The ‘green’ brand from Gaydon has a new toy, and it’s far from meek: Aston Martin has revealed a new flagship version of its DBX SUV to sit atop the range.
The 2025 Aston Martin DBX S is the new halo version of the UK’s rival to the Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus, and it’s got the chops to stand up to both.
With its twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine cranked up to 535kW and 900Nm, up from the 520kW in the almost-as-wicked DBX 707, the new top-dog DBX can hit 100km in 3.3 seconds, and go on to 200km/h quicker than most family cars even hit the ton: 7.2 seconds.

The five-door, five-seat SUV could still function as a family car, for only the most unhinged school runs, but the DBX S comes with a host of luxury and performance features that would give any parent pause before letting a little one into its Alcantara-shod interior.
Outside, design cues like black trim, chrome, ‘S’ badging and carbon fibre give the game away, while a staggered quad-exit exhaust might be the biggest tell.
Inside, the ‘S’ theme continues with more Alcantara blended with leather, a herringbone seat design and specific trim elements, while the Alcantara can be replaced with entirely semi-analine leather.
Importantly, weight reduction was a focus in developing the DBX S, with an optional carbon fibre roof “which, at almost three metres square, is by far the largest such carbon element ever fitted to an Aston Martin” saving 18kg from the highest point of the car. Furthermore, optional 23-inch magnesium wheels save 19kg of unsprung weight from the car.
The DBX S is available to configure on the Aston Martin Australia website. Pricing isn’t yet confirmed, but given the standard DBX is $387,500 before on-roads and the DBX 707 comes in at $429,000, a DBX S with a couple of options ticked could easily nudge half a million.
