Alex, This Aston Martin comes in a subtle hue to reflect the subtle, discrete tastes of buyers and I like the way you color coordinated the measuring tape. 😉That trailer hitch has to qualify as the automotive surprise of the year.
No accounting for taste but I'm just absolutely astonished Aston Martin chose to make the press car in this colour. Reminds me of EasyJet or some emergency high visibility liferaft thing.
Insane depreciation. There already are used base DBX for $90k and 707 under 10k miles for $175k, 707 will drop down to $100k quickly. I would love to see a review of Maserati Grecale, afaik Grecale never was on this channel?
In terms of the “elite SUVs” this Aston brings something unique to the table that Alex brushed over a bit. It’s the only one that’s a dedicated platform! The Cullinan (X7), Bentayga, Cayenne, Urus, all have an air of “dressed up rebadge” to them that the DBX doesn’t. Yes, it shares an engine and gets a modded version of Benz Infotainment, but it’s very different. That’s the sort of cache that garners attention in this segment, and part of the reason I love the Purosangue
This is a "if I ever won the lottery" vehicle. Would never get it in anything close to these colors but love the looks and seems like a blast to drive.
I would love to see the original Top Gear cast Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond drive this Austin Martin DBX 707 and Lamborghini Urus and the Ferrari Purosangue just like the good old days
Orange is good for reviews because it's actually pretty easy to see contrast on camera, it looks like a tacky cab that The Circus Circus Hotel would send to pick you up from the airport though
The direct competitors to this would be the Lamborghini Urus and the Ferrari Purosangue? Am I missing any direct competitors? I wonder how those three compare to each other? So interesting that the three most quintessential, famous, high end British car marques, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Aston Martin, are owned or at least closely connected to each of the big three German car makers. Rolls-Royce is owned by BMW, Bentley is owned by VW Group, and Aston Martin is closely linked to Mercedes-Benz, although not owned outright by them.
They’ve redesigned the dashboard and the transmission selector buttons that were high and big at the centre of the dash. It was terrible and thank goodness they have now been deleted in favour of a more conventional selector. The shiny ‘cheap’ piano black plastic needs to go as well because it is terrible in any car and not even suitable for a Dacia Duster. This model is built in a new Aston Martin factory in South Wales, UK.
I had a range rover SVR, then a Urus Performante, and currently have a Turbo GT. My DBX707 build comes in February and I have been the most excited for this one out of all of them. Much more stealthy/classy in Minotaur Green on black/tan interior than this press car example.
That might the first car that will give driver and passengers a headache... I think I might get one just by looking at all this orange in the interior. Holy shit. Why did they think doing this would be a good idea?
@@whiteandnerdytuba Aston Martin is still an OEM and likely had the powertrain fully vetted by AMG so for all intents and purposes it’s an OEM engine with OEM warranty.
the front bumper is WOW, like a cartoon, kisser fish mouth, whale shark mouth, ford fusion bumper, cooking bbq grill, and the inside looks like a bad dream stuck inside an orange with OJ as an IV........ yikes , or a p-ditty party w spiked OJ
My wife’s boyfriend bought her this car a few weeks ago. My marriage is in jeopardy now. She ran over the curbs at Home Depot, cracked the front wheels, and now I can’t afford to fix it
Family hawler SUV? Really? Have you ever been outside of your school route? Now of those hi dollar SUVs are made for the American SUV consumer like us but for the ultra rich militia associated petrodollar rich of the Arabian Kingdoms where they roam in the wild in packs in the desserts, or the Narco rich of South America, the overly stuffy Worldly Financial Brits of London, So Africa, Australia and other colonial vestigial rugged places. It is not the first high performance attempt to off road luxury by a brand, Mercedes tried with the 6 wheeled expedition of road, Maserati had an off road pick up a decade of so ago. The SUV is only an SUV in the American sense of a jack of all trades for the American cheapskate consumer, Defenders were not SUVs, Jeeps were not SUVs, and Hummers origins as a Hummer was shoehorned into the format to sell to ego deficient narcissists that like the idea of the outdoors. The color is an homage to the lack of sense the .25 of a mil $ make to every one else outside of the 1%, those that are going to get all the fun of seeing a pumpkin rolling down the road with an idiot inside instead of seeds. Jay Leno may get one for his garage, Mr Buffet may get one to wrap in plastic and keep in an AC storage to resell for a million down the road, Elon may get one to tease his engineers and my 17 year old neighbor will dream of it to replace the orange Nissan Rogue he inherited from Mom to drive to school and work. A sportsman used to be a rugged individual that took on nature as a challenge without needing to unlike those that depended on it for sustenance. Sport only mean the cheapest worst dressed version of a vehicle now a days. SUV, I think not!
Mercedes-Benz used to make reliable engines and transmissions (at least until about 10 years ago). I guess they decided to go more after profits and less for reliability.

that orange is a choice... a blinding choice, but a choice nonetheless
5:24 -- AAAAHHHHH, my eyes!!! Thanks for the review, it was really fun! :)
I like how they redesigned the PRNDL and start/stop buttons. looks way better now
Listen. My favorite color is orange. And people who like orange, REALLY like orange. I would LOVE this.

