The moment you settle into the hand-stitched leather driver's seat of the 2025 Aston Martin DBX707, it becomes clear this isn't just another luxury SUV navigating Montreal's bustling streets. This is a statement piece—a 697-horsepower testament to British engineering excellence that delivers supercar thrills while maintaining the practicality Quebec families demand.
Raw Performance That Defies Physics
Fire up the Mercedes-AMG-derived 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, and the DBX707 announces its intentions with a purposeful growl that reverberates through the cabin. The numbers tell part of the story: 0-100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h. Experience this acceleration—feel your body pressed into those perfectly bolstered seats as the electronic all-wheel drive system delivers torque with surgical precision—and you'll understand the true character of this machine.
The sophisticated 9-speed automatic transmission shifts with the smoothness you'd expect from a vehicle of this calibre, while the limited-slip differential ensures power reaches the pavement exactly where it's needed. From merging onto the Autoroute 40 to navigating the winding roads of the Laurentians, the DBX707's 2,242-kilogram curb weight feels surprisingly manageable thanks to the adaptive triple-chamber air suspension.
Interior Craftsmanship That Redefines Luxury
Step inside, and you're greeted by Aston Martin's completely refreshed cabin for 2025. The new 12.3-inch centre touchscreen showcases the brand's in-house digital interface, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity keep you connected to your Montreal lifestyle. The control buttons have been redesigned with improved ergonomics, making every interaction feel intentional and refined.
The attention to detail is extraordinary. Hand-stitched leather surfaces are complemented by genuine metal and wood veneers, while customizable colour-contrast piping allows for personal expression. The 16-way heated and ventilated power sports seats provide comfort during those long drives to the Eastern Townships, while the panoramic glass roof floods the cabin with natural light—a welcome feature during Quebec's lengthy winters.
Key Luxury Features:
- 14-speaker 800-watt Aston Martin Premium Audio system
- Soft-close doors with premium acoustic insulation
- Available bespoke embroidery and custom finishes
- Inspire Sport or Inspire Comfort environment options
- Generous rear-seat legroom for adult passengers
Technology That Enhances the Experience
The 2025 model year brings technological advancement to the DBX lineup. Aston Martin's new user interface responds to natural voice commands, while Over-the-Air software update capability ensures your vehicle stays current with future enhancements. The head-up display projects essential driving information directly into your line of sight, maintaining focus on the road ahead.
Safety technology doesn't take a backseat to performance. Standard adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking provide confidence during daily commutes through Montreal traffic. The 360-degree camera system and surround-view cameras make navigating tight urban spaces surprisingly manageable for such a substantial vehicle.
Practical Luxury for Canadian Lifestyles
Despite its supercar credentials, the DBX707 doesn't compromise on practicality. The 694-litre cargo area provides ample space for weekend getaways to Mont-Tremblant or shopping excursions along Rue Sainte-Catherine. With seating for five and a 2,700-kilogram towing capacity, this SUV adapts to whatever your Quebec lifestyle demands.
The combined fuel economy of 14 litres per 100 kilometres (city: 15.7, highway: 12.0) reflects the vehicle's performance nature, but remains reasonable considering the power on tap. Standard 22-inch alloy wheels and massive carbon ceramic brakes ensure this SUV delivers the stopping power to match its acceleration capabilities.
