No Aston Martin DBX crashworthiness review has been conducted by the NHTSA or IIHS. It's unlikely we'll ever get a safety rating since both institutions tend not to smash $200,000 worth of luxury SUV into a concrete block. In our opinion, the DBX should be a safe car. It comes with a lot of active and passive safety features.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
The DBX is equipped with driver and passenger, side curtain, and side thorax airbags. Aston also adds seatbelt pre-tensioners, a 360-degree camera, ABS, traction and stability control, hill start assist, and hill descent control. The advanced driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, a speed limiter, forward collision warning with auto emergency braking, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane change warning, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, and door exit warning.

Since the DBX went on sale in the US, Aston's sales increased 224%. Aston will lose a chunk of those sales if the DBX is not bolted together correctly, so it's nice to see only one recall lodged against the 2021 model. A total of 151 units were shipped with missing headliner foam blocks, and that's it. A new model is usually recalled several times during its first year on sale, making this quite an achievement for such a small manufacturer. No recalls have affected the 2022 or 2023 DBX.
Every DBX is sold with a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty. The same goes for the powertrain, but complimentary scheduled maintenance isn't included.
