About 2017 Aston Martin DB11


3.3

Overall Rating

Furthermore, the ride features fresh styling and the latest technologies as well. Despite flaunting a fresh styling on the inside as well as the outside, the DB11 V12 maintains the traditional image of an Aston Martin. The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe is a grand tourer.

The new Aston Martin DB11 V12 continues the legacy of blending attention-grabbing style with sheer power. Together with a lightweight build, a torque-vectoring system and a stiff chassis result in agile handling. The dashing looks of the DB11 V12 Coupe resonate with the power-packed performance the ride flaunts to have. The 2017 iteration comes with a newer, refined V12 engine and is priced at $214,820 and thus manages to undercut the competition despite being a luxurious offering.

There are no further trims available for the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe but it gets a range of customization options which is expected of the cars at this price point. One can personalize the car to their taste and budget with the various add-on packages and interior options.

Engine and Performance
9.0/10


The DB11 V12 leads the pack in terms of engine power. The DB11 comes with a 5.2L V12 Twin-Turbo engine under the hood which generates 600 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

The engine is complemented by an 8-speed automatic transmission and it is the gearbox that would make you beam big rather than frown, as Aston seems to have rectified their age-old transmission woes. The power is sent to the rear wheels as standard with no option for an all-wheel-drive drivetrain.

Like the DB11 V12, the Mercedes SL 65 is powered by a V12 which is not only larger than the Aston Martin but also makes more power and torque. The Bentley on the other hand uses the fabled W12 engine which has been tried and tested on various other cars from the Volkswagen-Audi group.

What is the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 0-60 mph Acceleration Performance?

The 2017 iteration of the Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe offers a speedy 0-60 mph acceleration and quarter-mile times. The ride reaches 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.9 seconds, while the DB11 covers the quarter-mile in a remarkable time span of 11.7 seconds and maxes out at a whopping 200 mph.

The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe features a robust and responsive acceleration that is readily available on all gear levels.

The Bentley Continental GT offers better acceleration than that of the Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe. Mercedes-Benz features the slowest 0-60 mph acceleration in the competition that is matched by the Aston. The Aston Martin is the slowest one though in the quarter-mile tests.

What is the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 Coupe's Braking Performance?

The 2017 model year Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe has a powerful and responsive braking system. Sizes for the front and rear brake in DB11 V12 are 15.7 and 14.2 inches, respectively which does a great job of halting the over 4,000 lbs car in just 105 feet in the panic braking test when braking from 60 mph.

The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe has a curb weight of 4080 lbs which makes the coupe the lightest coupe in the competition. The Mercedes, though heavier than the Aston, has the shortest braking distance while the Continental GT is over a thousand pounds heavier than the DB11 and takes a few more feet to stop.

Has the Ride and Handling of the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 improved?

Though not as thrilling as its sportier siblings, the DB11 V12 is still capable of transporting one mile away like no big deal. An ideal grand tourer, the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe offers agile handling coupled with responsive steering. It features an active exhaust system that makes up a harmonious sound as soon as the pedal is kicked-off.

Hearing the smooth, high-pitched sound of classical V12 is a rewarding experience. Moreover, it lets you know that you are obviously riding a grand tourer from Aston Martin. The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe features a toggle present on the right steering-wheel spoke, allowing you to shuffle between various driving modes. Overall, driving the 2017 DB11 V12 is a powerful and pleasing experience as well.

Fuel Economy
5.0/10


The 5.2L V12 Twin-Turbo engine of DB11 is powerful as well as throaty and V12s have never really been known for their fuel efficiency. The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 offers 15 mpg in city driving conditions and 21 mpg out on the highways. The EPA rates the car for a combined fuel economy of 17 mpg. The just over 20 gallons of the gas tank helps the car to be driven for over 300 miles on a gas full of the tank which is not bad for the segment.

Despite having a low fuel economy, the DB11 is the most fuel-efficient car in this comparison while Bentley has the thirstiest of engines. But the Continental GT makes use of a larger fuel tank to compensate for it. The Mercedes on the other hand has a similar fuel tank as that of the Aston and has a lower fuel efficiency which adversely affects the driving range. 

Interior
5.7/10


Like its class rivals, the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 comes with a maximum seating capacity for 4 but the rear seat is almost useless as even middle-school kids would complain about the lack of space on a long journey.

The seating on the other hand is comfy and luxurious as it features black leather with inlays as a standard interior feature. However, there are a number of interior upgrades readily available. The interior trim is clad in rich, exuberant leather and fine finish materials with decorative quilting on leather-upholstered sports seats which enhance the premiumness even further.

