Compare the2025 Aston Martin DBXVS 2025 Lamborghini Urus

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 Urus doesn’t offer knee airbags.

Both the DBX and the Urus have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, 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 4.0 turbo V8 produces 40 more horsepower (697 vs. 657) and 37 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 627) than the Urus’ standard 4.0 turbo V8. The DBX’s 4.0 turbo V8 produces 74 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 590) than the Urus SE’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid.

As tested in Car and Driver the Aston Martin DBX is faster than the Lamborghini Urus turbo V8:

On the EPA test cycle the DBX gets better mileage than the Urus running its gasoline engine:

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the DBX’s fuel efficiency. The Urus 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 Urus 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 Urus.

For better traction and acceleration, the DBX has larger rear tires than the Urus (325/35R22 vs. 315/40R21).

The DBX’s standard 285/40R22 front and 325/35R22 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series front and 35 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Urus’ standard 45 series front and 40 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the DBX has standard 22-inch wheels. Smaller 21-inch wheels are standard on the Urus.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the DBX’s wheelbase is 2.3 inches longer than on the Urus S (120.5 inches vs. 118.2 inches).

The DBX’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (52.7% to 47.3%) than the Urus’ (54% to 46%). This gives the DBX more stable handling and braking.

For greater off-road capability the DBX has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Urus (9.3 vs. 8.4 inches), allowing the DBX to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

The DBX has 4 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Urus (109 vs. 105).

The DBX has .1 inches more front legroom, 2 inches more rear headroom and .9 inches more rear legroom than the Urus.

The DBX has a larger cargo volume than the Urus with its rear seat up (22.5 vs. 21.8 cubic feet).

Pressing a button automatically lowers the DBX’s rear seats, to make changing between passengers and cargo easier. The Urus doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

The DBX’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Urus’ cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

To better shield the driver and front passenger’s vision, the DBX has standard dual-element sun visors that can block glare from two directions simultaneously. The Urus doesn’t offer secondary sun visors.

Optional air conditioned front and rear seats keep the DBX’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The Urus doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Aston Martin DBX has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the front center console. The Urus doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.
