Aston Martin DBX707 revamp: Super SUV gains new interior and infotainment and ditches the less powerful version

The 2025 Aston Martin DBX707 has already arrived. 

The British marque’s best-selling model is back with additional luxury, a bespoke infotainment system… and a higher price tag.

Major changes to the luxurious five-seat 4X4 include a more sumptuous interior and infotainment upgrades, but there are also a few tweaks to the exterior styling and it’s brutish performance.

But these enhancements don’t come cheap! 

When the new version goes on sale this spring, expect to pay an eye-watering £205,000 – that’s a £10,000 premium on the existing price tag of £195,000.

And it’s high-power only for the DBX from now on, with just the top-of-the-range 707 powertrain arriving for summer delivery.

The new Aston Martin DBX707 is available to buy this spring, with deliveries coming in the summer. The SUV will now only be available as the 707 high performance version, with the standard 542hp version now discontinued

Most of the changes happen in the interior, with Aston Martin giving it a refresh of materials, tech, and added extras. Tangerine interior is – fortunately – one of many options

Aston Martin BDX – what’s new? 

The interior refresh starts with the introduction of Aston Martin’s new-generation multi-screen infotainment system.

The driver’s now gets a 12.3-inch instrument cluster – some 1.5 inches larger than the DB12 or Vantage displays. 

And the central 10.25-inch touchscreen comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, full online connectivity and single and multi-finger gesture control – a bit like the BMW gesture system.

But the British marque hasn’t stripped the cockpit of control switches; buttons are still very much present for heating and ventilation, as well as hand control switches for suspension, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), lane keep assist and park distance control.

The luxury performance car maker said: ‘This continues Aston Martin’s philosophy of creating the perfect blend between digital and analogue controls’ – a welcome concept given safety bodies have called for car makers to dial-back their reliance of tounchscreen systems and safety group Euro NCAP warned it would downgrade models that ditch simple buttons to main controls. 

The DBX interior upgrade includes a new 12.3-inch cockpit for the driver, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen now made bespoke by Aston Martin and an optional  23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system 

There are three interior trims to choose from: Inspire Comfort, Inspire Sport and Accelerate – all of which you can customise through the Q by Aston Martin service

While screens have been updated, the DBX still comes with a helpful and healthy amount of dials and buttons, including manual temp, fan and volume adjustors 

Yet the DBX707 cabin manages to feel clean and contemporary, with reshaped D-pull door handles, a new steering wheel, vertical air vents – and bright or dark chrome accent options. 

Music lovers can add a 23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system for incredible sound.

The range of materials has expanded for added sports car meets modern luxury feel, with gloss smoked oak and carbon door veneers just a couple of the sleek new choices.

Inspire Comfort, Inspire Sport and Accelerate are the three trim options; each of which has different quilting and materials, and all of which you can customise individually through the Q by Aston Martin service.

Exterior changes are pretty minimal – ‘tweaks’ rather than changes. The revised DBX has five new paint schemes, Aston Martin’s latest ‘Wings’ badge and two new 23-inch alloy wheel designs.

The door handles now ‘pop-out’ when the car’s unlocked and the new frameless door mirrors swivel to improve rearward visibility and better support the Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras.

Exterior tweaks to the DBX are minimal, but include new ‘pop-out’ door handles at lie flat to the car and then pop-out to welcome you, while the wing mirrors are now frameless and swivel to improve safety

The DBX will still be powered by a 707hp 4.0-litre twin-turbo-charged V8 engine linked to a 9-speed automatic gearbox. It does 0-60 in just 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 193mph

Want one? You have only the option of the 707bhp model

Underneath, the British supercar and sportscar maker’s revamped DBX707 retains the same underpinnings it has had since launch in 2022.

It’ll still be powered by a 707hp 4.0-litre twin-turbo-charged V8 engine linked to a 9-speed automatic gearbox and will cover 0-to-60mph in just 3.1 seconds. 

Top speed will be 193mph.

If you didn’t hear the DBX coming before you’ll hear it now, thanks to the revised exhaust system which kicks out that V8 sound more consistently with three extra modes. 

Better calibrated electronic dampers and air springs aim to boost body control to improve dynamic performance and driver experience, but fuel consumption isn’t  enjoyable for the wallet – only 20mpg.

The change to a one-engine offering – the lower-powered 542bhp version has been dropped – is down to the fact that the 707 out-sold its lower performance counterpart by almost two-thirds last year. 

Following the new DBX closely will be a V12 new DBS, and Aston Martin’s announcement it’s going to keep selling combustion cars for as long as its allowed to.
