    The Aston Martin DBX is the first ever SUV from the prestigious British manufacturer. It's powered by a 542bhp V8 engine and has a luxurious interior worthy of its six-figure price tag. But can it beat established super-SUV rivals like the Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga? Richard Ingram takes the DBX to the track to find out.

    No touchscreen, unlike my Ford Focus. No Android Auto either. Outside, the DBX looks amazing. But when you're shelling out that much money, the poor equipment level is pretty disappointing.

    The big beef for me is if you're really going to take a Sports Car brand into the SUV market and do it right, you need to keep focus on your roots in Racing.
    The success of the Ford Raptor is significantly bolstered by Ford developing and fielding that truck as a stock entry in the Baja 1000.
    If Aston Martin is serious about DBX we need to see a team of these things finish the Dakar.

      @carbuyer  3 роки тому +3

      That's a very good question, but likely someone considering a DBX wouldn't give the F-Pace SVR a second look. That's not to say the Jaguar isn't a fantastic performance SUV, though...

      @@carbuyer I disagree. I do not think people know. In a similar analogy we are seeing people who would never buy a Corvette, arenow in the market lining up for Corvette. I just think there was a great amount of publicity to how awesome the Corvette was.
      But do not see many people comparing the DBX to F Pace SVR. Maybe you could do that as one of your next vids.

      @@carbuyer agreed. While the Jag SVR is certainly a good looking and sounding vehicle, with the LR Jag reliability issues it just isn't something worth the effort imo. Aston is just in a different league on this one, although I would go further and say I'd like a V12 in the DBX. It's the classic Aston sound after all (!).

    Aston should get a refund from Mercedes. Forget MBUX, there are newer systems in the new S Class and the EQS. This is an Aston - I want to be vowed, instead they’ve given us a system bettered by the A Class, a glorified hatchback. UNBELIEVABLE.

    • @carbuyer

    Why not buy a modern Mercedes like an EQC Instead of wasting your money on a last century power ICE car .You could invest your money for a couple of years, and get the same suv from Aston Martin in 2025 as a hybrid or in 2030 as the full electric version. I just saw the review today on the late brake show maybe you could also consider the New Porsche Cross Turismo EV’s.

    Loved the exterior design overall, except for the front bumber daylight lamps, they need to change the shape of it, give it a sharper aggressive look which would compliment the car's overall sporty design. Hate the interior central console & display, simply for the fact that it's borrowed from AMG and is dated. Such a shame for an otherwise beautiful car. And lastly, would love to see a more powerful engine which would do justice to the car's overall design, which is screaming "Powerful, Fast & Sexy" all the way. Do all that and you get the best selling SUV in it's range in the market. Waiting for the next improved version, with all the much needed changes in the hopes of owning one myself. But for now, it's a thumbs down. 👎 Sorry Aston Martin. 🙁
