The new Aston Martin DBX STRAIGHT-SIX is basically the same as the V8 model in terms of appearance, and the brand's signature largemouth grille is quite atmospheric and brave. The flat headlights are similar in shape to the new VANTAGE headlights, with a boomerang design. There is a circle of enveloping kits at the front lip, which shows that although it is an SUV model, it still perfectly inherits the sports car dna of its brand. It is worth noting that the word "STRAIGHT-SIX" has been added to the ventilation holes of the side fenders to highlight the identity.
The 10.25-inch + 12.3-inch screen setting in the car provides a rich display of information for the driver, apple CARPLAY is standard, and the 360-degree camera system and ambient lighting provide 64 different colors in two areas. The floating center console design frees up more storage space for bits and pieces. In addition, the high-end leather material decoration that can be seen everywhere in the car, even covering the trunk partition, further enhances the luxury of this SUV.
On the power level, the DBX STRAIGHT-SIX retains the dynamic driving performance of the Aston Martin DBX V8 while enabling a more efficient and luxurious driving experience with the help of electric assist systems. The new 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder powertrain is powered by mild hybrid technology, replacing the traditional starter motor and alternator with a 48V integrated starter generator, giving the DBX STRAIGHT-SIX a high performance of 435 hp and 520 Nm of torque, and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.4 seconds. Combining outstanding fuel efficiency, the lightweight design of the engine has reduced the weight of the vehicle by up to 30 kg, and the fuel consumption under WLTC conditions has been reduced from 13.0L/100km to 10.5L/100km compared to the DBX V8 version.
