What is the Aston Martin DBX’s performance like compared to other luxury SUVs?

Slightly, yes. Every luxury brand is doing it though. At least Aston did make theirs look good and perform well.

Diluted? No. Evolved? Yes. Aston can't keep static forever, and the DBX is the smart move for the brand's future.

It’s not dilution if you are in the past. It's exciting that Aston can prove they can do more than sports cars.

I would say that it has strengthened the brand. It proves that Aston can play in a number of segments without losing their DNA.

It’s too early to tell, I think. I’ll call it a win if Aston can continue to make amazing sports cars with the DBX.

They already diluted the brand by producing four door cars. The DBX is actually just the next logical step.

It's a necessary evil. Aston may not survive without the DBX. You sometimes have to change to stay important.

Absolutely. Sports cars are what Aston Martin is all about, not family haulers. The DBX is simply following trends.

Not at all! Aston has brought a whole new audience to the DBX. It's evolution, not dilution.

It is plenty fast, but that’s not the point. It’s not just a case of numbers, it’s feel, and the DBX does feel special.

Performance is subjective. On paper, others might well be faster, but the way it delivers its power and handles is pure Aston. It's about the experience.

It would be near the top of the class. Not the absolute best in any one area, but very good across the board. Jack of all trades, master of none.

It's competitive, but not class-leading. The DBX is more about balance, it does well while also being comfortable and luxurious.

For an SUV, it's phenomenal. However, if pure performance is what you’re after, you’d be better off with one of Aston’s coupes.

It's a mixed bag. It's got impressive straight line speed, but the handling really shines. The car feels more like a sports car than most rivals.

It’s good, performance wise, but not class leading. The Cayenne Turbo handles better, but the Urus will smoke it in a straight line.

The DBX is a worthy contender against the best. It's not the quickest, but it's got that Aston Martin magic, it feels special to drive.
