The definitive flagship SUV, the DBX S combines an elevated road perspective with the unstoppable momentum of a supercar. By merging class-leading luxury with advanced mechanical engineering, it delivers a deeply engaging and authoritative driving experience.
This is a machine that defies traditional athletic boundaries, translating a mighty 727 PS V8 engine into a channel of complete performance. It is undoubtedly a luxury SUV, yet engineered to foster absolute control, placing you at the heart of its dynamic envelope.
The 'S' in DBX S denotes the peak of physical and mechanical capability – resulting in a lighter, more powerful, and highly focused flagship. By uniting an upgraded V8 engine with a suite of lightweight carbon fibre and magnesium options, it strips away mass to deliver complete control, immediate response, and the definitive high-performance SUV driving experience.
Agility demands absolute authority over vertical and lateral mass. Recalibrated air springs and adaptive dampers grant the DBX S unshakeable high-speed stability, while an active roll control system restricts body roll to a mere 1.5 degrees through the hardest corners. By altering spring rates in real time, the system dynamically shifts the roll stiffness balance to optimise cornering traction and steering response.
The powertrain of the DBX S represents a monumental leap in high-performance utility engineering. A total system output of 727 PS is metered continuously by a modified 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ transmission, replacing the conventional torque converter to deliver extreme launch performance from standstill. This high-efficiency drivetrain is integrated seamlessly with an active all-wheel-drive system, distributing up to 100 per cent of its 900 Nm of torque to the rear wheels to deliver maximum traction and cornering rotation.
The design of the DBX S is a direct translation of its high-performance capability, ensuring its position as the most dynamically focused ultra-luxury SUV on the market is unmistakable. Every sculpted line and active surface is engineered to guide air volumes around the high-sided chassis, reducing aerodynamic drag while feeding the radiators, creating a powerful silhouette that commands attention at rest and at speed.
Inside, the DBX S is a study in tactile command, balancing state-of-the-art digital technology with the sensory warmth of lightweight Alcantara and hand-stitched leather. The cabin architecture is designed to wrap around you, creating a highly focused, elevated environment that isolates the occupants from the external environment whilst keeping the driver intimately connected to the road.
Technology in the DBX S serves as a real-time, telemetric extension of the mechanical components. Guided by our advanced next-generation infotainment system, it operates invisibly in the background, combining connected-car technology with physical, analogue controls.
