Aston Martin DBX DBX707 2022

The DBX707 is assembled at St Athan in Wales, a facility that became closely associated with Aston Martin’s SUV production. When manufacturing began, Aston Martin described the DBX as the first Welsh-built production car in almost fifty years. The company also identified the DBX707 as the first model delivered through the product-development cycle led by executive chairman Lawrence Stroll, giving the SUV a symbolic role in Aston Martin’s early-2020s transformation.

DBX707 production was prepared at St Athan during the first quarter of 2022, and the first customer car was completed there on May 9, 2022. Aston Martin scheduled initial deliveries for the second quarter. The Welsh facility recruited more than 100 additional technicians to support the production ramp-up. No specific total production figure for the 2022 DBX707 is disclosed in the sources used here. Aston Martin did report that the DBX707 accounted for more than half of overall DBX volumes during 2022, underlining the model’s importance to the company’s SUV strategy and commercial performance.

Early road tests generally praised the engine’s force, the speed of the wet-clutch gearbox, and the sharper handling compared with the regular DBX. Autocar awarded the DBX707 an 8/10 rating, highlighting its combination of comfort, luxury, and driver involvement while criticizing aging cabin technology and some unpredictability near the limit of grip. MotorTrend likewise emphasized the SUV’s agility and the chassis’s ability to remain entertaining despite its size and elevated body. The overall reception was positive, but reviewers did not treat the DBX707 as flawless; the interior interface and ultimate track-focused consistency remained recurring reservations.
