697bhp, 0-62mph in 3.3sec and a £189,000 price tag... A new super-powerful version of Aston Martin's SUV has arrived, but is the DBX707 the ultimate, luxury sports SUV? TwickenTom has been finding out
, but that will all change later this year. And it’s that new arrival that Aston may well have in its sights with the launch of a new super-powerful version of its SUV with the new Aston Martin DBX707.
In stats terms, it takes the top speed to 193mph , and the 0-62mph time down to 3.3sec . Moreover, as a colleague observed recently, its 0-100mph time is only 0.1sec behind that of the Jaguar XJ220 - the world’s fastest production car 30 years ago.
The engine lets itself be heard when nailing the throttle, yet the car feels serene at cruise in the ninth and highest of its ratios; incidentally unlike some of these modern multi-ratio transmissions, the gearbox is surefooted and always sure of the gear it should be in – and quick to change down when your right foot suggested it. Stopping is an important element in a heavy, powerful vehicle like this and the standard ceramic brakes deliver a lot of confidence.
Luckily, switches still control the most important functions – and indeed buttons direct the transmission – a long-term Aston feature which some may love, but others may prefer a more conventional gear-shift. Behind the steering wheel lies very large, solid-feeling paddles if the quick-shifting - changes are 40% faster than on the standard model - 'wet-clutch' 9-speed automatic gearbox isn’t enough for you.
