As someone who used to sell Aston Martin’s for a living, I really thought I would hate this. But I have to concede-they did a really good job injecting that legendary Aston DNA into what I expected to be just another an unwieldy SUV. Good work Aston:)
I loathe SUVs - but if this was the only Aston I was allowed to own, I honestly wouldn't complain!! This is Aston making a genuine silk purse out of a sow's ear!! Kudos!
It’s great from certain angles, but from others it looks like Aventador meets Huracan. Rear end and rear deck look fantastic though. Rear 7/8 view is very countach 25th anniversary without the wing. So we are going to need a 50k wing option that does nothing for aero obviously
11:07 caught me completely off-guard. While my initial impression after getting to the end of the video was that this car lives up to the badge and the task it must do, that shot completely sold me. That's an Aston through and through.
Franzino Especially since so many people drive them terribly! People look like dolls when they sit in the big ones...they can barely look over the dashboards!
Same. If it funds their GT cars and super cars then I'm all for it. The Cayenne helped fund the 918 for Porsche, so hopefully this DBX helps to fund future Aston supercars
Heads up to any other commenters, Mark Plott above me here is a either a troll, a toxic Tesla fanboy, or both based on his comment history. Don't give him any attention, that's exactly what he wants. I appreciate Teslas too, but damn they're far from being problem-free and perfect like Mark claims they are
My expectations were low and thought it was going to be hideous and contrived, yet it looks like they have actually made a fantastic effort and pulled off making the combination of performance and practicality that other premium manufacturers have either failed at (Bentley) or made absurd (Lambo)...hats off to Aston! Great vid quality as always, thanks Henry. 👍🏻 10/10
One of the most beautiful SUV's I've ever seen! Better than the Bentayga (I didn't even give the Cullinan a second of brain energy). I'd certainly buy one. Maybe I will in a few years... Might as well give it my best shot!

So many good options!! All of your suggestions, guys! I know, this might be a shock, but Matt LeBlanc did. well too in my opinion. So. I’ll have to vouch for him.
Henry Catchpole is one of the most honest, objective reviewers out there. He was upfront about people wanting DBX to be a success and you do wonder if that swayed some of the over the top rave reviews of the car. Regardless, brilliant review and great production standards as always.
Easily the best review I've seen on this. Very honest and refreshing. Objectively the Mercedes GLE63 S gives you the same thing with better tech and possibly build quality. I think it is a hard sell to anyone outside of Britian. I hope I'm wrong
It doesn't, you lose the chassis, suspension, dampening and rigidity. Like there are still reasons to buy a GLE63 over it, the tech for instance but if you think you'll get the same thing, you're barking way too far up the wrong tree. So yes, you're wrong.
Mr. Catchpole, you described the car's suspension as having a "lugubrious nature", which means sad, but I think you mean "languid", which means relaxed. Great review as usual though!
Another great review team! I was lucky enough to drive the DBX last week and agree with all your points, I very sporty feeling SUV! Let's hope for it's success.
@@rv1251 actually would have been lower maybe, Lambo only sold below 10k Urus last year, so Aston Martin maybe without corona could have got 15k. 30k was a stretch.
Imagine telling people, 'I have an Aston Martin' and then showing them an suv XD As long as they keep making sports cars then I couldn't care less about them making suv's, I just can't figure out who would want one
It's a pity we'll have to accept all these out-proportioned, heavy, inefficient vehicles in return of the survival of our favorite car makers. But as someone said: "It is what it is..."
I'm not sure it will. I love Aston's but the DBX feels desperately behind the times. Feels like it should have been released 4-5 years ago. There's nothing remarkable about it. It doesn't look great and the performance isn't out of the ordinary when judged against the competition. If they'd released it with a really powerful electric motor, then I think it'd sell like hotcakes.
Definitely won't. Bad value for money compared to the Bentley Bentayga V8 which has a vastly superior interior and starts almost £20k less than the DBX. The DBX is just a nail in the coffin for Aston Martin before Mercedes-Benz/Daimler buys them when they go bankrupt.
@@Jimbo8012 looks far better than Bentayga, Urus and Cullinan, its main competitors. Nothing special? This thing's handbuilt, which is more than what can be said for VAG SUVs. The only other handbuilt SUV is Cullinan, which let's face it, is ugly from the front and is much more expensive, and it still sells without any issues.

