Discussion
Looks like the press embargo has been lifted. There are several reviews and YouTube videos out there today. From what I’ve read DBX707 has been well received. I still think it’s a stupid name (maybe DBXS would have been better?) and I guess it won’t be long before the competition responds and dethrones it. It does look a lot meaner than standard DBX. Well done AM!

I ordered mine last week after a decent discount from the dealer.
I'd whined somewhat about the fact I'd purchased a "regular" DBX (used) from them only 3 months prior to the 707's annoucement.
Reviews are favourable and I love the "regular" car so can't wait!
Getting good reviews - sure it will be a hoot . I'd whined somewhat about the fact I'd purchased a "regular" DBX (used) from them only 3 months prior to the 707's annoucement.

I can hardly tell one SUV from another. The UK roads are now covered with the things, often seen overhanging parking bays.
Please explain how to spot the, 'does look a lot meaner'.
Perhaps you should read some of the reviews, or perhaps you could drop Marek an email? I’m sure he could give you a detailed summary of the key differences between them if you’re struggling to see it yourself.

Thank you, but it would be quite tedious for me, because I don't like SUVs.
Although looking huge, many don't have any additional interior space or boot capacity, just have a much high floor and therefore a raised centre of gravity.
They inevitably all have an almost identical silhouette and the pecking order is to aim for the largest possible model.
On the 707, I can see a couple of differences. Each grille slat has a horizontal indentation. The running lights consist of a horizontal line instead of a rectangle. Impressive.

You appear to be proposing, that we should stop answering posters questions.
Most topics would be very short, if that was seconded.
Am I allowed to say, I like Honda sports cars cornering at Oulton Park ?
Under the new rules, don't answer that.

To my eyes, the 707 looks a lot more aggressive than the "regular" DBX. https://youtu.be/FDa0LQdqkDM?t=523
Try that video, from 8:43 to 9:15. It shows a regular DBX next to a 707 - the front bumper is clearly more aggressive and angular.
The main bit for me that I hadn't really noticed in photos, but do in that video, is how aggressive the rear diffuser area is on the 707.
Like them or not, it gives it a lot of presence in the flesh.

That would mean that only people who approve of the subject matter are allowed to comment.Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
