2023 Aston Martin DBX 707

The DBX707 is the performance-focused evolution of Aston Martin's first SUV, with the "707" badge referencing the metric PS output of its twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 — a unit shared with AMG but tuned to produce 697bhp and 899lb/ft of torque in this application. When launched, it held the title of the world's most powerful production SUV. This 2023 car presents in Green with 34,214 miles on the clock — solid use for a three-year-old example but well short of the kind of mileage that warrants concern.

The 707 is mechanically distinct from the standard DBX in ways that go beyond the power increase. Aston Martin swapped the Torqueflite torque-converter automatic for a nine-speed wet-clutch unit, retuned the suspension with stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, and reworked the braking system with larger carbon-ceramic discs. The result is a 3.1-second 0-60mph time and a 193mph top speed, with the four-wheel-drive system keeping all of that torque in check. Despite the performance bias, the adaptive dampers maintain daily usability, and the 2,700kg towing rating gives it a practical argument that few Aston Martins can make.

The specification includes heated seats, Apple CarPlay, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. For buyers who want genuine Aston Martin performance credentials in an SUV body without the waiting list of a bespoke order, a low-ish-mileage 2023 example at this price represents a credible proposition in the current market.
