DBX
Britain's most beautiful SUV — grand touring ambition meets five-seat practicality · 5 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOTyler Clemmensen / PexelsOur verdict
8.0 / 10The Aston Martin DBX is the most visually arresting SUV on UAE roads — a genuine head-turner whose proportions put rivals to shame. The DBX707 in particular is brutally fast and surprisingly agile for its size. It sits at the crossroads of grand tourer and SUV, with a sumptuous hand-finished cabin and an engine note that rewards spirited driving on UAE highways. Servicing is specialist and the MBUX infotainment feels borrowed rather than bespoke, but for buyers who prize character and beauty above gadgetry, no other SUV delivers quite this way.
Who it's for — UAE connoisseurs who want a genuinely rare alternative to the Porsche/Lamborghini SUV crowd; buyers who prioritise sensory experience and visual drama over the latest driver-assistance tech; weekend grand-tourers who need occasional family practicality.
PROS
- +Stunning exterior design — the most beautiful SUV on sale in the UAE
- +DBX707's 707 hp makes it genuinely supercar-fast for a 2,245 kg SUV
- +Hand-finished British craftsmanship throughout the cabin
- +Driver-focused chassis with sharp steering and genuine engagement
- +Relative rarity — far fewer on UAE roads than Porsche or Lamborghini SUVs
CONS
- –Infotainment is Mercedes-derived and feels off-brand in a £200,000 car
- –Specialist servicing means fewer authorised centres vs German rivals
- –Resale values trail Porsche and Lamborghini in the UAE used market
- –Rear space and boot are adequate rather than generous for the footprint
- –Fuel economy is poor even by large-SUV standards
