I’ll admit, I was rewatching all the Potter films when I filmed this last year. And it’s a British brand, hence the idea. Haha. 😆 As for DBX, the stats say I should be unimpressed, but when have the stats been the be all and end all? This handles beautifully and sounds brilliant. Now if they can just up the power, add bigger brakes and sort the design! Winner.
I see you on so many of the videos I watch haha I just have to comment on one of your posts. I also see you on a lot of V8 automotive stuff especially :)
The DBX is my favorite car at the moment. Aston Martin styling and interior choices with the glorious AMG engine. People are seriously sleeping on these
Raz, I can't begin to express how awesome it is to listen to your initial impressions of the new DBX, then follow along with you as you let the vehicle "talk" to you. That look on your face as you listen and begin to understand the vehicle by it's dynamics is priceless! Your analysis is helpful when it comes to how to spec a DBX, and it's fun to imagine Aston Martin adopting your ideas into future updates. RBR is a joy that more motorheads must experience. Thank You!
Unfortunately Aston seems to of out-priced themselves again , especially for the Tech, but aesthetically I love it.... Also a simple re map will see this around 650bhp, I believe my C63s Ed1 got 600.
They absolutely nailed the body sculpture and design. There are some angles I simply can't stop staring at and others I find and learn to love even more constantly
Really enjoyed another review. Lovely car but ouch the price. Definitely one to buy as a second owner. Have you thought of doing a watch collection review as you seem to have some really nice models.
Finally, you said what I always want to say, the daytime running light. It's not aston at all. I wish dbx has the similar DRL like db11 or dbs, that will look so cool.
@@edward2291 Chris has made a tweet saying an influencer asked for 25k and free fitting and future cuts of all sales, shmee's manager pointed the finger at JWW. but this isn't the case...

