“The Aston Martin DBX is a little late to the super-SUV party but, if you’ve been waiting for a luxurious, ultra-exclusive off-roader that really does handle as well as a sports car, look no further. We know, we couldn’t believe it, either.”

“A huge frustration is that the standard DBX infotainment system remains. It’s badly in need of an update in terms of both the software running it and the hardware controlling it.”

“The Aston Martin DBX isn’t quite as practical, capable or refined as some rivals, but it offers so much more usability and adaptability than any other Aston to date, and yet it still drives like so many big, burbling and engaging Astons – and that is a real achievement.”

“Is there a better SUV at this lofty level? We’re not sure there is. The DBX and 707 models are right up there with the best Porsche SUVs and far more involving than a BMW X6 M or Audi RS Q8. Only Jaguar’s F-Pace SVR and Alfa’s Stelvio Quadrifoglio come close for enjoyment.”

“The Aston Martin DBX is a modern masterpiece that’s somehow both a consummate family car and absolutely an Aston Martin. Full of character and more engaging to drive than we ever dared dream, rather than tainting the badge it wears the DBX actually makes it shine all the brighter.”

“The first Aston Martin SUV is a joy to drive, and can carry four adults and their luggage across almost any terrain in style”

“While many of the DBX’s biggest rival 4X4s are real beasts, the Aston Martin DBX is – both on the road and in its handling – a real beauty that will appeal as much to women as to men.”

“The DBX is crucial to Aston Martin’s future so it’s great news that the car is so good and capable. However, the job’s not done yet because this motor is old school – in other words, the range is lacking a hybrid or ­electrified powertrain.”

“The Aston Martin DBX is a comfortable and capable SUV with sports car handling underneath whether in normal or sporting modes.”

“The 697bhp DBX707 is big, brash and financially friendly for Aston Martin, but also comes with some deftness to its chassis.” (Stuart Gallagher)

“It was never going to be perfect, was it? More importantly for Aston Martin, it had to look right, perform properly and drive in such a way as to carry those wings on its nose with conviction. And to me, at least, it does all those things. For Aston Martin, that must surely count as job done.”

“The Aston Martin DBX is pretty and brilliant at the things you’ll want it for 5% of the time: Going fast or going down a forest track. But it’s rubbish at the things you’ll want it for 95% of the time: Simple tech for day-to-day living.”

“The Aston Martin DBX begins to make sense when you compare it to its rivals. Until you remember the Range Rover, which is the original and best.” (Jeremy Clarkson)

“The Aston Martin DBX is swift and it rides beautifully (as long as you choose the right tyres) and it’s right up there with the best in its handling. There are a few faults and it cannot hide its Mercedes-AMG drivetrain, but for those with the wherewithal it’s a contender.”

“There are drawbacks that will irritate buyers everywhere though. Not the £189,000 sticker price (£30k up on standard) – that just helps ensure exclusively. There’s still no touchscreen.”

“Aston’s first ever SUV is an interesting, exciting thing. Little late to the party, but feels different, and like an Aston.”

“Despite being late to the party, the Aston Martin DBX brings something new to the luxury performance SUV table: namely, a genuinely fun driving experience. The fact that it also offers a luxurious and spacious driving environment rounds off a unique and altogether compelling package.”
