2023 DBX Coupe

[MMarkM]

Apologies if this is a repost, I've not seen anything about this until today, apparently there will be a new Coupe released in 2023.

Whilst it's just a mock up pic Iiked it and think it makes perfect sense for AML
Nice to hear Moers talking about better quality interiors as this is def needed to keep up with the likes of Bentley which just look a bit special inside

There was an analyst question (H1 2022 Results Q&A) about DBX derivatives. Are there still going to be six versions?

I forget the precise details of LS's reply.

He mentioned the first two derivatives, in-line 6 MHEV now on sale in China and the 707. He might have mentioned a Coupe.
Think he also said, the previously proposed Long Wheelbase and Cab (would that be soft top?) versions, are not proceeding.

That's from May '21

it does makes sense to maximize their R&D spend on that chassis/platform with new variants. Convertible probably wouldn't look right or sell very well but the "coupe" 4 door SUVs seem to be popular. Then who knows maybe a LWB would have a niche high priced market.

It's all BMW's fault for "inventing" the SUV coupe with the X6 that spawned the Cayenne, Merc and now (maybe) this.

I honestly never saw the appeal, but whatever float your boat.

Never understood the SUV coupe. An SUV is a practical form factor, chopping the roofline down over the boot makes it less so.

I think the DBX does a good enough job of being “swoopy” at the rear as it is.

Interesting to see if they do a LWB/7 seater variant.

Not according to LS. See earlier post.

Been for a look at my 707 today at Nottingham ahead of delivery. It's a gorgeous thing but more than swoopy enough for me in full fat form.

It has a similar profile to the wife's Cayenne turbo S Coupe, not sure how they'd shrink the boot even more.

Ooo nice. When did you order yours? I ordered mine back in April so looking at a Sept delivery.

Tell me more about your spec!

Agreed, hideous looking things, quite vulgar imo.

BMW X6 (E71) was introduced in 2008; Porsche Cayenne (9PA) was introduced in 2002. Just sayin'

I think EVR was referring to the coupe versions of those SUVs. The Cayenne Coupe was introduced in 2019.

Thanks for sharing, that’s very handsome. The Dbx has successfully captured the cross between luxury, performance and style. I understand that coupe versions of SUVs don’t work particularly well in the UK but they are superb in other regions. Fingers crossed they develop it with a v12!

Ordered in March, arrived at Nottingham on Monday. Might've been a bit quicker but it was caught up in the parts delays as described in AML's H1 results. For my car these involved the front pieces of the lower carbon pack.

I went for Divine Red with an Onyx Black interior with Chancellor Red highlights. All the carbon options, black 23" wheels, bronze calipers. It looks stunning!

Haven't driven it yet as it's gone straight from the dealer for paint correction and PPF/GTechniq etc.

Wow brave for ordering the lower carbon pack! I desperately wanted it but couldn’t justify the cost to be honest. Also very scared about damage! Full PPF is the way for sure.

I’ve gone for AMR green, sandstorm/black interior, bronze calipers too with the 23” forged wheels. Very excited!

That will be a really classy spec, congrats! I'd have gone green too but have already done that on my V12 Vantage order so wanted a contrast.

P.S. not sure how you'd make a Coupe out of this, the rake on the rear glass is about the same as the wife's Cayenne Coupe

Congrats on the dbx and the vantage v12!

That’s gorgeous! Agreed the DBX is swoopy enough. Can’t wait to hear how you get on with the 707. I’m finally getting round to test driving one tomorrow, I’m hoping it’s a solid upgrade over my early DBX.
