REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOShantum Singh / PexelsOur verdict
8.6 / 10The DB12 is Aston Martin's confident reinvention of the classic GT formula — a hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with 671 hp, dressed in arguably the most beautiful bodywork on sale today. Positioned at AED 1.08M it sits in genuine supercar territory in the UAE, but what you get is a long-legged tourer with effortless motorway manners, a bespoke interior, and a soundtrack money cannot buy elsewhere. Specialist servicing and a narrow authorised network are the ownership realities to weigh.
Who it's for — Connoisseurs who value craft and British heritage over spec-sheet maximalism — buyers who want something achingly beautiful and emotionally rewarding rather than the fastest or most tech-laden car in the segment.
PROS
- +Stunning design — genuinely one of the most beautiful cars on sale
- +671 hp V8 is explosive yet tractable for long UAE highway runs
- +Deeply bespoke interior quality and Q personalisation options
- +Improved tech and connectivity over the DB11 generation
- +Softer ride than the Vantage while remaining genuinely sporty
CONS
- –Only two authorised service points in UAE — ownership logistics matter
- –Resale values trail German rivals significantly
- –300 L boot is tight for a grand tourer on extended trips
- –No hybrid option; fuel economy underwhelming in UAE city traffic
- –High options and personalisation costs can push well above AED 1.4M
