Laura Bartlett gets behind the wheel and proves that this isn’t just any car, it’s an Aston Martin car…
Taking the wheel of the Aston Martin DBX707 wasn’t just a drive; it was a journey through cherished memories and a poignant reunion with a brand that has woven itself into the fabric of my family’s history. Having collaborated with Aston Martin in the past, the resonance of this experience goes beyond the purr of a powerful engine; it’s about the shared moments, the road trips, and the indelible connection we’ve formed.
My family outings in an Aston Martin were more than just rides; they were adventures that brought us together. The late evenings, winding roads, and the unmistakable hum of an Aston Martin became the soundtrack to countless cherished memories. My late dad, an ardent enthusiast, had an unwavering love for the brand, turning our family escapades into a celebration of craftsmanship and performance.
As fate would have it, when the DBX707 arrived from Aston Martin HQ, it bore the colour that held a special place in my dad’s heart – orange. It was more than a mere coincidence; it felt like a sign, a tangible connection to his spirit accompanying us on this cross-country road trip from Leeds to London. The DBX707, resplendent in orange, became a vessel of shared memories and a testament to the enduring bond we share with Aston Martin.
Embarking on the annual road trip to London with my mum and brother, the DBX707 effortlessly blended emotion with exceptional performance. The journey was more than just a drive; it was an exploration of the extraordinary capabilities of the DBX707, a supercar among SUVs. Uncompromising in its pursuit of excellence, the DBX707 allowed us to unleash the power and style synonymous with Aston Martin, all while navigating the cross-country route with the precision of a true sports car.
Crafted from an extruded and cast aluminium, continuous hot-bonded monocoque body shell, the DBX707’s design is a symphony of engineering precision. The “Swan Wing” infinite stop frameless doors, akin to the graceful wings of a swan, add a touch of elegance and drama as they unfold, revealing the sporty and aerodynamic silhouette of the vehicle.
The bi-LED AHB headlamps, with their auto high beam assist, aren’t just lights; they’re the eyes guiding the DBX707 through the night. The “Clamshell” bonnet isn’t merely a cover; it’s a statement of Aston Martin’s commitment to timeless aesthetics. And what’s a drive without a panoramic glass sunroof? It’s not just a view; it’s a connection to the open sky, transforming every journey into a celestial experience.
Inside the cabin, the craftsmanship continues to impress. The sport seats, 16-way adjustable, aren’t just for comfort; they’re an embrace, ensuring that every passenger feels the thrill of the road. The leather and Alcantara upholstery, with micro-perforation seat detailing, isn’t just material; it’s a tactile experience, a reminder of the luxury synonymous with Aston Martin.
But the DBX707 doesn’t just captivate with its exterior and interior; it also boasts an arsenal of standard features that elevate the driving experience. The Aston Martin Premium Audio System, with 800 watts and 14 speakers, isn’t just sound; it’s a concert on wheels. The 22″ Sport wheels, gloss black and diamond-turned, aren’t just rims; they’re the finishing touch, adding a dash of sophistication to the DBX707’s stance.
Arriving at the London Grosvenor Hotel, with the DBX707 parked outside, felt like a homecoming. The perfect base for our London adventures, the hotel mirrored the elegance and sophistication embodied by the Aston Martin brand. The car, now more than a mode of transportation, became a symbol of shared love, passion, and the continuation of a legacy.
In every rev of the engine and every twist of the road, the DBX707 echoed the sentiment – Aston Martin is not just a brand; it’s a conduit to treasured moments and an ode to the ones we hold dear. The supercar of SUVs, it masterfully blends emotion with exceptional performance, embodying the spirit of adventure that defines the Aston Martin experience.
As I navigate the open road, the DBX707 isn’t just a car; it’s a partner in a thrilling chapter of performance, style, and unbridled excitement. With every turn of the wheel, it transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, making every drive a celebration of the artistry and engineering prowess that make Aston Martin a true icon on the road.
