Aston Martin is gearing up to launch their first crossover as the company has announced the DBX will be unveiled in Beijing on November 20th.
To help build excitement for the model, the company has confirmed pricing will start at $189,900 in the United States. This will make the DBX significantly more expensive than the Bentley Bentayga.
The crossover will go up for order following its debut and customers in the United Kingdom will need to shell out £158,000. In other key markets, the DBX will cost €193,500 in Germany and ¥22,995,000 in Japan.

Besides announcing pricing, Aston revealed a detailed interior image. It shows the crossover will have a two-tone leather-wrapped steering that resides in front of a large digital instrument cluster. To the right is a unique center stack that features top-mounted transmission buttons and a large infotainment screen. Further below, we can see wide air vents, stylish switchgear and a center console with wood trim.
Speaking of the latter, Aston Martin described it as a “bridged” console which has an “elegant, floating aesthetic.” The open design of the console will allow owners to quickly stow items such as handbag and water bottles.
Other notable highlights include a panoramic glass roof, metallic trim, and premium leather and Alcantara upholstery. Aston Martin also paid attention to rear seat passengers as they’ll have a dedicated climate control system and at least four different air vents.
The company was tight-lipped on specifics, but promised the DBX will have class-leading front and rear legroom. The company also said they sweated the smallest of details as they spent over six months perfecting the driving position and ensuring it provides good visibility as well as easy access to controls. In a first for the automaker, they enlisted children to get their feedback on entry and egress for the rear seats.
As we have previously reported, the DBX will be powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG. It produces 542 hp (405 kW / 550 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The company has said this will enable the model to lap the Nordschleife in less than eight minutes and hit a top speed in excess of 180 mph (290 km/h).
