Aston Martin DBX FAQs

• How much does the DBX cost?

  With just the one variant on offer locally, there is little wriggle room as far as the price-point of this model. Nonetheless, the Suggested Retail Price for the Aston Martin DBX is $357,000, however, this price excludes on-road costs and any options you might add on. In terms of on-road costs, think registration, dealer delivery fee, stamp duty, among other government charges. This SUV is proving quite the catch, so don't wait too long to check it out or you might miss out.

• Is the Aston Martin DBX electric?

  At this time, the DBX being sold down under is only equipped with a petrol engine. In fact, there were plans to roll out a hybrid by this stage, but the only market where that has taken place has been China, where the latest Aston Martin DBX is available with a mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine - coincidentally, supplied by Mercedes-Benz's AMG division. Work is in progress though, and a mild-hybrid version of the DBX is likely to be available in other regions across the world soon enough.

• What is the Aston Martin DBX based on?

  Sometimes you only need to look for good inspiration to develop a wonderful creation, and that really is the story at play here with the DBX, which is also the world's most-powerful luxury SUV. In the case of the DBX's powertrain, Aston Martin has utilised the 4.0-litre twin-turbo engines produced by Mercedes-AMG, although there are variances between the DBX and the DB11 and Vantage, which also borrow from Mercedes-AMG. More broadly, the DBX platform stems from the Aston Martin Lagonda saloon and SUV.
