Aston Martin DBX GT: comfort-led SUV joins DBX S on shared 727 PS V8

What launched

On 1 October 2026, Aston Martin announced the DBX GT from Gaydon, with a world debut at the brand’s new Q London venue on Berkeley Square. The model is the comfort- and luxury-focused counterpart to the performance-oriented DBX S, expanding the DBX range without a disclosed price or volume plan.

How it splits from DBX S

Both variants share the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (727 PS / ~717 hp, 900 Nm), carbon-ceramic brakes (420 mm front / 390 mm rear), and the faster steering ratio introduced on DBX S. DBX GT adds GT-unique damper valves for low-speed compliance, Valhalla-derived transmission mounts, retuned throttle and 9-speed wet-clutch shift feel, a quieter exhaust tune in GT mode, standard panoramic glass roof, and cabin acoustic measures that Aston Martin says deliver a ~13% Articulation Index gain. Exterior cues include a double-vane grille and horizontal quad exhausts.

“DBX GT is aimed at customers who prefer assured elegance over sporting aggression and demand a higher degree of luxury.” — Adrian Hallmark, CEO, Aston Martin (OEM statement, via Automotive World)

Procurement / BD takeaway

Aston Martin is widening DBX appeal through calibration and targeted hardware on a common V8 / platform rather than a new powertrain. Comfort vs sport differentiation (dampers, mounts, acoustic pack, seats) implies high supplier commonality with DBX S on the engine, gearbox, AWD hardware, and carbon-ceramic brake set — with GT-specific damper valves, transmission mounts, glass/acoustic content, and interior trim as the differentiation stack. Watch for DBX S tracker coverage and any OEM confirmation of 707 run-out timing, pricing, or annual volumes.
