URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/aston-martin-dbx

This is the standard V8 car: 542bhp from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo, all-wheel drive, five seats, a proper boot and 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds. It is the calmer sibling to the 697bhp DBX707.

## What is the difference between the DBX and the DBX707?

Power, mainly. The standard DBX makes 542bhp from its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8; the DBX707 takes the same engine to 697bhp with larger turbochargers, and adds a wet-clutch gearbox, bigger brakes and firmer suspension. The standard car is the more comfortable of the two, and on most journeys the difference in pace is academic.

## Is the DBX practical?

Yes. It is a genuine five-seat SUV with a boot that takes a family's luggage, rear doors that open wide and a driving position high enough to see over traffic. The interior is hand-trimmed and the car is built in Wales, at Aston Martin's St Athan factory. It carries people, bags and dogs without feeling like a sports car in fancy dress.

## When does an SUV make more sense than a sports car?

When there are more than two of you, when the weather is British, and when the drive is long. A DBX carries five people and their luggage at speed without anyone arriving stiff. It is also the sensible answer for winter dates, where a rear-drive supercar spends most of its time being careful.

## What does a DBX cost to hire?

A refundable £7,500 deposit and a £7,500 insurance excess apply, with 12,000 miles a year included and £2.50 a mile beyond. Figures are guides on a sourced car and are confirmed in writing before you decide.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I hire an Aston Martin DBX in the UK?

We can source one, subject to confirmation. We do not own the car, so we check with our partners against your dates and confirm the specific vehicle and its colour before the booking is fixed.

### Is the DBX four-wheel drive?

Yes. Every DBX drives all four wheels, with an active anti-roll system that keeps the body flat through corners. It is a capable car in poor weather.

### How many people does a DBX seat?

Five, with a boot large enough for their luggage. It is a full-size SUV rather than a coupe with a raised ride height.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer.
