Overview

2024 Aston Martin DBX

The 2024 Aston Martin DBX offers a blend of luxury SUV practicality and Aston Martin's signature performance. For the used car shopper, it represents a significant investment with potential ownership challenges. While generally rated as 'Good' for reliability, a history of critical recalls, particularly those involving engine oil loss due to potential oil cooler hose failure and electrical system integrity issues in the battery fuse box, demands thorough pre-purchase scrutiny. A lone complaint regarding a torn underbody panel also highlights potential vulnerabilities in its construction. High fuel costs are also a consideration given its 16 MPG combined rating.

Critical Failure Risk
