Compare the2025 Aston Martin DBXVS 2025 Ferrari Purosangue

The Aston Martin DBX has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Purosangue doesn’t offer knee airbags.

Both the DBX and Purosangue have rear cross-traffic warning, but the DBX has Rear Cross Traffic Warning (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Purosangue’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the DBX and the Purosangue have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras and rear cross-path warning.

The DBX’s corrosion warranty is 7 years longer than the Purosangue’s (10 vs. 3 years).

The Purosangue’s redline is at 8250 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The DBX has a 7000 RPM redline.

The DBX’s 4.0 turbo V8 produces 136 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 528) than the Purosangue’s 6.5 DOHC V12.

On the EPA test cycle the DBX707 gets better fuel mileage than the Purosangue (15 city/20 hwy vs. 11 city/15 hwy).

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the DBX’s fuel efficiency. The Purosangue doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

The DBX has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Purosangue doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

A nine-speed automatic is standard on the Aston Martin DBX, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the Purosangue.

For better stopping power the DBX’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Purosangue:

For better traction, the DBX has larger tires than the Purosangue (F:285/40R22 & R:325/35R22 vs. F:255/35R22 & R:315/30R23).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the DBX offers optional 23-inch wheels. The Purosangue’s largest wheels are only 22-inches in the front and 23-inches in the rear.

The front and rear suspension of the DBX uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Purosangue, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the DBX’s wheelbase is 1.7 inches longer than on the Purosangue (120.5 inches vs. 118.8 inches).

The DBX has standard seating for 5 passengers; the Purosangue can only carry 4.

The DBX has 12 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Purosangue (109 vs. 97).

The DBX has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the Purosangue (22.5 vs. 16.7 cubic feet).

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the Purosangue, the DBX has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The DBX’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Purosangue’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.

The DBX’s Auto Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The Purosangue doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

The Aston Martin DBX outsold the Ferrari Purosangue by 66% during 2024.
