interior redesigned like a luxury boutique’s handbag

The most striking aspect of the new Aston Martin DBX707 is its cabin architecture and interior detailing, which has been comprehensively redesigned to mirror those of the DB12 and Vantage. Clean, contemporary lines sculpt the cabin, firstly splitting the two sections of the dashboard and also lowering the perceived height of the interior. This layout creates a spacious environment that luxurious materials enrich, ranging from chrome accents to fine veneers. The British marque’s approach strikes a balanced interior that feels simultaneously sporty and elegant.

Craftsmanship is at the heart of this redesign. Every detail, from the steering wheel to the door handles and vertical air vents, has been enhanced with jewelry-like precision to create an opulent yet athletic feel. New door veneer panels in materials like gloss smoked oak, carbon fiber, and gloss titanium mesh offer a refined aesthetic, while three distinct interior trims – Inspire Comfort, Inspire Sport, and Accelerate with Alcantara® – let owners tailor the space to their taste. With additional details like micro piping and sateen embroidery, the SUV invites occupants to sink into a cabin that feels as meticulously crafted as a luxury boutique’s handbag.

The affinity to luxury items continues, with buttons, dials, and switches designed for a pleasurable tactile and visual experience. Aston Martin’s in-house developed infotainment system shares the spotlight in this redesign. The entirely bespoke, fully integrated multi-screen setup boasts a 12.3-inch driver’s display paired with a 10.25-inch central touchscreen, offering wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and seamless connectivity. This balance between touchscreen commands and the tactile satisfaction of switches ensures key functions are always within reach, enhancing the driver experience. As always, the marque continues to blend digital sophistication and analogue charm.

thrilling exterior design debuts

The exterior design is largely unchanged for the better. New ‘presenting’ door handles, which power outwards when the car is unlocked, creates a smooth, uninterrupted body. Another new feature is the flush glass swivel-head door mirrors, which aids driver assistance systems, cameras, and parking. This is all offered in five new paint colors – Epsilon Black, Helios Yellow, Sprint Green, Malachite Green, and Aura Green – that compliment the two new wheel finishes of Satin Black and Copper Bronze.

Beneath its trilling exterior, the 2024 Aston Martin DBX707’s performance remains unmatched. A 707PS/900Nm 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, mated to a 9-speed wet clutch automatic gearbox, races the SUV from 0-60mph in just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 193mph. The sophisticated all-wheel-drive system can send 100% of torque to the rear axle, delivering precision handling, while new calibrations in the electronic dampers and air springs improve body control and response. This ensures the car feels as confident on twisty roads as it does on highways.

The 2024 Aston Martin DBX707 reaffirms its position as the ultimate luxury performance SUV. By combining thrilling power with a meticulously crafted interior and cutting-edge technology, it offers both driver and passengers the best of both worlds: unmatched elegance and sports car exhilaration.
