Aston Martin DBX GT Adds Ultra-Luxury Trim to 727PS Super-SUV Range

• Aston Martin has added a new DBX GT trim that softens the DBX S for buyers who want luxury over outright aggression, while keeping the same 727PS V8 engine.
• The DBX GT seats five, adds a 10mm memory foam layer to the front seats and cuts cabin noise with thicker glass and extra sound deadening.
• First deliveries start in the final quarter of 2026, with Aston Martin yet to confirm UK pricing or fuel economy figures.

A quieter way into Aston Martin’s fastest SUV family

Aston Martin builds two versions of its DBX super-SUV, and until now the loudest one got most of the attention. The DBX S arrived as the brand’s sportiest, most aggressive take on the luxury SUV formula. The new DBX GT, revealed on 1 October, sits alongside it with the same engine and the same performance figures but a completely different personality.

Where the S shouts, the GT speaks quietly. Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark put it plainly: the DBX GT targets buyers who “prefer assured elegance over sporting aggression and demand a higher degree of luxury,” while giving up nothing in a straight line.

Same 727PS engine, a different attitude

Under the bonnet sits the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 found in the DBX S, producing 727PS and 900Nm of torque. That is enough to send the DBX GT from 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 193mph, figures that match its sportier sibling almost exactly. Aston Martin says the GT shares turbocharger technology with the mid-engined Valhalla supercar.

Power reaches all four wheels through a 9-speed automatic gearbox with an electronic rear limited-slip differential and four on-road drive modes. Carbon ceramic brakes, measuring 420mm at the front, provide the stopping power, while adaptive air suspension and a 48-volt active anti-roll system manage body control.

The GT does differ from the S underneath the skin. Aston Martin’s engineers recalibrated the damper settings specifically for the GT, adding a new internal damper valve designed to filter out vibrations from rough road surfaces and rumble strips without softening body control when the car is driven hard. Two new longitudinal dampers connect the rear subframe to the body, a change borrowed from lessons learned on the Valhalla programme, intended to improve how the car handles potholes and sharp compressions.

Inside: memory foam seats and a quieter cabin

The cabin is where the DBX GT makes its clearest case. Front and rear seats have been redesigned with a 10mm memory foam layer added to the cushions, and the GT introduces a new individually sculpted rear seat layout that keeps five-seat capacity while giving rear passengers more lateral support on long motorway drives. A panoramic glass roof is fitted as standard.

Aston Martin has also targeted noise. Thicker sound deadening in the door panels, both wheel arch zones and the rear load space, combined with acoustic laminated rear side glass, is said to cut unwanted road, wind and traffic noise. The brand quotes a 13 percent improvement in “Articulation Index,” the industry measure of how easy it is to hold a conversation on the move, whether that is chatting with a passenger or taking a call through the standard Bower & Wilkins audio system.

Material changes extend to the leather work. Aston Martin says each front seat takes more than four and a half hours to build, using 691 metres of thread and 3,297 perforation holes across the semi-aniline leather upholstery, with GT-specific quilting and embroidery not offered on other DBX models.

Exterior changes and wheel options

Visually, the DBX GT trades the S’s aggressive details for a new double-vaned grille, a two-piece metal side strake finished with a mix of polished and satin metal, and body-coloured lower bumpers, sills and rear diffuser fitted as standard. A new 22-inch forged wheel wears a Satin Titanium diamond-turned finish and comes with all-season tyres, chosen to improve ride comfort and cut road noise for daily use. Buyers wanting a sportier look can specify an optional 23-inch wheel and tyre package instead.

New quad exhaust finishers sit side by side in a horizontal layout, finished in a mix of bright polished and satin anodised metal. Aston Martin notes the DBX GT shares the title of the world’s most powerful pure combustion SUV with the DBX S.

Pricing, availability and how it compares

Aston Martin has not yet confirmed UK pricing for the DBX GT, nor has it published official fuel economy or CO2 figures, which remain listed as “awaiting homologation.” First deliveries are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, meaning the earliest customer cars should reach driveways before the end of the year.

The DBX S currently starts from just over £190,000 in the UK, and the GT is expected to sit in a similar bracket given the shared running gear, positioning it against rivals such as the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga rather than mainstream luxury SUVs. For buyers cross-shopping that segment, the DBX GT offers the same performance numbers as the sportier DBX S, wrapped in a cabin built for long motorway drives rather than track days.

Aston Martin builds the DBX range at its St Athan plant in Wales, and the GT becomes the third distinct character in the DBX line-up alongside the standard DBX and the DBX S.
