Pros Powerful six-cylinder engine delivers quick acceleration More cargo space than most rivals Handles and brakes like a sport sedan
Cons Too many creaks and squeaks from interior trim More road and wind noise in the cabin than in competitors Some controls are needlessly complicated
Following a more thorough refresh for the 2021 model year, the F-Pace is largely unchanged for 2022 and continues to offer the same powertrains, features, and designs as last year's model.
Pros Inspired handling for an SUV, refined engines, roomy cargo bay.
Cons Infotainment system needs some kinks worked out, ride is stiff on larger wheels, cabin’s storage cubbies are dinky.
Pros Athletic ride and handling Muscular optional engines Spacious, high-end interior Intuitive infotainment system
Cons High starting price Underwhelming power with base engine
The 2020 Aston Martin DBX is a midsize SUV that the British company unveiled in 2019. The first SUV to wear an Aston Martin badge, the DBX rides on an exclusive platform, but shares powertrain elements with the company’s sports cars. Powered by the same 4.0-liter V-8 found in the DB11 and the Vantage, the DBX boasts 542 horsepower, which turns it into a competitor for the Bentley Bentayga and the Lamborghini Urus. Likewise, the DBX sports a luxurious interior and is available with a wide range of options.
Pros Borrows Styling Cues From Other Current Astons Can’t Miss That Big Rear Ducktail Coupe-Style Roof Looks Sporty Overall
Cons Doesn’t Have Plastic Body Cladding Big Front Grille Midsize Dimensions Big Exhaust Pipes
The DBX is totally new for 2020 and is Aston's first SUV. Look for it to go on sale in May 2020.The DBX marks the legendary British sports-car maker's first foray into SUV territory—and its simultaneous entrance into high-end family transportation. The company best known for supplying James Bond with his wheels now aims to capitalize on the hugely popular crossover market that has already seduced iconic rivals such as Lamborghini with its wild Urus SUV. Aston Martin says the DBX will perform with the same liveliness and grace as its range of revered performance cars as well as demonstrate the impressive off-road and towing capabilities that are expected of ultra-expensive luxury crossovers.
There’s a key difference between this and the Lamborghini Urus: the latter wants to show you it can do anything a supercar can. The DBX makes its own rules. I really liked how it mixed dynamic fluency with precision and feel.
Pros Engaging, tactile handling makes for more driver appeal than most fast SUVs manage to create Soulful V8 soundtrack and usable, considered performance
Cons Design-led interior perhaps isn’t as roomy-feeling as it could be Infotainment system desperately needs upgrading
