What does nearly 700 horsepower in a large SUV feel like in Singapore? Aston Martin helps us find out with the DBX707.Five door performance SUV, five seatsBragging rights as the most powerful SUV in the worldIf you want to go supercar-fast in an SUV , there are no shortage of choices out there for you to pick your weapon.
The name reflects that status, with "707" indicating the car's power output in PS . In regular horsepower, that works out to 697hp, but it obviously doesn't sound quite as catchy as "707". All we can say is, if you want to explore the DBX707's full performance potential, Singapore is really not the right place to do so.
But there's more to it than that too. It still wears the Aston Martin face and badge after all, so it does have some reputation to live up to. The car is subtly differentiated from the regular DBX via its larger grille and air intakes up front, and massive 23-inch wheels that hide the car's carbon ceramic brakes, which are exclusive to the 707 apparently.
Put it into Sport+ mode though, and the 707 starts to come alive. The exhaust burbles up, and the instruments go red, signalling that it's ready to rumble. The steering is sharp and precise, but ultimately this is still a massive 2.2 tonne machine, so you do need to be wary about grip levels at speed, especially in slightly damp or wet road conditions. Hold some restraint though, and the 707 does offer up a pretty enjoyable drive, if maybe not quite as engaging as, say, a Porsche Cayenne or Lamborghini Urus.
