2027 Aston Martin DBX GT Revealed With 717 HP and a More Luxurious Focus
Table of Contents
Aston Martin has expanded the DBX lineup for 2027 with the new DBX GT, a more comfort focused version of its high performance luxury SUV. The new model keeps the same 717 horsepower output as the DBX S, but Aston Martin has retuned the suspension, transmission and several chassis components to give it a more refined character.
The 2027 Aston Martin DBX GT will sit alongside the sportier DBX S, while the DBX 707 is being dropped from the lineup.
2027 Aston Martin DBX GT: What Is New?
The DBX GT takes a different approach from the aggressive DBX S. Instead of focusing mainly on a sporty appearance, Aston Martin has given the GT cleaner exterior details and a more luxurious cabin.
The biggest mechanical difference is the revised suspension. Aston Martin has reworked the dampers to improve the way the SUV handles rough roads while maintaining body control during faster driving.
The transmission also receives a retune, while the throttle pedal gets a revised feel for better precision.
Here are the main highlights:
- 717 horsepower from a twin turbocharged 4.0 liter V8
- 664 pound feet of torque
- 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds
- 193 mph claimed top speed
- Retuned suspension and dampers
- Revised nine speed automatic transmission
- Carbon ceramic brakes
- New 22 inch wheels
- Standard panoramic glass roof
- More heavily cushioned seats
- Additional cabin sound insulation
Cleaner Exterior Than the DBX S
The DBX GT gets a cleaner appearance than the more aggressive DBX S.
Aston Martin has replaced the DBX S’s wide mesh grille with horizontal bars. Buyers can choose between bright and dark finishes. Similar horizontal elements appear around the outer edges of the bumper next to the horizontal LED daytime running lights.
The lower grille also drops the red detailing used on the DBX S. Instead, the area gets a more understated treatment.
The front fender features a two piece metal side strake with a combination of polished and satin finishes. The lower front bumper, side sills and rear diffuser are painted in body color rather than black.
That small change makes a noticeable difference to the overall appearance. The GT looks less like it is trying to pick a fight with every sports car at the traffic light.
New Wheels and Exhaust Design
The DBX GT comes standard with new 22 inch wheels finished in Satin Titanium.
These wheels are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Zero all season tires as standard. Aston Martin will also offer a 23 inch wheel package with Pirelli P Zero summer tires for buyers who want a more performance oriented setup.
The exhaust design is also different. The four exhaust outlets are arranged side by side rather than stacked vertically.
Aston Martin has also developed a unique exhaust tune for the GT. The company says it produces a cleaner and richer tone.
More Luxurious DBX GT Interior
The interior is where Aston Martin has pushed the GT’s luxury focus further.
The seats receive new ornate embroidery, with stitching running up the sides and framing the shoulder pads and headrests.
Both the front and rear seats receive additional cushioning. Aston Martin has added a new 0.4 inch thick memory foam layer to improve comfort.
The rear cabin also gets a slightly different treatment. The two outer seats have more pronounced bolstering, making them look more like individual seats. The center seat uses a different color of upholstery.
Aston Martin has also added more decorative interior details. The drive mode selector, for example, gets an anodized metal finish.
Deep pile floor mats add another luxury touch, while a standard panoramic glass roof brings more light into the cabin.
Quieter Cabin for the DBX GT
Aston Martin has also worked on cabin refinement.
The company says it reduced interior noise by making changes to the body structure and adding more sound deadening material inside the door panels and wheel arches.
The DBX GT also gets acoustic laminated rear side glass.
These changes are important because the GT is not simply a DBX S with different seats. Aston Martin has specifically adjusted the vehicle to make it more comfortable and quieter.
717 HP From the Same V8 Engine
Under the hood, the DBX GT uses the familiar twin turbocharged 4.0 liter V8.
The engine produces:
| Specification | 2027 Aston Martin DBX GT |
|---|---|
| Engine | 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 |
| Power | 717 hp |
| Torque | 664 lb ft |
| 0 to 60 mph | 3.1 seconds |
| Top Speed | 193 mph |
| Transmission | 9 speed automatic |
The power figures are identical to the DBX S. Aston Martin says the DBX GT can reach 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 193 mph.
So despite the GT’s more relaxed personality, there is no shortage of performance.
Suspension Tuned for Comfort
The biggest difference between the DBX GT and the sportier DBX S is likely to be behind the wheel.
Aston Martin has developed a unique suspension setup for the GT. The dampers have been reworked to absorb bumps more effectively on rough roads while maintaining body control when the SUV is driven quickly.
The throttle pedal has also been revised to provide a more precise response.
The nine speed automatic transmission receives its own retuning as well. Aston Martin says the changes are intended to produce smoother feeling gear shifts.
A new transmission mount bushing has also been installed to better control movement between the transmission and the vehicle body.
There are also two new longitudinal dampers between the body and rear subframe.
Carbon Ceramic Brakes
Despite its comfort focused character, the DBX GT still gets serious braking hardware.
The SUV uses carbon ceramic brakes with:
- 16.5 inch front discs
- 15.4 inch rear discs
That gives the GT braking hardware suited to its 717 horsepower output and high performance capabilities.
2027 Aston Martin DBX GT vs DBX S
The basic difference between the two models comes down to their character.
| Feature | DBX GT | DBX S |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 717 hp | 717 hp |
| Focus | Luxury and comfort | Sportier driving |
| Suspension | Comfort focused retuning | Sportier setup |
| Exterior | Cleaner and more elegant | More aggressive |
| Interior | Additional cushioning and luxury trim | Sportier character |
| Wheels | 22 inch standard | Sport oriented setup |
| Exhaust | GT specific tuning | Sportier setup |
The GT does not sacrifice engine performance to deliver more comfort. Instead, Aston Martin has kept the same power while changing the way the SUV feels and looks.
When Will the 2027 Aston Martin DBX GT Arrive?
Aston Martin says the DBX GT will begin reaching customers in the fourth quarter of 2026.
For the 2027 model year, the GT will sit alongside the DBX S.
The DBX 707, meanwhile, will leave the lineup.
Aston Martin has not yet announced official pricing for the DBX GT. The expected starting price is around $290,000, although the final figure has not been confirmed by the automaker.
2027 Aston Martin DBX GT: The Bottom Line
The 2027 Aston Martin DBX GT takes a slightly different route with the DBX. It keeps the 717 horsepower V8 and the serious performance figures, but moves the focus toward comfort, quieter driving and a more elegant appearance.
The revised suspension, smoother transmission tuning, additional seat cushioning, upgraded upholstery and improved sound insulation all point in the same direction.
It is essentially the DBX for someone who wants the performance of a super SUV without making the cabin feel like it is permanently preparing for a track day.