the vehicle "xray" of the chassis and suspension alone makes this channel worth subbing to. the vehicle swaps are also very cool. I bet it takes a lot of work to do it
Excellent video, very clever and always balanced. Mentioning things like the competitors also sharing tech and that Aston change fundamentals in the AMG engine and gearbox. Really good
Looks great, but a bit too expensive for what it brings to the table, especiallyconsidering the competition. Could use a "Lister treatment". But then again, the price would go up even further... 🤷♂️
Great review chap, keep up the good work. From what I can recall, the sole reason for no CCM brakes was that (albeit very unlikely), steels are better suited for going off-road. More good stuff to come from that chassis platform...
Would you not agree that no heads up display for such an expensive car is strange?? My 2013 650i has it and I love that tech! Otherwise, it’s a beauty!
most of the time carbon brakes are worse than the standards because they need to heat up. bit of a scam really particularly on an suv that isn't gonna be hooned enough for the breaks to even heat up
ANd it is a simply beautiful SUV in a market segment that tends to be utilitarian rather than pretty. Having 'only' 405Kw means nothing since when are you going to use more other than on a race track? I saw one for real yesterday on display and it was GORGEOUS.
As SUV’s go it’s One of the best looking cars out there brilliant engine brilliant chassis love the interior it would be nice if it had a more up-to-date infotainment system though looks old compare to some of them in the market
How does it compare to equivalent Mercedes GLE 500 AMG, that costs £60k less? Bearing in mind, that AMG Merc gets the latest electronics and the optional off road package? By the way .... Urus has torque vectoring and 4 wheel steering ... hence slightly heavier steering.
Oh hell it’s a Benz!! All the hell ppl give Toyota for the Sup! This a Benz!! Blahhh ! XM5 competition for me!! Great work tho bro! Love your Channel!!
If cars with OPF can still sound this good. No other brands have any excuse why their cars (especially the v8/ top of the range cars) are almost silent. Looking at you Audi. Looking at you too Porsche 911.
@@RemoveBeforeRace Great channel!! I know that you reviewed one at the press launch, but having one in the driveway and on the open road for review would be a winner. Luckily I am in the USA so the sound is still what it should be. All the best!!!
I wanted my mom to get a cool car she doesn't like sedans like I do so we agreed on an SUV.. I was like okay we need a bentayga but here in Vegas they were sold out and I am not a patient person so then we got invited to a Aston Martin event (my mom has always wanted an Aston since the DB9) so of course we went. We saw the dox and I could tell she fell in love ill admit its pretty cool so we bought one basically top of the line.. we've had it for about 2 months and my biggest complaints with it are as follows (Infotainment- I love the position of the NON TOUCHSCREEN its a perfect touchscreen but its not so that's really fvckin stupid.) welp there you go that's it the only problem I truly have with it is the infotainment which is jack shit it lacks customization and doesn't have touchscreen capabilities but its perfect for touchscreen literally PERFECT placement and reachability. so all in all I would recommend it, its a super fun and lovable car with great sound would recommend just Aston Martin pls fix the damn infotainment I would pay them thousands to make it a touchscreen
The design is nice (even when not my favorite in this class) and it looks fun to drive, but for me, this should be a maximum of 110K - or better less for what it offers as a package.
That will take this car to a Cayenne, GLE63 rival. Not really where Aston want to place themselves, plus it’s an all-new bespoke platform. That alone cost shed loads of money, so I think the pricing at 180k is reasonable. The Urus costs easily 40k more, despite sharing chassis with Audi, Porsche and Bentley.
@@magnustan841 The Urus starts at around 175K in the UK so far I know. It has more power, handles even better, and has more modern tech inside. - That`s why I think that car shouldn`t be in the same price class. I see your point that it is more expensive for them to make but in the end, you need also to justify the price in the market. It`s a tuff competition.
@@marcnobel3938 Plus, the Urus has the brand value of being a Lamborghini, so they can command a big premium. I was going to say Aston may bring down the price if the DBX doesn’t meet sales targets, however, I don’t think it will. At my local Aston dealer, sales have tripled compared to 2019, mostly due to the availability of the DBX. So it seems to be the cash cow Aston really need.
Why can't AM put a home made engine and gearbox in it.After all we build the race engines for the Merc F1 cars.I really don't think AM can call this a British made vehicle.
The suv is just like a normal car in size (except for full size suvs), so why do people go for suvs instead of cars? What is the difference between car and suv and crossover? Isn't this aston more of a crossover?
Hmm...the rear looks very awkward and that bulging “spoiler” below the rear window looks dreadful. The interior is typical Aston Martin...”Mondeo Ghia” and simply not good enough...it is at best,underwhelming. It has plenty of good things going for it but best bought used with a big discount off list...£85/90,000 and it makes more sense. 🙂🙂
I dislike this pretentious fashion of dropping ‘the’ ahead of the car name, which is a proper noun. You wouldn’t say ‘it is in car’ or ‘it is in Fiesta’. Cars are not people.
Fronts ok , rear looks very confused to me , not sure the quality of the interior matches the price tag, black does nothing for the shape and the black wheels when added, add nothing to the look, tbf this SUV sports market is totally lost on me.
Right...hacked off at the Ford Look Comparison. How long after the DB5/DB6 & Vantage did the Ford start to look like an Aston. The DBX is Epic. AMG Engine...So What.
Bently benteyga is different from this it mostly bought by serious people who are not looking at sportiness this to me is not in the same competition as benteyga
Can I have it for free with £25k and Litchfield motors suspension.
The 25k edition? Sure
Wow vedant I would never expect to see you here (nana btw)
I’ll admit, I was rewatching all the Potter films when I filmed this last year. And it’s a British brand, hence the idea. Haha. 😆

Why have us look at you the entire upload. You have a stunning Looking car which we never see. You could have said all that over the top
Love what Aston have done with the exhaust, sounds much nicer than some of the facelift AMG models (impressive for an OPF car too) 🔥
I see you on so many of the videos I watch haha I just have to comment on one of your posts. I also see you on a lot of V8 automotive stuff especially :)
You’re like the Ray Mak of automobiles

Im not keen on the design though...
@@2tp223 what about it?
@@doggedlydetermined7022 The rear is a Little weird with the exhaust pipes being so tiny.
the interior is years behind everyone else
@@wkha6524 not really. Not the newest but certainly modern enough to keep up.

Appreciate the feedback! But I have much to learn.
It looks like a Ford Kuga to me and I can’t unsee it
Unfortunately Aston seems to of out-priced themselves again , especially for the Tech, but aesthetically I love it....
Also a simple re map will see this around 650bhp, I believe my C63s Ed1 got 600.
Luckily the E63S version of this engine which is in this Aston has bigger turbos, so a stage 1 tune is more like 750hp+
Love the special effects, always makes your videos fun to watch 👍
Thanks sir!
The exterior is too nice for that interior!
Right, interior is horrible.
They need the new Mercedes interior... the EQ one
Yet another top class review, thanks Raz. Would love to see you on Top gear
Much more to learn I’m afraid!
@@RemoveBeforeRace You are street ahead of those other guys trust me but appreciate your humbleness !

