Aston Martin has introduced the DBX GT, a more comfortable and understated take on its V8 SUV. Revealed on October 1 from Gaydon, it keeps the 727 PS twin-turbo engine of the DBX S but trades some visual drama for luxury, refinement and a quieter cabin.
“DBX GT is aimed at customers who prefer assured elegance over sporting aggression and demand a higher degree of luxury,” said Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark. “By refining the visual drama and elevating the interior with new elements of craftsmanship, the DBX GT delivers a true ultra-luxury experience; one which comes with no sacrifice in performance.”
Quiet luxury outside
The signature change is a new double-vaned grille, in a bright or dark finish, with split metal vanes that run into the outer vents and the daytime running lights. Where the DBX S is assertive, the GT is meant to be discreet. A two-piece metal side strake mixes polished and satin finishes in a nod to watchmaking, and the lower bumper, sills and rear diffuser are painted body colour as standard.
A new 22-inch forged wheel in Satin Titanium with a diamond-turned finish wears all-season tyres as standard, chosen for ride comfort and lower road noise. A 23-inch package is optional for buyers who want a sportier look. Quad exhaust finishers sit side by side in a horizontal layout at the rear.
A calmer cabin
The front and rear seats are redesigned, with a 10mm memory foam layer in the cushions, new bolsters and bespoke embroidery. The rear bench gives way to two individually sculpted seats, though the car keeps five-seat capability. A panoramic glass roof is standard, along with semi-aniline leather and deep pile floor mats. Aston says each front seat takes more than four and a half hours of craftsmanship, with 691 meters of thread and 3,297 perforation holes.
Extra body sealing, new sound deadening and acoustic laminated rear side glass bring a 13% improvement in the “Articulation Index,” a measure of how easily passengers can hold a conversation.
Same V8 performance
Power comes from the 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 introduced on the DBX S, with 727 PS and 900 Nm of torque. Aston Martin quotes 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and a 193 mph top speed, and the same carbon ceramic brakes. The company calls the GT, alongside the DBX S, the world’s most powerful pure internal combustion SUV.
The comfort focus shows up in the chassis. A unique damper valve system is designed to filter small, high-frequency bumps, and the spring rate changes with drive mode. Throttle and gearbox calibration are softer for relaxed driving, and a dedicated exhaust tune keeps things discreet in GT mode, with Sport and Sport + restoring the full Aston Martin soundtrack.
First deliveries are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. Aston Martin’s release does not give pricing.
