Aston Martin DBX GT: The Luxury SUV That Redefines Refined Performance

Aston Martin is expanding its DBX range with the new Aston Martin DBX GT, a luxury SUV designed to combine exceptional refinement, long-distance comfort and effortless high performance. Positioned alongside the DBX S, the DBX GT takes a different approach: rather than focusing primarily on sporting aggression, it places luxury, elegance and effortless performance at the heart of the driving experience. According to Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark, the DBX GT is aimed at customers looking for “assured elegance” and a higher level of luxury, without compromising performance. This philosophy gives the new model a distinctive position within the Aston Martin SUV family. The exterior design of the Aston Martin DBX GT 2026 introduces several specific details that underline its grand-touring character. The front features a new double-vane grille, while the side strake draws inspiration from the precision and craftsmanship of luxury watchmaking. Body-coloured lower bumper sections, side sills and rear diffuser contribute to a cleaner and more sophisticated appearance. The DBX GT comes standard with 22-inch forged alloy wheels finished in Satin Titanium with diamond-turned detailing and all-season tyres. A 23-inch wheel and tyre package is also available. Quad exhaust finishers complete the rear design and subtly highlight the SUV’s performance credentials. The result is a more understated interpretation of performance: unmistakably Aston Martin, yet deliberately sophisticated and discreet.

Inside, the new Aston Martin DBX GT focuses heavily on comfort and craftsmanship. The front and rear seats have been redesigned with enhanced cushioning, refined bolstering and 10 mm of memory foam. The rear compartment introduces a new individual-seat layout while retaining the practicality of a five-seat configuration. A panoramic glass roof is standard, while GT-specific monotone, duotone and tritone upholstery configurations allow customers to personalise the cabin. Semi-aniline leather, deep-pile carpets and carefully executed quilting, perforation and embroidery underline the handcrafted character of the interior. Aston Martin highlights the level of craftsmanship involved: more than 691 metres of thread and 3,297 perforation holes are used in the seats, with more than 4.5 hours of craftsmanship required for each front seat. Sound insulation has also been improved, with a reported 13% improvement in Articulation Index, further reinforcing the DBX GT’s focus on serene long-distance travel. 727 PS and 900 Nm: Aston Martin Performance Without Compromise Despite its emphasis on refinement, the Aston Martin DBX GT remains a genuinely high-performance SUV. Its 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 develops 727 PS, 717 BHP and 535 kW, with maximum torque of 900 Nm. The performance figures are impressive: 0–100 km/h: 3.3 seconds 0–160 km/h: 7.2 seconds Top speed: 310 km/h Maximum torque: 900 Nm The SUV is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes featuring 420 mm front discs and 390 mm rear discs. A faster steering ratio, shared with the DBX S, contributes to more immediate responses while retaining the grand-touring character of the vehicle.

The DBX GT benefits from a comprehensive chassis development programme designed to balance comfort, stability and driving precision. Revised dampers, a unique damper valve system and model-specific spring-rate changes are combined with adaptive triple-chamber air suspension and a 48V active anti-roll control system. Drivers can choose between GT, Sport, Sport+, Individual and Terrain driving modes. The GT setting prioritises refinement and comfort, while Sport and Sport+ progressively enhance the vehicle’s dynamic character. The nine-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission also receives revised shift calibration, while a new transmission mount bush and longitudinal dampers contribute to improved refinement. The exhaust system remains discreet in GT mode but delivers a more expressive soundtrack in Sport and Sport+ modes.

With a length of 5,039 mm, a wheelbase of 3,060 mm, a width of 1,998 mm and a height of 1,680 mm, the DBX GT combines substantial road presence with the practicality expected from a modern luxury SUV. Its all-wheel-drive system, electronic active centre transfer case and electronic rear limited-slip differential provide the technical foundation for confident performance in a wide range of conditions. The DBX GT also offers a 2,700 kg braked towing capacity and a maximum wading depth of 500 mm, demonstrating that its luxury positioning does not come at the expense of everyday usability. First customer deliveries of the new Aston Martin DBX GT are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
