Aston Martin DBX

2021 Aston Martin DBX: Aston Martin’s first, the DBX is a luxury, sports crossover that seats five and is only available as a 4-door wagon. It was introduced last year as an early 2021 model. Competitors include the Audi Q8, Bentley Bentayga, BMW X7, Lamborghini Urus, Mercedes-Benz GLS and Porsche Cayenne.

The DBX doesn't have any trim levels; instead, it offers a multitude of stand-alone options as well as traditional and lifestyle-based option packages. Sole powertrain is an AMG-derived, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that makes 542 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission and comes standard with all-wheel drive. Aston Martin claims the DBX can do 0 to 60 MPH in 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 181 mph.

Standard safety features include front- and rear-parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, surround-view camera system, lane-departure warning and blind-spot monitor. Every DBX gets 22-inch wheels with adjustable air suspension and active dampers, electronic limited-slip rear differential and LED headlights. Packages include the Convenience, Indulgence, DB Elegance, Events and Snow. Pricing starts at $211,000.
