Introducing DBX S — the return of ‘S’ in its most dominant form. The most powerful SUV in the world powered solely by an internal combustion engine. This is Aston Martin performance taken to new extremes, with enhanced engineering, unmistakable design, and commanding road presence.
With turbochargers derived from the forthcoming Valhalla hypercar, DBX S gains a 20PS boost over the DBX707. A new lower splitter, aggressive diffuser, and stacked quad exhausts emphasize its intent. Optional carbon fiber roof, 23” magnesium wheels, and a polycarbonate honeycomb grille give it even greater edge — improving power-to-weight and reinforcing its place as the ultimate performance SUV.
This is DBX, amplified.

At the core of DBX S is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, delivering 727PS and 900Nm of torque — making it the most powerful pure combustion luxury SUV ever built. Tuned with turbochargers inspired by the Valhalla, this powerplant elevates the DBX experience with intensified throttle response and a more ferocious character.
The DBX S features a 9-speed wet-clutch automatic gearbox for faster, more responsive shifts — 30% quicker than traditional torque converters. Multi-plate, oil-cooled, and race-proven, it enables lightning-fast acceleration with full torque delivery through Launch Control. Paired with an electronically controlled active all-wheel drive system and carbon fiber rear prop shaft, DBX S delivers unrelenting grip and supercar-style thrust.
Five drive modes — GT, Sport, Sport+, Terrain, and Individual — are instantly accessible via a rotary switch on the center console. Gearbox tuning has been optimized for sharper shift points and a more aggressive response in Sport and Sport+ modes. Whether cruising or carving, DBX S adapts with precision to your driving style and environment.
The introduction of DBX S not only reaffirms our commitment to producing the most exciting, rewarding, and beautiful cars, but it also sends a powerful statement of intent about our ambitions not just for DBX but for the Aston Martin marque.
- ADRIAN HALLMARK, ASTON MARTIN CEO
Equipped with Aston Martin’s most powerful in-car audio system to date, the DBX S features a 1,170-watt Bowers & Wilkins surround system with 23 speakers. 3D headliner tweeters, Aluminum Double Dome tweeters, and Continuum® midrange drivers combine with QuantumLogic Immersion™ to create a sonic experience as refined as the drive itself.
The DBX S interior is a masterclass in sport-luxury design. Sculpted seats, precision-machined controls, and refined materials form an environment that balances comfort with control. Every element is tailored for performance — with a commanding driving position, intuitive ergonomics, and bold detailing that reflect the power beneath the hood.
DBX S debuts Aston Martin’s Pure Black touchscreen system, offering class-leading clarity at 1,920 x 720 resolution. Ultra-responsive to both single- and multi-touch gestures, the interface blends physical shortcut keys with modern digital controls — delivering a smooth, intuitive experience in just 30 milliseconds.
The DBX S doesn’t just command attention — it commands presence. Every line, contour, and detail radiates confidence and authority, making it not just a visual centerpiece, but a gravitational force on the road.
Bold, purposeful, and unmistakably Aston Martin — the DBX S makes its presence known with a choice of commanding front grille designs. The optional gloss black honeycomb grille, crafted with over 25,000 individual facets, not only delivers a striking visual signature but also subtly shifts weight rearward to enhance handling and traction. For those who prefer a more traditional look, the standard dark double-vaned all-metal grille offers timeless Aston Martin elegance. Both designs fuse form with function, channeling airflow to cool the powerhouse beneath the hood while projecting a sense of refined aggression.
The available carbon-fiber roof option for the DBX S features a precision single-weave pattern, bringing a more performance-driven aesthetic to both exterior and interior. Replacing the standard glass-panel roof, this 40.9-square-foot panel is the largest full carbon-fiber roof ever fitted to an Aston Martin. Beyond its striking appearance, it reduces unsprung weight by 40 pounds from the highest point of the vehicle — effectively lowering the center of gravity to sharpen agility and enhance overall stability.
