Aston Martin
is known for making some of the coolest and most unique cars on the market. And now, the British automaker has made one of the most powerful SUVs ever with the latest version of the
Aston Martin DBX
. Here's a look at the brand-new 2023 Aston Martin DBX and just how powerful it really is compared to other SUVs.

The 2023 Aston Martin DBX now gets almost 700 horsepower

According to
MotorTrend
, Aston Martin just revealed the 2023 DBX 707, and like its name implies, it has a lot of horsepower. That said, the 707 in its name is a reference to the amount of power it has in metric units. 
Its 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 is a mild hybrid, and it gets 697 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Aston Martin also made some improvements under the hood, and the result is that the DBX is now even quicker than before. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds, and it tops out at about 193 mph.
Its top speed will be limited, however, if you need to equip it with
all-season tires
. With those tires, the DBX only tops out at 186 mph. Regardless, the DBX is one of the fastest gas-powered SUVs in the world.

The
Lamborghini Urus
is one of the fastest SUVs made in recent times, but with this new engine, the DBX should be a match for it. The DBX is a faster SUV already, as the Urus only tops out at 189 mph.
The Tesla Model X Plaid definitely has a faster acceleration than the new DBX, but the DBX dominates the Model X in terms of top speed. The Model X Plaid only tops out at 163 mph.
This new DBX is also more powerful than many competitors in terms of horsepower. It beats the Urus by 56 hp, and it's a 155 hp upgrade from the current DBX that's available. 
A couple of other SUVs have more horsepower, though. According to
Motor1
, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk special edition comes with up to 707 hp. But, while they are SUVs, they aren't luxury SUVs like the DBX is.

The big selling point of the brand-new DBX is its performance, but it's ultimately still a luxury SUV. It starts at about $235,000, and its interior is designed to be as comfortable as ever.
Some of the performance improvements that Aston Martin gave the DBX also improved its ride quality. 
The DBX also received an upgraded center console. Rather than having to fiddle around to select drive modes, there's now a rotary controller that'll allow drivers to more easily choose what drive mode they want. Aston Martin also gave the DBX a slightly new look on the outside, and it looks like a sporty SUV.
