the car, um, SUV, um, DBX-vehicle-thingy-sporty-whatever, just give me one, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doug drenched in sweat leaving his mark all over the interior, nice..lol
The part where Doug said _IT'S QURKIN' TIME!_ 😛 literally gave me chills.
Truly breathtaking writing
It was one of the car reviews of all time
Bravo Doug
@@aznanimegob Absolutely the most review lately
And quirked all over us! Truly one of the moments of all time
It's truly the moment Doug became Walter Jr
My neighbor just got one of these in that darkish green, it looks alright. She replaced her Bentley Bentayga with it, not sure about that decision, I think the Bentley had way more presence.
Damn she rich
Nice paint job..0-60 in 3.1 is wickedly quick.
Lambo urus and gle 63amg coupe are my favorite coupe' style suv's
Here is the recommended clip of Doug shorts :

the hood latch thing... RHD Mustang from the US: Handbrake on the wrong side of centre console (not that hard to move), hood latch in passenger footwell. Same with the Ford Mondeo/Fusion. Its in the passenger footwell because why bother.
My dad's Hyundai has no passenger grab handle, but the driver side has an indent where one should live. Because engineering a roof liner to suit both LHD/RHD models is too hard? Lots of LHD/RHD things are shortcut and some of them are just lazy. Re-engineering the cable path for the hood latch is very minor.
The updated look is so much better 🔥🔥🔥
If you're putting the Trackhawk in the comparison at the end, shouldn't you put the Rivian R1S there, too?
Hopefully Aston will make enough money with those SUVs to finish the Valkyrie. The people that paid the deposits are probably getting pretty pissed by now 😆
The valkyrie has been done for some time, customer cars have been delivered. Anyone who put a deposit on a tesla cybertruck or roadster though... those guys are fucked 😆
@@dustyice3110 I meant finish the production of the Valkyries. They have delivered far fewer cars than what they promised.
Here is the recommended clip of Doug shorts :-

They should have made 500 Valkyries and 100 AMR Pros. Would have made billions.
nope they are just enjoying there other toys until its delivered, so much toys to play. 😔
Concerning the umbrella, it doesn't rain as much as you think over here but I like the idea of having a loud engine start so everyone knows your there and then they worry about the noise the car door makes when it closes so put soft closing doors.
Dougs the type of guy to call a $300,000 Aston Martin a BARGAIN

It is a bargain it will be worth $100k in one year from now
I live in Sunderland, UK and I usually see this bloke driving around in his white DBX 707

The umbrella looks like they just stuffed it in as an afterthought, and there’s no way to get at it without getting wet, unlike the hidden umbrella in a Rolls Royce.
or the ones in Skodas
Saying that it's incredibly quick while going uphill at 18:17 on Newport Coast Drive is saying something!
LOVE THIS SUV SO MUCH!! Maybe one of the best looking SUV’s right next to the X5M Competition.

Doug, you should start exercising with weights and cardio. You should NOT be sweating THAT much in 70 degree weather.
Don't forget, the Jeep Trackhawk also has over 700 HP.
American car brands making Europeans laughable since 1908
Don't forget model x plaid has ober 1000hp while beaing cheaper to drive...
@@thanosianthemadtitanic and its 0-60 mph is ?
@@lukabosnjak3829 Yeah, but it is electric. Therefore it loses by default.
And is slow compared to this, the Cayenne Turbo GT, Audi RSQ8, BMW X6M Competition, so on and so forth.
Conveniently forgetting the Tesla Model X Plaid which has over 300 more horsepower and does the 0-60 almost a full second faster….
Along with the hood latch being on the right/passenger side, looks like they also didn't switch the button for Drive on the dash - makes sense to be on the far right for a right hand drive car - closer to the driver. But seems far away from the driver for a left hand drive car.
That whole set up seems very convoluted and dumb. It's either stretching to reach Drive or stretching to reach Reverse, who thought it was a good idea to put that on the very top of the dash when the center console is much more easily reached.

