2020 Aston Martin DBX

The DBX was Aston Martin's first SUV, and this 2020 car is the V8 version with the Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo engine. It makes 542 bhp and 700 lb-ft, enough for 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and a 181mph top speed. It is a genuine performance SUV with the dynamic polish Aston Martin engineered into the platform, rather than a luxury 4x4 with a sporty badge.

This example has covered 37,583 miles and is finished in grey. The options are well chosen: 22in gloss black diamond turned sport alloys with red brake calipers, and ventilated seating front and rear. Further touches include Aston Martin wings embroidered into the seats with contrast stitching, acoustic rear privacy glass and the Satin Silver Jewellery Pack. Blind spot monitoring and assistance are also fitted.

With a 2,700kg towing capacity, the DBX is practical as well as quick. Mileage is moderate for a 2020 car, and the colour and option combination is understated, with the red calipers adding some contrast.
