I ordered one in Apex Grey six weeks ago. Yes, the car is not cheap; yes, I added $80k in options. And of course, the driving experience is incredible; it's the most powerful non-hybrid SUV ever made. This video isn't the greatest representation of it—hopefully Chris #2 or Tom can cover it better. I'm open to answering any questions y'all have!

- I have to say…if there’s always been a quality that’s drawn me towards my favorite cars, it’s those that are off the beaten path and not the typical or most well-known choice in the segment. So many hidden gems in the auto industry that just not everyone’s aware of!
- People will ask why its 300k, its not because of the specs its because of the details. I doubt theres any plastic garbabe or cheap feeling things on this. Even a 100k mercedes will feel cheap these days. Also the specs aren't bad lol.
- Ok i was wrong, piano black plastic everywhere, overly digital gauge cluster. But otherwise not horrible ig, maybe my expectations are too high, some people like it this way.
- I don't like SUVs either which was why I've bought my 3rd convertible in a row, the wonderful CLE 450. It's more power than any reasonable person would want, high technology and a nice looking interior.
- I've had two of these - brand new. The first one lasted two weeks and then the gearbox was totally shot. The second one lasted 80 miles and went into an electrical melt down. Don't even ask about Aston Martin Service, suffice to say it's not a service. I love Astons, I've owned several of them but I really don't know how I could ever trust the brand again..
- Love Aston's and have one myself BUT ...why on earth have they managed to use the 'S' badge from a Honda slightly cooking model of several years ago? Could they not have come up with a design to match the italics of the rest of the Aston badging?
- So it has integration with CarPlay - what about Android Auto?? And touchscreen expansion makes it LESS SAFE to change settings when driving. Buttons/swtiches/knobs are better for safe driving because you don't need to takes your eyes off the road to see what you're changing
- Yesterday, I had the privilege of racing against this car on the highway. It took like 0.1 seconds to beat my old car lol and it went literally disappeared like in seconds into the future.
And about the sound of the car, I will never forget that sound. Wild.
- I still don't see the point in the performance and super SUV (there is nothing sporty and performance about big boxes on the wheels), but if there is one that I would actully have (if I had the money) is this simply stunning looking Aston Martin DBX, for me far better than anything in this class form others like Ferrari, Lamborghini,... Rory, this is your kind of family hauler :)
- This is the one I'd have among all the hyper SUVs. There's no more prestigious badge than Aston (Well, there's Rolls, but the Cullinan is grotesque), and I wouldn't be seen dead in a Urus. The new Cayenne looks interesting, but I'll take the Aston. Now, where's that Euromillions ticket....
- Actually you are kind of missing the point. Aston installed quite bigger turbos on it so it has a lot more tuning potential. Bring this one for proper remap and it will be a fire breathing monster that will leave the likes of Purosangues in the dust!
- Oh no they added the Valhalla twin turbos oh Jesus Christ do they have some bones to pick with the others as in Ferrari Lamborghini and Porsche
Two I also like that it has no soft limiter and they found a way to make the exhaust help the engine breathe and have the actual engine exhaust sound come out the back and the interior isn't so techno flashy it just looks like it came from the early 2000s but with a slight upgrade I'm surprised Aston Martin didn't go the big ass touch screen route which is rare that's why I like this SUV over the other it's something I would buy if I have the money for the carbon options just to show off but you know anyway the normal one I would buy but right now I don't have a stable job and I don't even know if it's going to come to here in the United States
- Im an Aston long time owner of many models including currently a "normal" DBX. Which is sporty and very quick enough - we do have speed limits which reporters often seem to forget I just cant understand why a company with such limited resources is spending development time to bring this car to market - what is the point of such performance linked to 12mpg (I was getting 34 from my Range Rover diesel) when they surely should be/have a hybrid I think this is very flawed marketing and Rory I love your reviews but your constant banging on as if owners buy a car for Apple car play is not representing the age profile of the older richer people who buy these cars - we just expect the phone to connect And you dont mention and you always should the total price it is not a minor detail!