I like push button autos, but the buttons should be clustered together on the driver's side of dash between the steering wheel and the door, like how they were on 1950's Dodges/Chryslers.
The hood release in the passenger footwell is a tradition from the old days where you would always keep a mechanic with you as a passenger while doing open road cross-country GT races.
The DBX 707hp wasn't enough for my upper class standards, so I went with a 120hp Hyundai Venue instead.
I think this is the first time i ever heard him using the 0-60 time from a magazine and not manufacturer times. NO WAY does the cayenne, x5, e63 and rs6/rsq8 look better than the DBX!!!! It's funny how you have all the german cars higher in styling!!

So basically it’s a luxury version of the Jeep trackhawk
The fact that the screen is not a touchscreen is a letdown at this level of luxury
They don’t do touchscreen anymore because of fingerprints
Definitely going to make this car a priority for myself
I live within walking distance of that dealership. I wish I had known when Doug was going to be down there. I would have liked to meet him .
You know your car is insane when your “relaxed” driving mode is called GT.
Grand touring is usually luxury mode
Forget Bentley, Rolls Royce, BMW and Mercedes. Austin Martin always does some of the most gorgeous interiors and exteriors i have ever seen ....
Especially wheels 🛞

Dude, not putting the hood latch on the driver side is so freaking lazy for a $200k sports car. Jesus...
Doug is the type of guy to say, " 540 horsepower is not enough"!
In the UK all bonnet (hood) release handles are on the passenger side of the car.
This is a safety feature so drivers using the peddles don’t catch the release handle with their legs.
This is something you’ll see on all British made cars.
Wow it sounds gnarly!
Doug is the type of guy who would review a super expensive car in some shirts you would buy out of Dollar General.
Beautiful car! It would be my daily driver if i could afford it. Great video Doug
Most people don't realize the reason why the hood/bonnet release is in the passenger side footwell is because traditionally in the old days of cross-country GT racing, you would always have a passenger to act as navigator and mechanic. If an issue with the engine came up while driving, you would pull over and say something like "oh bugger, the engine is boiling....Jeeves, be a good man and check under the bonnet, will you?". And that's why the hood release is on the passenger side. From what I understand it's also reversed on the right hand drive models too for that very reason.... it's just an old British tradition. Sort of like how Porsche carries on the old racing tradition of placing the ignition key on the left side of the steering wheel, so you could hop in and start up with your left hand, while quickly slamming it into 1st gear with your right hand.
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
21:56 that's some crazy image stabilization wonkiness from the camera/phone. Looks like the car is floating.
I don’t understand all these “fastest suv ever tested in 0-60” claims that completely ignore the model x plaid. Is it not considered an suv?
No
Here is the recommended clip of Doug shorts :-
ua-cam.com/video/QbHAaWyFCz4/v-deo.html
Right?!
Granted a lot of other SUVs stretch the definition too so it's not strictly the Model X, but I'd personally consider the Model X an egg minivan more than anything. Like a modern day fast Previa.
@@shroomyesc very true
of course the hood latch is on the passenger side, they have to cut costs somewhere to squeeze into the tight 240k
Here is the recommended clip of Doug shorts :-
ua-cam.com/video/QbHAaWyFCz4/v-deo.html
It’s not a big deal. It’s not like you’re opening the bonnet everyday
they have it like that in every aston, it's more of a tradition to them
Apparently it's on the passenger side in the UK too, so not a cost cutting measure
@@yitzele wtf why lmao, bri'n bein bri'ish I guess
I like how it looks. It's a bit reminiscent of the Porsche and the Lamborghini
Have you considered doing a POV camera for the drive portion.. seeing nothing but your face the entire time doesn’t really do much for the viewing experience
Doug, I just want to say thank you. In a world of intense instability, your regular reviews provide me a consistency that helps me relax and switch off from all the other shit going on. Please never change your format and keep doing what you’re doing.
