Well, you do not have trim options for the 2021 Aston Martin DBX to choose from but you do have a wide variety of packages to choose from. Get a pet pack for your dog or a field sports pack to enjoy the most adventurous trip of your life, yet at a price better than the Urus.
". While the DBX is fundamentally rear-wheel drive, a center transfer case sends torque to the front axle when slippage is detected at the rear, and there is also a limited-slip rear differential." - Car and Driver
Aston Martin uses the V8 sourced from AMG and this 4.0L engine manages to churn out 542 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The engine is coupled to a 9-speed automatic transmission, giving a wider gear ratio and better fuel economy and performance. However, if we compare this all-wheel-drive SUV with other adversaries, the output figures for DBX are the lowest. However, the specs are in tune with its $176,900 price tag.
Torque distribution is brilliant because of the all-wheel drive and so are the off-roading capabilities. The aluminum body structure keeps things light for it and helps in maintaining stability. Since this SUV is also supposed to be sporty, it has used carbon-fiber one-piece prop-shaft technology which is inspired by other sports cars. However, history suggests that the Aston Martin DBX isn't the best drive.

In the case of the DBX, the acceleration takes a little more time than the rivals to throw you back in your seats! The car takes 4.3 seconds to change its velocity from zero to 60mph and has a top speed of 181mph. A quarter-mile is covered in 11.7 seconds. Again, the Lamborghini is a clear winner here followed by Bentley.
Hence, the DBX is not the ultimate performance machine if you compare it to the Urus, but the Urus is more expensive than the DBX which justifies its extra performance. In many test reviews and drives, the DBX has been praised for its capability to deaccelerate rather than accelerate.
The 2021 DBX might be the British Carmaker's first take on the SUV segment, however, handling and driving dynamics are no strange topics to Aston Martin. For quite some decades now, Aston Martin has given us some of the best handling cars to date and the 2021 Aston Martin DBX follows in the same footsteps. The DBX feels very agile at low speeds, and as you get closer to the limit, the 2021 DBX becomes even sharper.
"However, we haven't had a chance to evaluate its real-world mpg on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen." - Car and Driver
If you are concerned about your gas mileage, then Aston Martin DBX will not disappoint you with its scorecard. You can drive 14 mpg in the city, 18 miles on the highway and that together give you a combined average of 15. The vehicle has the smallest fuel tank, measuring 19.7 gallons. Thus, the DBX strikes a perfect balance between performance and frugality especially if you compare it to its current rivals.

As compared to the rivals, the 2021 Bentley Bentayga is one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in the segment. With a combined mileage of 18 miles to the gallon, the Bentayga proves to be more efficient on the freeways. The Lamborghini Urus proves to be the least efficient in terms of mpg, with a combined average of 14 mpg.
"While every model has a large 10.2-inch infotainment screen, it doesn't respond to touch inputs." - Car and Driver
The interior of the 2021 Aston Martin DBX is a work of art as they say! You’ll want to hug the sports seats that are clad in leather! The use of metals and wood inserts has been done very thoughtfully, just as you deserve at $176,900. Fitted with heated and cooled seats and a ton of entertainment features it offers, it is a fabulous offering.
Apart from that, it floods you with optional packages and accessories that you will absolutely adore. For example, there is an optional bike pack, adventure pack, snowpack, pet pack, and even a field sports pack. You can get ‘Wool fabric’ seats as well!

The trunk space is 22.5 cubic feet and offers a maximum of 54 cubic feet. There are big door pockets and you can charge your smartphones with the wireless charging pad. Aston Martin is a large-hearted carrier considerate about you, your pets, your luggage, and your little things too. The space at the front and back is good enough for 5 occupants. Some highlight features are:
It is said- ‘Entertainment is in the presentation’ and the 2021 Aston Martin DBX impresses us with its 10.25-inch display and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver. So you travel or drive hassle-free. It has all the urban technological features you can possibly think of- HD radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Hotspot, and MP3 player.
One heads up! There is no Android Auto integration and the users might express some displeasure! You also get navigation controls and Apple CarPlay as well. The 2021 Aston Martin DBX will set you back at about $176,900 and therefore the list of features has to match that value for money.
"It's also maybe the best Aston Martin ever, at least from a certain point of view." - Motor Trend
Intelligence will never stop being beautiful! Aston Martin has one intelligent team to make sure that you identify the 2021 Aston Martin DBX as a drop-dead gorgeous Martin car from a distance and yet do not take your eyes off because of its unique elements. So it flaunts the DB signature grille and frameless doors by the company but is a little taller and features a coupe-like roof.
The company has done its homework well and has come with improved aerodynamics as well. A portion of the chassis is integrated with some ducts to allow brakes to cool faster. The 2021 Aston Martin DBX follows a similar body style as its other siblings and the proportions of the 2021 DBX are however pleasing.

LED headlights and taillights are sleek and the LED daytime running lights have been placed attractively and just at the right place. The taillights create a lightbar design which again stands out from the other SUV crowd. The Aston Martin lettering at the front center announces its bold styling. Sheer brilliance! Talking of dimensions, while it is heavier than the Lamborghini, the curb weight (4949 lbs) is less than that of Range Rover or Bentayga.
"The DBX is available with some driver-assistance technology, but the roster is surprisingly absent of content such as lane-keeping assist." - Car and Driver
Safety is not expensive, it is priceless! Yours definitely is. Good car companies understand that and shoulder the responsibility of your safety well. The 2021 Aston Martin DBX has all active safety features to keep you secure. The car has however not been crash-tested yet and we expect that to happen in 2021.
As standard, you will find some of the most high-tech features like Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Braking system, Pedestrian detection system, Traffic sign recognition, and Blindspot warning. The other important features also include:
Urus is ferocious while DBX is gracious. That is the major highlight difference between the two, be it outside, inside, or even on the road! The exterior and interior styling is assertive for Urus and it is sportier than the DBX. Aston Martin is a style statement inside and out, It uses the best of materials and is more of a relaxed family car. The output figures and sprinting performance speak in favor of Urus but the fuel efficiency is a bummer.
The Range Rover SVAutobiography is again a top-tier trim with beasty qualities and a sumptuous atmosphere on the inside. It has excellent off-roading capabilities, towing capacity, and cargo capacity. It produces more power and similar torque as compared to DBX. But then it accelerates slower and delivers fewer miles per gallon. Aston Martin is more classy and comfortable.
While the basic model of Bentley starts at a lower price than Aston Martin, we have here compared it with top-tier trim. Both are lavish and practical cars with good cabin space. Note that, Bentley brought SUVs years back and DBX SUV is all new so it is more modern on the inside. But then Bentley gives you powertrain options and in fact, also has a hybrid powertrain option. The beasty Bentayga delivers more output and acceleration than the DBX. We join the Bentley team here since it is more of an all-rounder!
The 2021 Aston Martin DBX has the innate performance capabilities of Aston Martin, is elegant personified, and uses state-of-the-art technology. It is your everyday family car and also your sporty adventure partner in crime. The price tag is justified too at $176,900. The rivals better need to be prepared for some serious head-to-head competition. The 2021 Aston Martin DBX SUV will be totally worth your time and money.
