Aston Martin
This is the catalogue record of the Aston Martin DBX, one of 106 models Aston Martin has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2020. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Aston Martin DBX properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Model Y, the Kia Kia EV6, the Porsche Porsche Taycan — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Aston Martin DBX reads like this: the record lists its engine as 3.0 L Mercedes-AMG M256 turbocharged I6 (China) / 4.0 L Mercedes-AMG M177 twin-turbocharged V8; quoted output is 550 PS (405 kW) (DBX) / 435 PS (320 kW) (China-only DBX) / 707 PS (520 kW) (DBX707) / 727 PS (535 kW) (DBX S); kerb weight is recorded at 2245 kg; top speed is given as 292 km/h; drive goes through 9-speed 9G-Tronic automatic; the layout is Front-engine, four-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 245 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Aston Martin's own catalogue the Aston Martin DBX sits alongside the Aston Martin Mark II (1934), the Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3, the Aston Martin Vanquish II (2012), the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3. Design is credited to Marek Reichman. Assembly is recorded at United Kingdom: St Athan, South Wales (Aston Martin Lagonda Saint Athan).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
The catalogue records what the Aston Martin DBX was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
