The Aston Martin DBX707 is the British brand’s attempt at making the ultimate SUV.

The British carmaker is not holding back when it comes to newest product. The new DBX707 will be the fastest, most powerful and best handling, according to Aston Martin and those are lofty targets, especially considering the competition.

The 707 name reflects its output and the 4.0-litre biturbo AMG-sourced petrol engine has been given an upgrade. The turbos have been replaced by more powerful units, the engine has been recalibrated to deliver more power and torque, and there’s a new 9-speed transmission. Outputs of 520 kW and 900 Nm comfortably lift it above everything else in the luxury sports SUV segment. It’s only the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk that can match the outright power, with 522 kW from its supercharged V8.

The power increase gives the Aston Martin DBX707 a claimed sprint time of 3.3 seconds to 100 kph, thanks to the new gearbox which features much faster changes.

It’s not all about straight-line performance either and the Aston Martin DBX707 features carbon ceramic brakes which are lighter than the standard car’s stoppers by 40 kg. The vehicle rides on massive 23-inch alloy wheels and there’s an update version of the electronic limited slip rear differential, which has to safely accommodate the 900 Nm. It can cleverly send up to 100% of the available power to the rear axle. Could we see some proper sideways action in the new Aston Martin DBX707? We’ll have to wait and see.

There are extensive upgrades and revisions to the air suspension, chassis tuning, electronic power steering as well as the all-wheel drive system.

Inside, the Aston Martin DBX707 features a revised lower console with new drive mode switchgear as well as sport seats that are fitted as standard. All of the seats have 16-way adjustment, plus heating functionality. Customers have extensive customisation programs available and Aston Martin by Q will be on hand to tailor a unique vehicle.

The new model from Aston Martin gains a large front grille, redesign daytime-running lights, new intakes and cooling ducts as well a functional rear diffuser and wing. The exhaust tips are larger too.

Production of the Aston Martin DBX707 is set to begin in the first quarter of 2022, with customers receiving the first cars by the middle of 2022.
