2025 Aston Martin Vantage
Pulling up to the valet in the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage feels like arriving on the set of a modern Bond film—equal parts elegance and danger, wrapped in a shape that’s pure seduction.
For 2025, Aston Martin has turned up the drama with a bold design refresh. A wider grille now dominates the front, flanked by sleek LED headlights that give the Vantage an even more assertive stare. New fenders with subtle side vents sharpen its profile, but it’s the overall shape—low, wide, muscular—that makes it stand out.
Slide into the cabin, and the Vantage continues to charm with its refined blend of technology and luxury. There’s a new center console with a 12.5-inch touchscreen that’s effortlessly modern, and finally features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A digital instrument cluster adds a more contemporary touch. Everything feels more premium and modern than before.
The Aston Martin Vantage stays true to its mission as a lively sports car. Under the long, sculpted hood lives an updated version of the Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, now producing a staggering 656 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.
It’s brutally quick—3.5 seconds to 62 mph—and sounds like thunder echoing through the canyons of my review Drive. The roar of the exhaust is addicting, a deep, mechanical growl that makes every tunnel a personal concert hall.
The eight-speed automatic gearbox is just as sharp, snapping off shifts with confidence and always seeming to read your mind. The chassis has been stiffened, the suspension retuned, and the sticky new Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires give you the confidence to carve up corners with precision. The steering is perfectly weighted, the brake pedal firm and communicative—everything flows together to create a driving experience that’s equal parts precision and passion.
Whether you’re chasing the sunrise or just making a stylish entrance at the hottest night spot, the Vantage feels utterly at home. It’s as happy cruising Rodeo Drive as it is devouring mountain switchbacks. There’s a sense of occasion every time you drive it—like slipping into a perfectly tailored suit that also happens to sprint to over 200 mph.
The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage isn’t just a car. It’s a statement. Bold, beautiful, and unapologetically thrilling—it’s everything a modern sports car should be, with just the right amount of British swagger.
