2027 Aston Martin DBX GT Turns the 707 Into a More Refined Super-SUV

• The DBX GT produces 717 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, reaching 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.
• Compared with the DBX707 philosophy, the GT trades some of the visual and dynamic aggression for a quieter cabin, softer ride and more luxurious interior.
• New suspension tuning, 22-inch wheels, redesigned seats and additional sound insulation make the GT the comfort-oriented member of Aston Martin’s high-performance SUV family.

From DBX707 aggression to DBX GT sophistication

The Aston Martin DBX707 established the British automaker as a real player in the high-performance SUV segment. Now, Aston Martin is taking that formula in a distinctly different direction with the new 2027 DBX GT.

Rather than chasing even more visual aggression, the DBX GT is designed as the more sophisticated side of Aston Martin’s SUV range. It joins the performance-focused DBX S and combines essentially supercar-level performance with greater emphasis on ride quality, cabin isolation and craftsmanship. Aston Martin describes the GT as an interpretation aimed at buyers who favour elegance over overt sportiness.

That philosophy represents the biggest departure from the DBX707. The original 707 was conceived as the sharper, more powerful evolution of the DBX. The GT retains that performance DNA but attempts to make it easier to live with every day.

717 HP, but delivered differently

There has been no meaningful retreat on power. Under the hood sits Aston Martin’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, producing 717 hp, and 664 lb-ft of torque. Turbocharger technology is shared with the mid-engine Valhalla supercar.

Power is sent through a nine-speed automatic transmission using a multi-plate wet clutch. The DBX GT accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reaches 310 km/h. Carbon-ceramic brakes measuring 420 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear are standard.

Where the GT differs is in how that performance is delivered. Aston Martin recalibrated throttle response for smoother, more progressive inputs and revised transmission programming to make shifts more consistent during relaxed driving. Sport and Sport+ modes remain available when the driver wants the DBX to show its more aggressive personality.

The exhaust has also received a dedicated calibration. GT mode prioritizes a quieter, richer sound, while Sport and Sport+ open things up considerably.

A softer chassis without turning soft

Aston Martin has made substantial chassis changes to separate the GT from the more aggressive DBX variants.

The adaptive suspension receives revised damper calibration and unique internal valves designed to better filter high-frequency road imperfections. Additional longitudinal dampers between the body and rear subframe improve isolation over potholes, crests and large suspension movements.

The DBX GT comes standard with 22-inch forged wheels and Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Season tires. The smaller wheels and higher-profile tires were deliberately selected to improve compliance and reduce road noise. Buyers can still opt for 23-inch wheels.

The steering remains quick, however, and the GT retains the DBX S‘s 13.8:1 ratio. In other words, Aston Martin has softened the rough edges without removing the responses expected from a DBX.

A more discreet exterior

The design follows the same philosophy. Where the DBX707 made a point of advertising its performance, the GT adopts a cleaner and more restrained appearance.

A new double-vane grille stretches visually into the outer air intakes, while a two-piece metal side strake combines polished and satin finishes. The lower bumper, side sills and rear diffuser are body-coloured as standard, reducing the visual contrast normally associated with performance-oriented SUVs.

At the rear, four exhaust outlets remain, but they are positioned horizontally in pairs. The overall result is less confrontational than the 707-inspired approach and more consistent with the GT’s luxury positioning.

The biggest changes are inside

The cabin arguably provides the clearest explanation for why the DBX GT exists.

Both front and rear seats have been redesigned, including new cushioning, revised bolsters and a 10-mm layer of memory foam. Rear passengers receive individually sculpted seating positions while the DBX retains five-passenger capability.

Semi-aniline leather, deep-pile carpeting and GT-specific quilting, perforation and embroidery further distinguish the interior. Aston Martin says each front seat requires 691 metres of thread, 3,297 perforations and more than four and a half hours of craftsmanship.

Additional insulation, improved sealing and acoustic laminated rear side glass also reduce outside noise. Aston Martin reports a 13-percent improvement in its Articulation Index measurement, intended to quantify how easily occupants can hold a conversation while driving.

A different interpretation of the DBX707 idea

The DBX GT isn’t simply a replacement for the DBX707 concept. Instead, Aston Martin has effectively split the personality of its ultimate SUV.

It still offers 717 hp, a 310-km/h top speed and acceleration worthy of a sports car, but wraps those numbers in a quieter, more comfortable and deliberately understated package. Where the DBX707 made its performance impossible to ignore, the DBX GT is designed to keep much of it in reserve.

First deliveries of the Aston Martin DBX GT are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
