The new Aston Martin DBX S arrives with a sharper edge, elevating Aston Martin’s performance SUV into something even more dramatic and focused. Instantly recognizable by its pure black vaned grille, redesigned splitter, diffuser, and distinctive wraparound daytime running lights, the DBX S carries a more assertive presence while maintaining the sculptural elegance expected from the British marque.
Seen from the side, newly designed sills feature upturned air splitters that exist as much for aerodynamic function as visual effect, helping direct airflow cleanly along the body. Optional carbon fibre detailing for the wing mirrors, side strakes, and lower door sills further emphasizes the SUV’s lightweight sporting character. Signature “S” badging on the front fenders references earlier Aston Martin performance icons, including the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and Aston Martin Rapide S. Crafted from solid metal with glass enamel detailing and a red “S” infill, the badges reinforce the marque’s attention to craftsmanship.
At the rear, vertically stacked quad exhausts dominate the design and give full expression to the DBX S’s twin-turbocharged V8 soundtrack. Available in both gloss and matte finishes, the new exhaust treatment is framed by a completely reprofiled rear bumper and diffuser. Optional carbon fibre components for the rear diffuser, side sills, and wing help reduce overall mass while adding further visual aggression. Aston Martin also introduces a new lower livery package available in Rosso Corsa Red, Trophy Silver, and Podium Green, accentuating the front splitter, side sills, and rear diffuser.
Inside, the DBX S introduces a bespoke “S” interior theme centered around a distinctive herringbone seat pattern that widens as it moves upward, subtly suggesting speed and movement throughout the cabin. The motif extends into the headlining when specified with the optional carbon roof, creating a more immersive and cohesive interior environment.
Lightweight Alcantara comes standard across the seats, headlining, center console, lower instrument panels, and upper trim surfaces. At the same time, semi-aniline leather is applied in high-wear areas such as the seat bolsters. Buyers seeking a richer tactile experience can specify the interior entirely in semi-aniline leather. Red seatbelts are also available, adding another subtle reference to the DBX S identity.
The SUV comes standard with Aston Martin’s Premium Audio system, featuring 14 speakers, 800 watts of power, and QuantumLogic surround sound processing. Audiophiles, however, will likely gravitate toward the optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system, acoustically engineered specifically for the DBX S cabin. The 23-speaker, double-amplified 1,600-watt setup incorporates Aluminium Double Dome tweeters, Continuum midrange speakers, dedicated 3D headliner speakers, bass speakers, and a powerful subwoofer to create a deeply immersive listening experience.
The result is an SUV that feels less like a conventional luxury utility vehicle and more like a true Aston Martin grand tourer elevated for modern life — fast, theatrical, and unapologetically indulgent. Let’s Build One.
