2025 Aston Martin DBX S SUV Breaks Cover: Power, Design Updates And More

On the design front the changes in the 2025 DBX S include a black vaned grille or optional honeycomb grille, revised front splitter, side sills & rear diffuser, vertically stacked quad exhaust outlets, optional carbon-fibre accents and paint options such as Rosso Corsa Red, Trophy Silver & Podium Green. On the inside, the DBX S features new seat upholstery in Alcantara or optional semi-aniline leather with a herringbone pattern. Red seatbelts and ‘S’ badging appear on the seats, door sills, and engine plaque. The standard audio system includes a 14-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, with an optional 23-speaker system also available. The updated interior also includes Aston Martin’s latest infotainment interface.

The 2025 model year DBX S continues to be powered by the 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG. The turbocharger upgrades inspired by the Valhalla supercar push the output to 717 bhp which is 20 hp more than the DBX707 and 900 Nm of torque. Aston Martin claims that this SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.3 seconds which is 0.3 second faster than its predecessor. It boasts a top speed of 310 kmph.

This engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission which has been recalibrated for quicker shifts, especially in Sport and Sport+ modes. The all-wheel-drive system, unchanged from the DBX707, can send up to 100 percent of torque to the rear axle. The SUV retains its carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive air suspension.

Aston Martin offers several optional components aimed at reducing weight. These include - a carbon-fibre roof (largest ever fitted to an Aston Martin), saving 18 kgs, 23-inch magnesium wheels, cutting 19 kgs of unsprung mass, a lightweight polycarbonate grille along with carbon-fibre exterior trim, including mirrors, sills and rear components. Altogether, these options reduce weight by up to 47 kg compared to the DBX707, bringing the total curb weight to 2,197 kgs. None of the weight-saving features are standard.

The Aston Martin DBX S will become the sole variant in the DBX lineup, bookings for the same have commenced in the international market with deliveries expected to begin from Q4 2025.

Aston Martin CEO, Adrian Hallmark said, “Over the last two years, Aston Martin have introduced an entire core collection of next generation sports cars as well as a new DBX; all with a new, entirely bespoke infotainment system designed in-house. The marque continues its focus on class leading performance, ultra-luxury design and innovation, broadening the range of products under each core model. The introduction of DBX S not only reaffirms our commitment to producing the most exciting, rewarding and beautiful cars, it also sends a powerful statement of intent about our ambitions not just for DBX, but for the Aston Martin brand”.
