Overview

2025 Aston Martin Vantage

The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage offers a potent blend of British luxury and performance. Powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it delivers robust acceleration with rear-wheel drive. While its EPA combined fuel economy is 18 MPG, expect higher consumption in spirited driving. This model has four recalls, primarily concerning the engine oil cooler hose and a rearview camera software defect. Owner complaints are notably absent in NHTSA data, but the recall history warrants careful consideration for used car shoppers.

Critical Failure Risk

Critical engine oil cooler hoses can fail, leading to oil loss and a significant drop in oil pressure. This can result in severe engine damage if not addressed promptly. Two recalls address this issue.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$3,000 repair.
