Overview

The 2023 Aston Martin DBX is a proud member of the mid-size SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Bentley Bentayga, the Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS, and the Lamborghini Urus. With a standalone trim, the DBX has a base price of MSRP $188,900. Its 4.0L Twin-turbocharged V8 engine and 9-Speed Automatic transmission give the SUV 542 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 3.9 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 5,900 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the DBX manages to get a combined EPA rating of 16 MPG, which is just average for the class with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 7.5 inches. 

Buying Advice

The 2023 Aston Martin DBX neither is the fastest of the lot nor the most generous in terms of driver-assist and convenience features. However, it aces what one would expect from an Aston Martin, that is quality and class. If these are the reasons for you to be in the market for a new SUV, DBX shouldn’t disappoint.
