Aston martin DBX new car released the strongest luxury SUV on February 1.

　　 Aston martin, which rarely releases new cars, seems a little busy in 2022. In addition to the final version of Vantage V12, on February 1st, we will welcome a brand-new DBX (Configuration | Inquiry) high-performance SUV, which will become "the most powerful luxury SUV in the world". Not surprisingly, this new car will be DBX S, probably powered by V12 developed in aston martin, instead of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine from Mercedes -AMG currently used by DBX, DB11 and Vantage.

　　 According to the officially released Change is Coming preview video, some rims, body and interior of the new aston martin DBX S are displayed, and at the same time, we can appreciate the wonderful sound of the new car. More importantly, the release date of the new car has also been officially confirmed, and it will be launched worldwide on February 1, 2022. It is worth mentioning that the video description also wrote "Change is coming. Power talks。 The world’s most powerful luxury SUV。 01.02.22 (Change is just around the corner, and performance is king. Please look forward to the arrival of the world’s most powerful luxury SUV on February 1), which makes people can’t help but expect the new car to have unparalleled power performance.

　　 At present, aston martin DBX is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine from Mercedes -AMG, and its maximum output power is 542 HP (405 kW) and 700 Nm respectively. China also provides a light hybrid power of a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine because of tax reduction. Although DBX S may extend the enhanced version of the V8 engine of AMG, it is more likely to be its own 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Previous spy photos show that the sound of DBX S is similar to that of other V12 coupes DB11 and DBS Superleggera in aston martin. If the goal of DBX S is the most powerful luxury SUV, challenging competitors such as Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT with 631 horsepower, Bentley Tim Yue Speed with 626 horsepower, BMW X5 M Competition/X6 M Competition with 617 horsepower, Mercedes -AMG GLE/GLS 63 S with 603 horsepower and Rolls-Royce Cullinan with 600 horsepower, then V12 will undoubtedly be the biggest fire protection to achieve this goal.

　　 Aston martin can now have AMG-derived V12 engines with various power adjustment levels, ranging from 600 horsepower of DB11 to 715 horsepower of DBS, and 630 horsepower of DB11 AMR. However, DBX, a 4.0-liter V8 with 542 horsepower, can also be adjusted to increase the total power output, just as Mercedes AMG-GT Black Series can be upgraded to 720 horsepower with a flat crank. Of course, it will be simpler and cheaper for DBX to install a V8 engine with stronger output than V12, and it is obvious that the V8 engine is used in the preview video.

　　 Therefore, how much power DBX S needs to become the most powerful luxury SUV in the world depends on aston martin’s own definition of competitors. The 707-horsepower Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat have more than 700 horsepower, but we don’t expect new cars to surpass them, because these two American models are not luxury SUVs; The most powerful competitor, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, has only 671 horsepower plug-in hybrid transmission system.

　　 Previously, aston martin DBX S has been tested at newberg Forest Circuit, and its design has been exposed in advance. The new car will be more aggressive than the ordinary version, with a larger grille occupying the visual focus at the front, canceling the horizontal lath shape of the ordinary version and replacing it with a black grid pattern; The front bumper has been redesigned around the new grille, with a single deep air inlet that spans the entire width of the front and rises on both sides of the main radiator grille. The increase in the size of the air inlet indicates the need to cool more powerful power than before. A set of four-outlet tailpipes replaces the double-outlet setting of the ordinary version; Duck tail short tail and full width light bar and roof spoiler are still retained.

　　 In addition, DBX S will also use the improved adaptive air suspension settings to make a more sporty adjustment and improve the steering directivity. DBX S will kick off the new DBX model. Starting from the end of 2022, aston martin will also launch a six-cylinder light hybrid model, and plug-in hybrid vehicles are also in the pipeline. "DBX is about to enter the next chapter, which will set new performance standards. Are you ready for the world’s most powerful luxury SUV? " Aston martin said at the end of the preview video.
