Interior
8.9/10

The 2023 Aston Martin DB11 provides an upscale and premium interior with the majority of the cabin covered with high quality interior. The 2023 edition is expected to provide the same color-split environments as its predecessors (Create, Accelerate, and Inspire) that determine how the colors are applied to leather seats and to the overall cabin. These are categorized into a monotone, duotone, and light duotone options. The car is a four seater but the rear seats are cramped and make it difficult for an adult to sit comfortably. The coupe comes with standard interior features like cruise control with a speed limiter, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats with a three-position memory system, heated front seats, front/rear parking sensors, an electronic instrument cluster, and a 360-degree camera system.

The complete data for the interior dimensions of the Aston Martin DB11, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Mclaren GT, and the Bentley Continental GT is yet to be determined. The Mclaren GT is the only coupe among the rivals that is a two seater. It comes with the largest cargo space in the segment. All the rivals feature an attractive interior but, in our view, the DB11 and the Continental GT come with the more appealing cabins due to their well-put layout and high quality material. 

Some of the key interior features available with the 2023 Aston Martin DB11 include:

  • Power adjustable seats
  • Heated front seats
  • Three position memory system
  • 360 degree camera system
  • Imitation leather headliner
  • Dual zone automatic climate control

How intuitive is the 2023 Aston Martin DB11 infotainment system?

The brand is set to upgrade the touchscreen interface of the DB11 with its 2023 edition. The coupe has Mercedes' infotainment system, which is clear and logically arranged but feels lagging behind the latest systems with its 8-inch LCD screen. The infotainment system comes with or without a touchpad controller as per the customer’s demand. It comes with a number of connectivity and utility features such as a SiriusXM satellite radio, navigation, USB audio playback, Bluetooth connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and iPod/iPhone integration. The car is expected to provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay which were missing in the 2022 model. The DB11 comes with a 400-watt 9-speaker sound system, however, a 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen optional upgrade is more appropriate for such a high-end car.

Some of the most notable infotainment features available with the 2023 Aston Martin DB11 include:

  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Navigation
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • iPod/iPhone integration
  • Bang & Olufsen sound system
  • Digital gauge cluster

Exterior
8.9/10

While the DB11 retains the original long hood and narrow side windows, it does get a wider grille, slightly reshaped headlights. The 2023 edition is coming with more upgrades to the front face, while the rear is expected to be the same as before. The coupe with V8 engines gets power-folding exterior mirrors, 20-inch wheels with Bridgestone Potenza S007 summer performance tires, black hood meshes, and a graphite splitter, diffuser, and sills. With the V12 engine, the graphite lower body of the V8 is replaced by the gloss black lower body. The coupe stands at 50.8 inches and comes with a wheelbase of 110.4 inches.

The DB11 comes with an attractive exterior profile that stands in between the racecar look of McLaren GT and subtle Bentley styling.
