Aston Martin DBX review

Overview

The Aston Martin DBX is a 5-door suv from Aston Martin, available with petrol power and 2 variants to choose from. Every DBX is brand new, delivered through the national Aston Martin franchise dealer network with its full manufacturer warranty and a 3 year / unlimited km service plan. Through Car4Less you get it below the manufacturer's retail price — and the Payment Saver Plan can bring your effective monthly instalment down even further.

In this review we look at what the Aston Martin DBX offers South African buyers — its range and pricing, how it drives, what it's like to live with, and who it suits best. As a 5-door suv, it's built around the things families value most: a commanding driving position, generous space, easy access and the flexibility to handle everything from the school run to the open road.

Range and pricing

Pricing for the Aston Martin DBX is confirmed on application. Enquire on WhatsApp and a consultant will quote the current Car4Less price — below the manufacturer's retail — along with the variant detail.

Performance and driving

Power outputs run from 520kW to 535kW across the range, available with Petrol power. The benchmark 0–100km/h sprint is quoted at around 3.3 seconds. For a 5-door suv, the DBX is tuned for relaxed, confident family motoring rather than outright speed — comfortable around town and stable on the open road.

Most buyers in this class care less about raw numbers than about how a car feels in daily use — and on that score the Aston Martin delivers the kind of unstressed, predictable driving experience that makes it easy to live with day after day.

Fuel economy and running costs

Claimed consumption ranges from 16.2 to 17.2 L/100km depending on variant and drivetrain. Those are respectable figures for the class, though as always your real-world number depends on how and where you drive.

Fuel is only part of the running-cost picture. Factor in insurance, tyres and servicing too — and remember that buying the DBX below retail through Car4Less reduces the amount you finance, trimming your interest over the whole term as well.

Interior, safety and practicality

and the fuel tank holds 85 litres. On the safety front, expect 7 airbags, alongside the active safety systems expected in this class.

Whatever the configuration, every Aston Martin DBX on Car4Less is a brand-new car with its full factory specification — not a stripped-out special. The model page lists the detailed specs so you can confirm exactly what each variant includes before you enquire.

Ownership and aftercare

Every Aston Martin DBX sold through Car4Less is brand new and delivered by the national Aston Martin franchise dealer network with the manufacturer's full warranty, a 3 year / unlimited km service plan. Servicing and warranty work can be carried out at any Aston Martin dealer in the country, so wherever you are, support is close by.

That national footprint is a real part of the ownership case. It means predictable servicing, easy access to parts, and the reassurance that your car can be looked after anywhere — all of which also helps protect its resale value down the line.

The Car4Less verdict

The Aston Martin DBX earns its place in our showroom on Aston Martin's reputation and the value it offers in its class. It does the important things well, it's backed by a strong dealer network, and it's a car you can buy with confidence.

What seals it is the price. Because Car4Less lists the DBX below the manufacturer's retail price — with the option of up to R3 000 a month back through the Payment Saver Plan for qualifying buyers — it's simply a smarter buy here than anywhere else. Browse the full variant line-up, compare it against its rivals, and enquire on WhatsApp when you're ready to drive one for less.
