Here it is – our in‑depth look at Aston Martin SUV engine options
Aston Martin entered the luxury‑SUV market with the DBX, a vehicle that blends British craftsmanship with sports‑car performance. Since its debut, the brand has expanded the power‑train lineup to cater to drivers who demand both refinement and raw power. Below is a detailed guide to the current and upcoming engine choices for the Aston Martin DBX.
Current power‑train family
The DBX is equipped with two primary internal‑combustion engines, each paired with an eight‑speed ZF automatic transmission. Both engines are built in collaboration with Mercedes‑AMG, ensuring reliability and a high level of engineering integration.
- 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 – The standard‑spec DBX uses this 4.0‑litre V8, delivering 542 hp (400 kW) and 700 Nm of torque. It propels the SUV from 0‑100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.
- 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 (performance tune) – In the DBX 707 trim, the same V8 receives a software upgrade, raising output to 617 hp (456 kW) and 770 Nm of torque, shaving the 0‑100 km/h time to 4.3 seconds.
Both V8 variants share a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system that assists the starter‑generator during acceleration and improves fuel efficiency. The system recovers energy under braking and can provide a brief torque boost of up to 30 Nm.