An infotainment screen in that location, within arm's reach, needs to be a touchscreen as well plus it's a bit overpriced. Other than those it's a very complete package.
I just love your reviews - objective, informative and entertaining. To me, you are the best reviewer in the business. Aston Martins have always been my dream car. Alas, I've never been able to afford one. So, my 550i will have to do! Cheers from New Zealand.
2:20 "does it sound like an Aston-Martin?" Nope, it sounds like every other turbocharged V8 of that displacement be it from Audi, BM or Merc. Slury and farty exhaust.
Pretty much. Does it make noise and pops&bangs? Yes. Is there a melody to it? Nope, none at all, just noisy burping machine. I get the need for this car and completely understand the reason why is Aston doing it, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a "soulless pseudo offroad machine with farting turbo V8 noises." Not really what I associate with the brand.
I gotta say as a whole, Henry is the best player in the game of auto journalists for me right now. I get what I need to know about the cars and the beauty of the presentation is almost like poetry. I even enjoyed this video about a car that I hate but I still want it to succeed for Aston Martin's benefit.
Me and 2 mates watched this being filmed just above Ebbw Vale town, we watched it from the car park on the hill and we did ask the camera guy about the car to, it sounded insane
Dont buy launch spec Astons. Wait for their yearly updates. I love Astons but they seem to rush out their very early cars with unresolved quality issues.
Am I the only one that thinks this is one of the best looking suvs out there? Definetly would buy this over the urus, bentayga or cullinan if I had the money of course xD
I saw one on the m40 2 weeks ago, it was surreal. Thought it was a Qashqai, then a new Puma. Got it as I got closer. Narrow lines from the back, super tall on the side profile, flat at the front... really not sold. But I want to be...
Completely Agree! DBX could save the company where we see more Aston Martin models in the future. I myself am currently looking for a Vantage. Some low mileage used 2019 models out there for just over 100K USD
i wish these sports car manufacturers would put this much effort into building sedans or wagons instead of suvs. imagine a macan hatchback, a levante shooting brake, a DBX gran coupe or an urus sport sedan.
This is definitely a much better proposition than the nearly-all-similar Volkswagen AG products (Bentayga, Q8, Cayenne, Urus, etc.) Hoping it can be a forward-driving product for Aston Martin. Carfection Team and Henry are wonderful as always 👍
Great review Henry. Looks like a good looking, well made SUV with some Aston characteristics. Not sure if it is special/outrageous enough to appeal to a prospective Urus or Bentayga owner or too expensive to appeal to those considering a top end Range Rover or Cayenne. If Aston had priced it £10k-20k lower than the V8 Bentayga then it would have made both buyer types think twice. While new Astons have never been cheap it will be interesting to see if enough are sold to keep the company solvent, or if they mainly become a used bargain in 3-5 years time like DB11, Rapide etc.
Carfection reviews stay the best out there. Still definitely not the type of car that appeals to me, but as far as sporty SUVs go I think it’s a very good looking one. And if it performs like all the reviews are saying as well then I can’t knock it. Hope they sell boat loads of them because we need Aston Martin around
Lugubrious!!! Ah....@henrycatchpole - this command of language is a large part of what makes these well thought out creative slices of magic quite so delectable to consume. The minutia is most certainly appreciated. Another fine production.
I sincerely hope the DBX is for Aston Martin what the Cayenne was for Porsche. An enormous success which helped to save the brand. As long as this means that we get all the Vantages, DBS, Vanquishs, Valkyries and whatever there is planned for the future, they can and should build and sell as much SUVs as they can.
We don't get the Kuga here in the US, but the front end is kind of a mash-up of different Ford vehicles. Reminds me more of a mix between a Fusion grill, the DRLs look like a smaller version of the ones on my Edge, as well as the way the hood/front fenders are somewhat similar in shape to the Edge.
Great review as always but I don't think that there are gas particulate filters that get in the way... This is a USA spec and the EU will probably sound much worse...
Very nice but I don't like the big blob at the top of the windscreen which houses the guidance cameras and sensors it looks messy. A lot of high end cars have them or have the cameras in the grill which look bad too. I know they are important but i wish they could be hidden in the headlight cluster or wing mirrors maybe central above the wiper or either side of the number plate.
If it means the Valkyrie sees the light of day, then it's okay in my book.
L Taka Valkyrie is already secured so we can breath a sigh of relief!
This will mean the Vanquish AM9 and Valhalla see the light of day. IF it sells, and when it comes to Aston and selling... Eh I dunno chief.
The valkyrie is already confirmed. To much money spent already to be canceled the rest of the mids are in doubt
This will go a long way to fund the Valhalla and the Vanquish, and the motoring world is better off for it.
@@subarnosinha8042 true. If its a success
James Bond is getting old. He needs higher seating position now. :D

And a family and he needs to go to the Alps
The good news is that the DBX certainly has space for a Zimmerframe in the boot :)
@Hare Brahs oh yeah, I remember that! Well this new black Bond is going to change the rims to 24" and it will be in shiny chrome bling.
@@Sidowse haha... would make a great family comedy movie.
I had no idea it was that big. Had assumed it was Macan sized!
Same here ... I honestly thought it’s a compact SUV considering it’s Aston and they wouldn’t want to make a boat
It's actually bigger than a Cayenne
I could have sworn they said in the reveal video that it was the size of a Macan with the interior space of a Cayenne.
DBX or Cayenne? Which car do you prefer?
@@henryhealy What Aston say and what they do. 😂

Great review as always but I don't think that there are gas particulate filters that get in the way... This is a USA spec and the EU will probably sound much worse...
All the cars are US cars was supposed to be a big first drive in palm springs california in April but virus
👍 *Yeah, I want one* - _even if it isn't performancePHEV_
Oh yes another great review from Henry - Best car guy on the net or tv :)
Great review and fantastic photography.
The rear end must look like Donald The Duck's beak.
LOL
Great vid and Henry makes some good points
Is this a review or a documentary? top notch production!
How does he do these things?' (quote-unquote 007). Henry and team deliver the go-to review once again 💯😎
Getting the like in before getting too into the vid. Would be my pick of the performance SUVs 👍🏻👌🏻
Nicely balanced review.
Thanks. I'm going to buy two.
4:37 'Lugubrious' - looking or sounding sad and dismal
Learnt a new word today!
Very nice but I don't like the big blob at the top of the windscreen which houses the guidance cameras and sensors it looks messy. A lot of high end cars have them or have the cameras in the grill which look bad too. I know they are important but i wish they could be hidden in the headlight cluster or wing mirrors maybe central above the wiper or either side of the number plate.
