The Aston Martin DBX arrived in 2019 as the brand’s first SUV. It brought the design and engineering of the company’s sports cars to an elevated five-seat model powered by a V8. The DBX has since grown into a small family. The DBX707 added a significant step in power, and the newer DBX S and DBX GT take that output in two separate directions, one towards a sharper drive and the other towards comfort over long distances.
With just 20 CV between the DBX707, DBX S and DBX GT, the real distinction lies in how each car is set up and finished. This comparison looks at those differences across the engineering, exterior, interior and specifications of all four versions.
A closer look at the Aston Martin DBX GT, DBX S, DBX707 and DBX
DBX GT
The DBX GT has the same 727 CV output as the DBX S, but its suspension and transmission settings are tailored for a smoother, more settled ride. That emphasis carries through the rest of the car, with revised seats, additional sound insulation and quieter exterior details. First deliveries are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
DBX S
The DBX S sits at the other end of that balance and is the most sporting version in the range. Its V8 also produces 727 CV, and a faster steering ratio and revised gearbox calibration sharpen the way the car responds to the driver. For owners who want to take a step further, optional carbon-fibre and magnesium components reduce weight.
DBX707
Before the S and the GT, the DBX707 established the high-performance DBX. Its 707 CV V8 is paired with a nine-speed wet-clutch transmission and carbon-ceramic brakes, while the chassis and all-wheel-drive system were developed to keep that acceleration controlled and to put the power down with good traction.
DBX
The original DBX is the model that started it all. With 550 CV and a nine-speed automatic transmission, it was tuned to balance performance with comfort and everyday versatility. Since production ended in 2024, official Aston Martin dealerships no longer sell this version. Buyers who want it will find it on the pre-owned market.
Exterior features of the Aston Martin DBX
DBX GT
Of the four versions, the GT has the most discreet look. A double-vaned grille sits above a body-coloured lower bumper, and the sills and rear diffuser are also finished in the body colour, which separates it visually from the DBX S. At the back, the quad exhaust finishers sit horizontally. Standard 22-inch wheels come with all-season tyres, in keeping with the car’s touring role, and a 23-inch wheel package is available.
DBX S
The DBX S takes the opposite approach. A black vaned grille, a revised splitter and diffuser, and vertically stacked quad exhausts give it a bolder appearance. A carbon-fibre roof reduces weight and lowers the centre of gravity, while 23-inch magnesium wheels cut unsprung mass, which helps the suspension respond to the road surface.
DBX707
The DBX707’s look is built around its front end, where a large grille and prominent splitter lead into sculpted lower bodywork. Quad exhaust outlets and a rear diffuser complete the design at the back. The car rides on 22-inch wheels as standard, with 23-inch options offered.
DBX
Compared with the versions that followed, the original DBX looks restrained. It has the signature Aston Martin grille, clean side profile and a tailgate design inspired by the Vantage, with twin exhausts at the rear rather than four.
Interior highlights of the Aston Martin DBX
DBX GT
Inside, the GT is designed around comfort on longer journeys. Aston Martin has reshaped the front and rear seats with additional cushioning. In the back, the two outer positions are sculpted, yet the car keeps the flexibility of a five-seat layout. Semi-aniline leather, deep-pile carpets and a panoramic glass roof come as standard, and extra sound insulation together with acoustic rear side glass helps keep the cabin quiet.
DBX S
The DBX S carries its sporting character into the cabin. Alcantara covers the seats, headlining and centre console, and the seats are finished with a herringbone pattern and ‘S’ embroidery, alongside red seatbelts. Semi-aniline leather is an alternative for those who prefer a more traditional finish.
DBX707
The DBX707’s interior pairs a driver-focused layout with Aston Martin’s choice of materials and trim. Its updated infotainment system uses a central touchscreen and a digital driver display. Because specification varies from one car to another, the leather, trim and audio options are worth checking on each individual example.
DBX
The original DBX has a full-grain leather interior, a panoramic glass roof and a bridged centre console with storage space underneath. A 10.25-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display handle infotainment and instruments. The rear seats fold in a 40:20:40 arrangement, so longer items can be carried while the two outer rear seats stay in use.

On paper, the DBX S and DBX GT are identical. The difference lies in how their chassis and powertrains are set up. The S favours a quicker, more sporting response, while the GT prioritises comfort and a quiet cabin. The DBX707 sits just 20 CV behind both and matches them on top speed, torque and acceleration. With 550 CV, the original DBX is the least powerful of the four, yet its V8 still delivers ample performance for daily driving.
The final word
Choosing between the four comes down to how much weight a buyer places on comfort, response and specification.
- DBX GT: Ideal for those who want the full 727 CV with a quieter cabin, a softer ride and a more discreet design.
- DBX S: Suited to drivers who want the same output with the sharpest responses of the four and the option of weight-saving components.
- DBX707: A good match for buyers drawn to the first DBX to pass 700 CV, with its distinctive exterior.
- DBX: For those who value the original version of the car and its more relaxed character, now available as pre-owned examples.