The Continental GT offers the most amount of space at the back for its passengers while the premium luxury feature list is also the longest on the Bentley. The Mercedes offers only two seats and has loads of space and is also the most tech-laden of them all. Some of the key interior features in the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 are: 

  • 12-Way Power Adjustable Front Seats with Power 4-Way Lumbar Support and Power Rear Seat Easy Entry
  • Heated Front Sport Bucket Strathmore Leather Seats with 3 memory positions
  • Bucket Strathmore Leather Rear Seats
  • Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column with Leather Steering Wheel
  • Dual-Zone Automatic Air Conditioning
  • Full Alcantara Simulated Suede Headliner

2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe is the first in line to enjoy technical perks gained from partnering with Mercedes-Benz. Thank goodness, the latest iteration of Aston Martin ditched the irritating infotainment system for Mercedes-Benz's COMAND-like infotainment system. Though most features remain the same, the graphics are altered for matching the Aston persona.

The infotainment system is complemented by a central 8-inch TFT display. It gives out navigation as well as music content with an excellent resolution. Below the screen is a haptic touch panel. It is there for switching modes and controlling volume. Nonetheless, the 12-inch digital instrument cluster is a disappointment requiring amendments. Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration are available.

  • 8.0-inch infotainment system with touchpad controller
  • 9-Speakers 400-watt Aston Martin audio system
  • SiriusXM Satellite Radio system
  • iPod and iPhone integration
  • Bluetooth audio and phone streaming
  • Integrated Navigation System w/Voice Activation

How much is the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 Cargo capacity?

Aston Martin cars aren't known for holding loads of cargo. The same is true for the DB11 V12 Coupe. There is only 9.5 cubic-feet of total cargo space available that is in fact sufficient to haul a weekend’s worth of luggage for the four people it can seat. If not, one can make use of the rear seats for carrying luggage as no other passenger would probably want to be stuck at the back for long journeys.

The Bentley Continental GT offers the most cargo capacity in the competition as it is capable of holding onto 12.6 cubic-feet of cargo. The Mercedes AMG SL 65 has a marginally smaller trunk capacity than that of the DB11. Also, who buys an Aston Martin or the Bentley for its hauling prowess?

Exterior
9.9/10


The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 has a fresh approach to it as it now looks different from all the offerings from the carmaker and that’s a good sign. It can finally stand out in the crowd of Aston Martin as it has very little resemblance to its siblings. It is underpinned by a lighter aluminum architecture to save weight and complement the increase in power. 

The sleek LED headlamps and tail lights provide a modern and future-ready look while the wide front air dam with horizontal grille complements it. The large rims with fat rubbers, the dual exhaust tips, and the air diffuser both at the front and the rear remind of the performance it packs.

Aston Martin DB11 vs Bentley Continental GT

The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 Coupe received competition from another grand touring coupe, the famous Bentley Continental GT. Just like the DB11, Continental GT features a large 12-cylinder engine and loads of power.

There isn't much difference in the pricing either as the pricing for the Bentley Continental GT starts from $217,325 which is marginally more than the starting price of the Aston Martin DB11. But, the Bentley offers superior performance and luxury as compared to the DB11. It also offers more space for both the passengers and their cargo. 

Aston Martin DB11 vs Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 65

The Mercedes-Benz AMG SL 65 is surprisingly more expensive than the DB11 but then it offers a lot more power and torque which results in marginally better acceleration performance but superior braking performance. The DB11 on the other hand has a more frugal engine and also has seating for four instead of two on the SL 65.

The trunk too is slightly larger while the luxury quotient is also higher in an Aston Martin. There are few standard safety features on offer in the Mercedes which are optional in the Aston, but the sheer experience in the Aston Martin is better than it is in the Mercedes.

Final Verdict


The most important aspect of the 2017 Aston Martin DB11 V12 is the ride quality. No matter whether you need to transport to just a couple of miles or hundreds of them, the journey remains enjoyable. Moreover, the latest upgrade to the infotainment system is highly appreciable. The 2017 iteration of the DB11 replaces the naturally aspirated snarl from the engine with a deep-throated roar. However, the new 8-speed automatic might be the ride's wobbliest feature, mostly owing to software issues. All in all, the 2017 DB11 V12 Coupe is an impressive grand tourer that not everyone can afford but anyone who can definitely cherish driving it.
