Aston Martin DBX GTDEJAN SOKOLOVSKI PHOTOGRAPHYAston Martin has added a new flavour to its SUV line‑up with the DBX GT — a model aimed at drivers who want the performance of the DBX S but wrapped in something quieter, calmer and more luxurious.It's still a 727PS twin‑turbo V8 bruiser, but the tone is different: less shouty, more tailored, and focused on everyday comfort.A Shift Toward "Quiet Luxury"The DBX GT moves away from the aggressive styling of the DBX S and leans into a more understated look. The most obvious change is the new double‑vaned grille, which stretches into the outer vents and gives the front end a broader, more confident stance.The body‑colour lower bumper, sills and diffuser help soften the visual drama, while a two‑piece metal side strake — finished in contrasting polished and satin metal inspired by watchmaking — adds a bit of jewellery‑like detailing.A new 22‑inch forged wheel comes as standard, chosen specifically to improve ride comfort and reduce road noise. Buyers who want a more performance‑led appearance can still opt for 23‑inch wheels.At the rear, quad exhaust finishers sit horizontally to emphasise width, with polished outers and satin anodised inners.A Cabin Designed for Long Days Behind the WheelAston Martin has pushed cabin refinement further than any DBX before it. The seats are new — front and rear — with reshaped bolsters, enhanced cushioning and a 10mm memory‑foam layer to improve long‑distance comfort. The document notes:"Front and rear seats have been redesigned with enhanced cushioning, redefined bolstering and carefully engineered comfort curves…"There's also a new individual rear‑seat layout that mirrors the sculpted design of the front chairs, complete with extended headrests and improved lateral support. The panoramic glass roof is standard, brightening the cabin and making the rear seats feel more like a lounge than a bench.Aston Martin DBX GTMaterial quality takes a noticeable step up. Semi‑aniline leather, deep‑pile carpets and intricate quilting and perforation patterns give the DBX GT a more bespoke feel. Aston Martin even quotes the craftsmanship involved:"691 meters of thread, 3,297 perforation holes, and in excess of four and a half hours of craftsmanship are meticulously applied to the construction of each front seat."Noise isolation has also been a major focus. The GT gets additional sound‑deadening in the doors, wheel arches and load space, plus acoustic laminated rear side glass. The result is a 13% improvement in the industry's "Articulation Index", meaning conversations and phone calls are easier at motorway speeds.Still a 727PS SUVDespite the calmer presentation, the DBX GT hasn't lost its performance edge. It uses the same 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 as the DBX S, producing 727PS and 900Nm. The headline numbers remain identical: 0–60mph in 3.1 seconds and a 193mph top speed.The chassis, however, has been retuned for greater refinement. New damper valves help filter out high‑frequency vibrations from rough surfaces, while spring rates adjust depending on drive mode to balance comfort and body control. The steering ratio matches the DBX S, keeping the GT feeling agile and responsive, and the turning circle stays at 12 metres — useful for tight urban manoeuvres.Aston Martin DBX GTAston Martin has also refined the throttle response and the shift behaviour of the 9‑speed wet‑clutch automatic, making low‑speed driving smoother and more predictable. A new transmission mount bush and additional longitudinal dampers improve structural feel over big bumps and compressions.The exhaust has been retuned too. Gas flow is mixed twice within the rear muffler to remove harsh metallic frequencies, giving the GT a cleaner, richer tone. In GT mode it stays discreet; switch to Sport or Sport+ and the full Aston soundtrack returns.The DBX GT is the most understated version of Aston Martin's performance SUV to date. It's aimed at buyers who want the pace and capability of the DBX S but prefer their luxury SUV to feel calmer, quieter and more elegant. First deliveries begin in Q4 2026.
