- The redesigned interior of the Aston Martin DBX707 benefits from a new infotainment, a larger digital instrument cluster and fresh options for the veneers.
- The twin-turbo V8 with 697 hp is the only powertrain option for the SUV which received new chassis calibration software.
- Exterior changes are limited to new colors and redesigned mirrors.
Aston Martin updated its single SUV offering, overhauling the interior and reducing the lineup to the DBX707 performance flagship. Besides the all-new infotainment system, the DBX707 benefits from chassis software calibration, further enhancing its driving dynamics.
The Aston Martin DBX707 was introduced in 2022, so there was no need for extensive visual upgrades. Exterior changes for the 2025 MY are limited to a selection of new exterior shades (Epsilon Black, Helios Yellow, Sprint Green, Malachite Green, Aura Green, and Podium Green), door handles which power outwards when the vehicle is unlocked, new mirrors with integrated cameras, and new finishes for the optional 23-inch forged alloy wheels (22-inch wheels come standard).

Buyers of luxurious performance SUVs have high expectations in terms of technology, which is why Aston Martin focused the updates on the DBX707’s interior. The highlight is the new infotainment, already found in the DB12 and Vantage sporstcars with the latest connectivity features including wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, and multiple USB-C slots. The old Mercedes-sourced system gives way to a more modern 10.25-inch “Pure Black” touchscreen display which is combined with a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Besides the new screens, the dashboard and center console have been redesigned, bringing the DBX707 more in line with the rest of the Aston Martin lineup. By offering dedicated physical controls for the gear selection, drive modes, climate functions, suspension, ESP, exhaust, and ADAS, the company wants to avoid driver confusion. Operation is further simplified thanks to a new toggle switch for the drive modes instead of multiple buttons.
According to Aston Martin, “every area of the interior has been enhanced” with more personalization options and new materials like the gloss smoked oak, gloss titanium mesh, updated ziricote wood, piano black and carbon fiber veneers. Aston Martin’s 14-speaker audio system with 800 watts of power is now included in the standard equipment, but can optionally be upgraded to the even more premium 23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio with 1,600 watts.
The Flagship DBX707 Is Now The Sole Option
Aston Martin’s decision for offering a single powertrain option in the DBX has to do with sales figures. Autocar reports that the DBX707 accounted for two-thirds of DBX sales in 2023, and 90% so far in 2024, effectively making the rest of the lineup obsolete.
Under the hood lies a carry-over twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 697 hp (520 kW / 707 PS) and 900 Nm (663 lb-ft) of torque. Power is transmitted to the wheels via a nine-speed automatic gearbox and a rear-biased all-wheel drive system. With a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph), the DBX707 remains one of the fastest production SUVs together with the likes of the Lamborghini Urus, the Maserati Levante Trofeo, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT.
The chassis hardware remains unchanged (including the adaptive air suspension and the standard carbon ceramic brakes) but Aston Martin engineers re-calibrated the electronic dampers and the air springs resulting in a more precise control of the body.
Production and deliveries of the updated DBX707 will commence in the second quarter of 2024. Pricing will be announced closer to the market launch.
