Enough with the circuits and Mediterranean islands already - here's the crucial verdict on the DBX707.
. Talk about divisive. Darker colours seem to suit the 707 better, as the brighter, racier colours jar with what is ultimately an enormous car, but there’s undoubtedly visual impact. Along with much improved aerodynamic performance, that was most likely the point. Look at what’s popular in the segment for proof of where impact gets you.
Thank goodness, then, that the DBX707 is so utterly glorious to drive that it’s almost possible to overlook the flaws. It’s not just great to drive for an SUV, or great to drive for an Aston Martin - it’s great to drive, full stop. Even driving regular UK roads on a Wednesday afternoon. This car isn’t going to take special circumstances to feel very, very special indeed.
There’s not a comparable SUV out there that rides and steers with such quality, and it proves how crucial those elements are to enjoying a very powerful driver’s car. And that’s after having driven to the launch in a. Interestingly a Nurburgring time to beat the Porsche, as hinted at by former CEO Tobias Moers, hasn’t emerged - make of that what you will - but a DBX is hugely enjoyable as a road car. Which we all tend to travel on a little more than the Nordschleife.
With steering and ride that makes the DBX feel smaller than it actually is, and a monstrous engine that makes good on the performance claims, miles become memorable in a 707. It can be driven with such confidence and accuracy - not always the case with cars so vast - and which the modifications ensure it’s more than capable of. The brakes deserve special mention, too, with epic performance lurking in a slightly-too-long pedal.
