One of the best-driving—maybe *the* best-driving—SUVs on earth.
the near impossible by eliciting feelings of happiness and joy from nearly all our judges. This is no easy task, we assure you. Unanimity is the rarest of occurrences at, so getting six of seven judges to feel roughly the same about any vehicle is an accomplishment in and of itself. The 2023 season just turned out to be one of those embarrassment-of-riches years, where we could only bring along so many finalists. To put it into tournament poker terms, the DBX707 bubbled.
The judging team thought the DBX707 was noticeably drive-mode dependent."Sport is the correct mode for track driving," features editor Scott Evans said."Sport Plus is super-fun drift mode. It's great sliding this thing around, but you're much slower through every single corner because you're always managing the rear end with the throttle. In Sport mode the power going to the front makes the car much more neutral and much better at going around a track quickly.
There's also a difficult-to-categorize, difficult-to-put-your-finger-on specialness to the DBX707. Call it an elusive X-factor; we just like it."The Aston is super cool," executive editor Mac Morrison said. Editorial operations boss Mike Floyd noted the"raging baritone of this monster SUV is pretty darn special." Mexico editor Miguel Cortina simply said,"This is a great, great-driving SUV.
Technical director and Old Man Buzzkill himself Frank Markus popped in with a big, icy-cold bucket of reality:"Fun to drive, but I end up asking myself, does the world really need a car that is this powerful and sits this high? I suppose buyers will answer that question, but I don't think its performance is spectacular enough to beat the many proper low-slung performance vehicles we've gathered here." Yeah, OK, fine, we feel that.
