Aston Martin DBX S

Lavishing more of everything onto their SUV worked before, so guess what Gaydon’s gone and done now… No matter how much we eulogise about lightness, ‘less is more’ and a moderate amount of power being enough, it seems that for many buyers more is still more.When Aston Martin introduced the 707 version of the DBX super-SUV, it expected to offer it alongside the standard one, but buyers overwhelmingly proved willing to pay extra for the hardcore 697bhp version over the 550bhp option. So much so that when Gaydon gave the DBX a mid-life update last year, it dropped the base model altogether – no point in making something that people aren’t buying.It’s only logical, then, that the firm would further capitalise on that strategy of ever ramping up performance. Enter the new Aston Martin DBX S, which takes the 707 (which is now the standard DBX) and adds even more power and aggression.
