If the school drop-off lane had a leaderboard, the 2025 Aston Martin DBX S would be number one—with a tire-smoking lead and four screaming exhausts to prove it. Aston Martin has just pulled the covers off its new ultra-luxury SUV flagship, and it’s loud, fast, and unapologetically dramatic.
Powered by a heavily-breathed-on 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 borrowed from the future Valhalla supercar, the DBX S cranks out 727 PS and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. That’s enough to fling this beast from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds, while still sipping tea at a refined 193 mph (310 km/h) up top. And if you’re wondering about handling, let’s just say Aston went all Marie Kondo on the weight, cutting up to 47 kg (104 lbs) with goodies like a full carbon roof and magnesium wheels.
It’s not just the specs that slap. The DBX S brings redesigned aggression with a pure black grille, stacked quad pipes that look ready to spit fire, and bodywork sculpted like it just walked out of a wind tunnel photoshoot. Inside, it’s all herringbone Alcantara, red seatbelts, and leather so finely pressed with an ‘S’ logo, it may as well have been tattooed under a microscope.
Other features include adaptive air suspension, active roll control, carbon ceramic brakes the size of dinner plates, and a new infotainment system that won’t drive you mad in traffic.
The 2025 Aston Martin DBX S starts at around US$256,000. That’s not just the price of an SUV. That’s the price of proving your supercar-owning neighbor that yes, you can have the kids, the dog, and 727 horses—all in one ridiculously good-looking package.