Dude not just saying but out of all car reviewers who really wind me up with ass kissing comments you are the only one I can watch without cringing.
Great content! Thank you!
No touch screen and no heads up display 🤔 Aston already behind on the tech 🙁
Excellent video, very clever and always balanced. Mentioning things like the competitors also sharing tech and that Aston change fundamentals in the AMG engine and gearbox. Really good
The only automotive channel i'm watching currently.
When I saw the thumbnail I said, THAT IS A NICE FORD!
How is he not at 1 million subs yet???
Absolutely love it. Would either have the DBX or the RSQ8

Great review mate. I would pick the DBX over the Urus.

Wow! That's something else. Aston Martin is definitely having their shit together.
BEST REVIEW OF THE DBX EVER👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The lower exhaust area on this thing looks like two popped pimples and I can’t unsee it!😫😅
Thanks for the nice review. I have read a couple of reviews that are critical of "soft breaks" in the DBX. Did you find this to be the case, as well?
The DBX is the new SUV Champion. Nothing comes close to its looks and NO, it doesn't need a gazillion HP to be the best out there
!
I think it’s the best looking SUV
Why do the rims keep changing?
Harry potter magic!
Couldn't help but notice how the number plate had a J and WW in it 😂😂😂
As SUV’s go it’s One of the best looking cars out there brilliant engine brilliant chassis love the interior it would be nice if it had a more up-to-date infotainment system though looks old compare to some of them in the market
The lift gate glass has quite a rake angle. Is that why they can get away without a rear wiper?
Who was it that tried to get a free suspension + 25k from Lichfield?
Oh, shots fired at Mr JWW...
Been waiting on this..
How does it compare to equivalent Mercedes GLE 500 AMG, that costs £60k less? Bearing in mind, that AMG Merc gets the latest electronics and the optional off road package?
By the way .... Urus has torque vectoring and 4 wheel steering ... hence slightly heavier steering.
It sounds so good.... sounds like £10 min on fuel but sounds great!
Oh hell it’s a Benz!! All the hell ppl give Toyota for the Sup! This a Benz!! Blahhh ! XM5 competition for me!! Great work tho bro! Love your Channel!!
I have an allocation for one. Can’t wait.
Good thing the registration plate is KJ69EWW, not KE69JWW. The car would ask GBP25K and free Litchfield upgrades if it were like that.
I used to really like the green Valkyre one.. Now i like black more 😏, But i'll wait the AMR edition..
If cars with OPF can still sound this good. No other brands have any excuse why their cars (especially the v8/ top of the range cars) are almost silent. Looking at you Audi. Looking at you too Porsche 911.

I hate the idea of reverse RPM gauge, it messes with your mind and not in a good way.
Well ,full year results in 2 weeks time , i think another 30mln loss in q4 and about 130mln in a year.so if iam wrong its mean dbx sells well.
Sounds better then the urus
Why can't AM put a home made engine and gearbox in it.After all we build the race engines for the Merc F1 cars.I really don't think AM can call this a British made vehicle.

Coming!!!

Porsche Cayenne looks so much like it and better reliability

No comparison to the Macan? Front and size looks identical
Not one youtuber edition in sight 😂
What's a UA-camr edition? 😂
@@joshjack6127 JWW edition.
how did they manage to make it sound good with OPF regulations ?
Anyone else think this looks like a Ford Puma that’s taken a shit load of steroids???
Incredible vehicle! 💯💕
They should make a v12 version😊
Aston have absolutely hit this out of the park 🙌🙌 stunning looking it makes the Bentley look like a taxi a ugly one beautiful car no doubt 👌👌
Price doesn't equate to luxury & performance Nifty review, though
is Aston paying you 25k for the review? are we going to see a DBX Mr AMG Edition?
Did you get two cars for review or something happened with the first as it has two different numberplates and rims?

After all that hyperbole we ALL know if money is no matter we all would buy the Urus . Love me some Aston but this is not there esthetically...yet.
