The Aston Martin DBX GT has made its international debut, arriving as a comfort-focused version of the brand’s high-performance SUV with deliveries scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to reports from Times Now. Priced from around £207,000, the new model targets buyers seeking “assured elegance over sporting aggression,” taking direct aim at Bentley Bentayga customers while leaving the more aggressive DBX S to contend with the Lamborghini Urus and Ferrari Purosangue.
Performance Credentials and Engine Specifications
Despite its softer aesthetic and emphasis on quiet luxury, the DBX GT retains the exact powertrain from its more aggressive sibling. Under the bonnet sits a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 717 bhp and 900 Nm of torque (664 lb ft), paired with a nine-speed wet-clutch automatic gearbox. According to manufacturer specifications, the SUV matches the DBX S by sprinting from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds) and reaches a claimed top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph). Stopping power is handled by 420mm front and 390mm rear carbon-ceramic brakes.
Exterior Styling and Design Differences
To set the GT apart from the motorsport-inspired DBX S, designers overhauled the exterior styling to emphasize clean lines and restrained elegance. The vehicle replaces the S model’s aggressive honeycomb grille with a new dual-vaned front grille available in bright chrome or dark metal finishes. Additional changes include redesigned outer vents, daytime running lights, and a two-piece metal side strake finished in bright silver rather than black. The lower bodywork—including the bumpers, side sills, and rear diffuser—is painted to match the body, abandoning the black splitters of the S. At the rear, the quad exhaust pipes are arranged horizontally rather than stacked in pairs, and the vehicle rides on bespoke 22-inch forged wheels with Satin Titanium diamond-cut detailing as standard.
Interior Craftsmanship and Noise Reduction
Cabin comfort represents the most significant departure from the standard vehicle, with Aston Martin introducing a 10mm layer of memory foam, revised bolstering, and extra cushioning for both front and rear seats. The interior offers GT-specific monotone, duotone, and tritone upholstery choices, paired with detailed quilting, perforation, bespoke embroidery, semi-aniline leather, and deep-pile carpets. A panoramic glass roof comes fitted as standard. To enhance ride refinement, the manufacturer added extra sound insulation, acoustic laminated rear side glass, and improved sealing, resulting in a 13% improvement in the Articulation Index to ease communication inside the cabin while moving.
The evolution of the DBX lineup
The original DBX was dropped from the lineup in 2024, leaving the potent DBX 707 as the sole variant before it was superseded by the uprated DBX S.
Suspension Setup and Wheel Options
Ride compliance is a central focus for the DBX GT, which features revised suspension, steering, and transmission calibration. While 22-inch wheels come standard and can be wrapped in all-season tyres to minimize road noise and maximize ride comfort, buyers can optionally upgrade to 23-inch wheels fitted with either Pirelli P Zero summer tyres or Scorpion Zero all-season tyres.
