Aston Martin DBX S: Engine and Performance
The 2026 Aston Martin DBX S is equipped with an AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering an impressive 717 horsepower—a notable boost from its predecessor, the DBX 707. With upgraded turbochargers and additional engine refinements, the DBX S crosses into genuine “starts-with-a-7” horsepower territory, while still maintaining the same top speed of 193 mph and an identical 0-62 mph time of 3.3 seconds.
With an all-wheel-drive system capable of directing up to 100% of torque to the rear wheels, the DBX S is a symphony of agility and precision. It retains the nine-speed automatic transmission while refining shift points for sportier driving modes. Enhanced downshifts and an extended rev range ensure every ride feels exhilarating.

2026 Aston Martin DBX S: Exterior and Interior Design
Buyers looking to maximize the lightweight features of the DBX S will appreciate options that can reduce its weight by up to 103 pounds. These include a carbon fiber roof, magnesium alloy wheels, and various carbon fiber components for side sills, the rear bumper, and tailgate wing. Aston Martin’s attention to detail ensures that even with these weight reductions, the DBX S remains a powerhouse on the road, weighing in at approximately 4,846 pounds.
The DBX S has eye-catching visual alterations such as a black-painted grille, carbon-fiber accents, and vertical quad exhaust pipes. Customers can customize their ride with finishes in Rosso Corsa Red, Trophy Silver, or Podium Green.
Inside, the cabin radiates refinement with Alcantara upholstery, semi-aniline leather bolsters, and herringbone-patterned seats. Additional luxury features include crimson seatbelts, a 14-speaker sound system, and an optional Bowers & Wilkins 23-speaker system.
