Vehicle model
Aston Martin DBX
The DBX is the first SUV in Aston Martin's history, unveiled in 2019 and produced at the St Athan plant in Wales. A strategic and financially vital model, it targets an affluent clientele seeking a grand-luxury family vehicle that combines prestige, performance and versatile daily use. It comes in a standard version and a higher-performance DBX707 variant. With its all-wheel drive and raised ground clearance, the DBX is, among the range, the model best suited to winter use in Quebec. It wears large wheels and wide low-profile tires; it is strongly recommended, and legally required, to equip it with dedicated winter tires in suitable dimensions to preserve grip on snow and ice.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Aston Martin (DB11, Vantage, DBX) montent des pneus de performance taille basse sur de grandes jantes, généralement de gros diamètres, souvent en montes différenciées avant/arrière. Ces dimensions sont typiquement spécifiques et exclusives à la marque, ce qui rend les équivalences plus limitées qu'un véhicule grand public. Au Québec, l'achat de pneus d'hiver dédiés est essentiel et légalement requis sur ces véhicules sportifs et SUV, idéalement sur un second train de jantes adapté à l'entraxe d'origine. Mieux vaut confirmer la dimension exacte, l'indice de charge et de vitesse sur le flanc d'origine avant toute commande.
