The new DBX707 is an "SUV like no other, one that elevates Aston Martin to the pinnacle of the segment", it has been stressed.
The SUV offers a "unique combination of blistering performance, supreme dynamics, unmistakable style and absolute luxury. Engineered with an abundance of character and compelling capability, DBX707 is the ultimate SUV in every respect", according to a press statement issued in Doha by Alfardan Luxury Motors Co, the official dealer for Aston Martin in Qatar.
"Fastest. Most powerful. Best handling. Three accolades for which the DBX707 was conceived to claim. Not by blindly chasing benchmarks but achieved on its own terms and in its own inimitable way. For Aston Martin, this meant ensuring there is nuance behind the numbers - that’s to say world-beating power and pace matched by exceptional precision, dynamic flair and genuine engagement for an addictive and uniquely impressive driving experience. A sabre in a segment of sledgehammers," the statement points out.
Taking the V8 DBX’s widely acclaimed design, dynamics and driver-pleasing character as its starting point, DBX707 builds brilliantly on those authentic sporting attributes. Every area of the car has been enhanced to boost performance, intensify driving pleasure and amplify its on-road presence.
Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers said, “Right from its first introduction, the DBX has represented Aston Martin’s dynamic and design values in a way that proves not all SUVs have to conform to the same compromises. With the DBX707, we have pushed the boundaries in every area to create a car which sets new standards of performance and desirability. The fastest, most powerful, best handling and most engaging car of its kind, it propels
Aston Martin to the pinnacle of SUV performance."
Starting with the powertrain, Aston Martin’s engineering team set about realising the full potential of the DBX’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8. Led by Aston Martin’s head of Powertrain Engineering, Ralph Illenberger, the DBX707’s engine now features ball bearing turbochargers and a bespoke
engine calibration to liberate more power and torque. Also new to Aston Martin’s flagship high performance SUV is a 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic transmission. Capable of managing much increased torque loadings compared with a regular torque converter automatic, this high-
performance transmission allows output of the 4.0-litre V8 to be lifted to an immense 707PS and 900Nm, increases of 157PS and 200Nm over the DBX (V8).
Launch capability is also improved, which contributes towards the DBX707’s 0-62mph time of 3.3 seconds.
Illenberger said, “With this exceptional new model, we have truly unlocked the performance potential within the DBX to create a world beating high-performance SUV."
Integral to the DBX707’s suite of performance enhancements is the standard fitment of Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Measuring 420mm front and 390mm rear, these CCB discs are gripped by 6-piston calipers and result in a 40.5kg reduction in unsprung weight. Revisions to the braking system’s hydraulic sizing and booster tune improve pedal feel and braking response for greater precision and driver confidence.
To underline the DBX707’s driver-focussed credentials there have also been some changes and enhancements to the Dynamic Drive modes. 'Race Start' is available in GT Sport and Sport+ modes to maximise off-the-line acceleration and truly showcase the enhanced performance.
Aston Martin’s head of Vehicle Engineering and Procurement, Drummond Jacoy, added: “Engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, electronic systems and aerodynamics have all been subject to extensive enhancement and meticulous tuning. The result is a car that sets new standards and further distinguishes the DBX from its class rivals.”
In the spirit of placing the driver in control, the DBX707 introduces a revised lower console containing new drive mode selection switches. Now, rather than having to enter a sub-menu within the infotainment system, the driver has immediate fingertip control of key dynamic modes and setting.
In keeping with its extensive engineering upgrades, the exterior and interior of the DBX707 have received an equally thorough design makeover. The result is spectacular - overtly sporting but with the style and attention to detail for which Aston Martin is rightly celebrated.
Aston Martin’s chief creative officer, Marek Reichman, said: “When you are the alpha SUV, you don’t have to try too hard, therefore, we concentrated on those areas of the design that would make the DBX707 instantly recognisable as the highest performing model."
The sporting theme continues inside with Sport seats fitted as standard (Comfort seats are available as a no-cost option). All seat options come with 16-way electric adjustment plus heating in front and rear as standard.
For customers looking to further enhance the exclusive nature of DBX707 and create something truly unique, Q by Aston Martin, the brand's bespoke service, delivers the ultimate in personalisation.
Offering an extensive palette of options, from unique graphics through to tinted carbons and bespoke materials on both the interior and exterior, each ‘Q by Aston Martin – Commission’ car canpush the boundaries of desire and is completely tailored to the customer.
