What changed for 2026
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says Aston is launching a new range-topping S model of the DBX this year, which boasts 717 horsepower and over 100 pounds of weight-saving measures. Its carbon-fiber roof is said to lower the DBX's center of gravity, which Aston Martin says improves the SUV's handling. Styling elements include a unique front grille design, S badging pretty much everywhere, and an interior draped in faux suede and leather upholstery.
XCarSpace (opens in a new tab) says the DBX S replaces the DBX707 as Aston Martin's new flagship SUV, focusing on meaningful engineering improvements rather than cosmetic changes: the extra power comes from Valhalla-derived turbos, the optional carbon-fiber roof saves 40 lbs, optional magnesium wheels cut unsprung mass by 42 lbs, and the exhaust delivers a more aggressive V8 soundtrack.
