Aston Martin DBX S Arrives with More Power, Less Weight, and Sporty New Looks

Abu Dhabi : New carbon-fibre and magnesium parts help cut up to 47 kg in weight for sharper handling.

Aston Martin has revealed the DBX S, a lighter, sharper, and more powerful version of its luxury SUV. It delivers 717 hp of raw power, better handling, and striking design updates. 

Powertrain: Valhalla Tech, Sharper Gears

At the core of the DBX S is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 now delivering 717 hp. This boost—20 hp more than the DBX707—comes from upgraded turbo tech with larger compressor wheels. Torque remains steady at 900 Nm.

The 9-speed wet-clutch transmission has also been recalibrated. In Sport and Sport+ modes, drivers will notice quicker, more aggressive downshifts, adding to the SUV’s dynamic feel.

Weight Reduction: Carbon-Fibre and Magnesium

Aston Martin has made weight loss a top priority in the DBX S. Buyers can opt for:

• Carbon-fibre roof (largest ever on an Aston) – saves 18 kg.
• Magnesium 23-inch wheels – reduce unsprung mass by 19 kg.
• Carbon grille, front bumper, rear diffuser – more savings.

Altogether, the maximum total weight reduction is 47 kg, which helps with both agility and fuel efficiency.

Suspension and Handling: Sharper Than Ever

The DBX S inherits the DBX707’s suspension upgrades. These include:

• Revised air spring calibration.
• Enhanced electronic dampers.
• Improved transient body control.
• Increased high-speed stability.

These tweaks make the DBX S more planted and responsive during spirited drives, especially on UAE highways and mountain roads.

Sporty Exterior and Luxurious Cabin

The DBX S gets bold design updates such as:

• Vertically stacked quad exhausts.
• Black vaned grille.
• Optional carbon styling.
• Colour options like Rosso Corsa Red, Trophy Silver, and Podium Green.

Inside, it’s a blend of sport and class. The cabin includes:

• Herringbone seat stitching.
• Alcantara trim on seats, dash, and roof.
• Semi-aniline leather in high-use areas.
• Red seat belts and embroidered 'S' logos.

For those choosing the carbon roof, the herringbone detail can extend up to the headliner, adding an extra touch of exclusivity.

Availability and UAE Relevance

The Aston Martin DBX S is open for orders now, with deliveries starting late 2025. With its high power, lighter body, and sporty design, the DBX S is set to appeal to luxury SUV lovers in the UAE who want performance without sacrificing comfort or style.

The Aston Martin DBX S redefines the brand’s flagship SUV. With its upgraded engine, reduced weight, and refined looks, it promises thrilling drives and bold presence on UAE roads. Enthusiasts won’t have to wait long, as deliveries begin later this year.
