    Peek Inside the Aston Martin DBX

      ...a preview of more to come...

    The Aston Martin DBX, the first SUV for the brand, will be debuting on November 20th in Beijing, China. However, some information and pictures have been released early. 

    The starting price of the DBX in the US will be $189,900.  A lot of money, but from the looks of the interior, it could be money well spent. The interior is draped in high quality leather, suede surfaces, and brushed metal trim.  AM says they spent 6-months just to determine the optimum seating position for 99th percentile male to the 5th percentile female.  This was done to make sure that all of the screens and even the hood are visible without restriction.  The center console is the floating bridge type that allows for storage underneath. 

    Order books for the  DBX open with the debut on the 20th of November.

    Love Aston's. DBS is one of my dream cars. That V12 music is so sweet!

    If Cadillac had an interior like that in an Escalade, Cadillac could raise the base price of an Escalade by at least $30,000 to $50,000 from where it is right now.  Too bad Cadillac will NOT do that.  Car/CUV interiors still matter.

    I looks nice inside, most Aston Martins look good on the outside as well.  The interior materials and quality look top notch.   $189k isn't that bad considering most Aston Martins cost more than that and I don't think look this nice on the inside.  

    This one has AMG V8 power, no V12.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they do a Lagonda SUV north of $300k, the millionaires and billionaires keep getting richer so the market is there.   They had a Lagonda concept that will probably turn into an SUV to slot above the DBX, assuming DBX does well, and I bet the DBX is their #1 seller right out of the gate.

      WTF kind of article is this? Piss-poor grammar and sentences. "By the time the odometer ticked past that 160,000 kilometre mark, equivalent to 160,000 kilometres, 99,000, the pack still retained over 90 percent of its original net capacity." Then it jumps to 91% remaining capacity somehow...? And when jumping to 91% capacity remaining, I don't think they did any math at all. See below for a paragraph that shouldn't be made as evidence of anything. As an engineer, this kind of "facts" should infuriate you.  "Battery health statistics can sound abstract until you translate them into the range figure you see on your dashboard. In this case, the Volkswagen ID. 3 Pro S started life with a usable pack of 77 kWh, and independent testing recorded an initial real world range of 77 k and 272 miles on a full charge. After the long term trial, the car still had 91% of its battery capacity, a figure that aligns with separate reporting that the Volkswagen ID 3 retained 91% battery capacity in a 160,000 kilometre test. In practice, that meant the car lost only around eight miles of usable range, a change small enough that you would struggle to notice in daily driving." 272 x .09 = 24.5 miles. Theoretically losing 9% would lose the owner about 25 miles of range, not 8 miles. It is now a 248-mile range EV.  This looks like some garbage AI-generated article.  Just for the record, I'm not saying that EVs don't have good battery management and degradation. I'm just saying this article was an embarrassing example to stand by.

      I genuinely didn't read anything that said winter range doesn't drop by nearly 40% for "well-made EVs". All it really said is charging is more available than ever with vehicles that can entertain and comfort the passengers while inside waiting.  What part of that article says anything about how far they've come and why the fear of winter on the battery pack is overblown?

      This is a Good Review of the Chinese EV and why American auto industry is Dead Man Walking. American stupidity just does not understand that competition from others have already surpassed the U.S. and no amount of Taxation on U.S. citizens is going to allow the industry to catch up. Idiot47 has truly screwed this country in going backwards as he criminally abuses the highest office in this country for his own gain. QUOTE: Chinese EV makers such as Xiaomi, BYD and Geely have earned global accolades because their cars deliver longer battery ranges and deeply integrated digital platforms. We’re talking software that feels smooth like a brand new smartphone, not a screen you have to jab five times to load a map. Plus, they often cost tens of thousands of dollars less than Western competitors. In Europe and Mexico, they’re blowing past Tesla and other EV rivals. “The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told me in an interview last year. “There’s no real competition from Tesla, GM or Ford with what we’ve seen from China.” Even Farley, after driving a Xiaomi SU7, said he didn’t want to part with it. I test drove a Chinese EV. Now I don’t want to buy American cars anymore.