Dude you are the most professional car interviewer on the Internet. Thank You
I would love to see Alex and his team to review a Ferrari Purosangue!!! Any subscriber own one? Haha
Introducing the 2025 Aston Martin Jack-O-Lantern.
Aston was probably thinking more Hermes orange than candy peanuts 😁
Ya gotta wear sunglasses at night to drive that thing. Love your color keyed tape measure!
the fastest pumpkin of all times

I know someone just got one for $100k off the sticker.
Heading to the gas station to buy a lottery ticket ticket right now!
I will pick a lottery ticket this weekend!
You're just funding someone else's Aston Martin
@@Somebody294 hell of a spin haha
So what do I drive after Halloween?
It turns into a horse and carriage.

Dead drop gorgeous! Love the orange interior
First time luxrul kuch different colors ka LV bag dekha..very elegant....good choice
Alex would love to see review high end vehicles more often. Love seeing Nick he’s so handsome 😻
Orange is a good color for a car
Great review, but this is the first automotive review that I have ever watched where I needed to wear sunglasses to get through it! lol :-)
I saw one in person. I want one!!😂😂

From the front it looks like a surprised HRV. "Nani?!"

That inside reminds me of 80’s cars where the whole interior was one color. 😂😂😂
Finally!! A car for us normies.
Pianno black is sinful for that price tag... or honestly any car.
The current Mercedes S-Class is a huge downgrade from the W222 for that reason imo.
@faheemabbas3965 didn't the W22 have piano black plastic? It would be a massive downgrade from the W221, in that case.
“I’m not Travis!” I’m surprised seemingly mild-mannered Nick even said anything. 😂

All I know is the cool-factor in my orange Jeep compass just quadrupled.
Oh Hell ya... who doesnt have over $200,000 just hanging around somewhere in the couch cushions ?
That interior is perfect for a 1990's music video from a rap star. Way too bright!!!
would love to erase the Ford Escape front appearance from my mind...
How did they get such little power out of a 10 year old c63 engine
What is your reference point for power potential of an engine?
@@ALMX5DP tune and down pipes gets you 850hp. Billet parts gets you 1200
@@whiteandnerdytubaso you’re comparing a warrantied OEM powertrain to aftermarket parts?
@@ALMX5DP no, Aston modified the original Mercedes engine already (see vehicle above)
@@whiteandnerdytuba Aston Martin is still an OEM and likely had the powertrain fully vetted by AMG so for all intents and purposes it’s an OEM engine with OEM warranty.
I'm not Travis. LOL
Aston finally making new design infotainment starting from DB12, the pre-face-lift Vantage and DB11 infotainment looks like it’s from 15 years ago😂
I'm surprised the trunk isn't orange. That's a dealbreaker for me.
incredible suv
I wish versa would have an orange interior.
Thankfully you can select other colour options, because the orange on orange is just too much.
Much like all the men on Grindr, this comment section really needs to look up the difference between discrete and discreet.
Cinderella called and want her car back 😅
The great pumpkin patch 🎃 but is a beautiful SUV
Great SUV. Why is everyone reviewing this in what appears to be the same parking lot??
This is nice. But, I would put the Lamborghini Urus as #1 ultra luxury sport suv.
the front bumper is WOW, like a cartoon, kisser fish mouth, whale shark mouth, ford fusion bumper, cooking bbq grill, and the inside looks like a bad dream stuck inside an orange with OJ as an IV........ yikes , or a p-ditty party w spiked OJ
I dont love the front view. Everything else i love....the front grill and light combo looks like a weird bug. Lol😂
does anyone think it looks like a old ford escape?
Definitely has cues, which likely can be traced back to something touched or envisioned by one of the Callum brothers.
0:25 i think it's 707PS though....
Every time you take this around a corner quickly, you're carving the pumpkin.
Nah, I like driving my 2015 Toyota Corolla stick shift & with hand crank windows.
Nah, I will riot when gas cars are even banned from running in the United States.
@@faheemabbas3965guess you can retire your pitchfork, then, because it’s not happening soon.
It looks like a Ford Escape. Or Kia sportage.
Piano black plastic for this money? No bloody thanks.
This is not a “family hauler”.
nothing against orange, but a little too much
IT'S A RAPPER/DRUG DEALER SPECIAL
I like orange color, but...this car looks horrible!
My wife’s boyfriend bought her this car a few weeks ago. My marriage is in jeopardy now. She ran over the curbs at Home Depot, cracked the front wheels, and now I can’t afford to fix it
a fool and his money...
Who wants to drive a pumpkin?
Horrible interior color. I wouldn't take it if they paid ME the $250k.

Mercedes trans and engine⁉️ yea hard pass. You’ll live in the mechanic shop with that truck but beautiful vehicle tho
At this point, German car manufacturers should go out of business. Nothing but a poison to the automotive industry.
