V8 Vantage

2005-2017

4.3-litre V8 · 4.7-litre V8

The V8 Vantage is the compact Gaydon-era Aston that most cleanly blends theatre, usability, and attainable ownership. It works best as a fast road car with regular use and disciplined maintenance.

Ownership guide

28 models in this family

V12 Vantage

2009-2018

6.0-litre V12

The V12 Vantage is one of the most charismatic modern Astons and one of the hardest to replace. It rewards careful ownership but punishes neglect more quickly than the V8 car.

13 models in this family

DB9

2004-2016

6.0-litre V12

The DB9 remains the classic modern Aston GT: elegant, comfortable, and deeply appealing on long road journeys. It suits owners who want the full Aston experience more than outright track focus.

Ownership guide

22 models in this family

DB11

2016-2023

4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 · 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12

The DB11 is the more modern, more connected Aston GT, with a stronger daily-driver edge than earlier cars. It suits owners who want long-range comfort without losing the sense of occasion.

Ownership guide

9 models in this family

DBS

2007-2012

6.0-litre V12

The DBS takes the DB9 formula and turns the volume up. It is fast, imposing, and deeply charismatic, but consumables and deferred maintenance costs rise to match the performance.

DBS Superleggera

2018-2023

5.2-litre twin-turbo V12

The DBS Superleggera is the modern twin-turbo flagship GT with serious pace and real everyday road ability. It is less fragile than its image suggests, but it still depends on battery health, cooling discipline, and proper tyres.

Ownership guide

Vanquish

2012-2018

6.0-litre V12

The second-generation Vanquish sits between a GT and a halo car. It is a stronger all-rounder than many buyers expect, but it still needs close attention to battery state, suspension condition, and high-value cosmetic items.

Ownership guide

14 models in this family

DBX

2020-present

4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 · 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 707

The DBX is the most practical Aston Martin in daily use and the easiest modern Aston to integrate into real life. It still needs premium-car maintenance habits, especially around tyres, brakes, and electrical health.

Vantage V8

2018-2023

4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (AMG M177), 510 PS

The 2018-generation Vantage brought AMG's twin-turbo V8 and a ZF eight-speed automatic to a sharper, more focused sports car. It is the most driver-orientated modern Aston Martin, but it introduces AMG-sourced electronics and new battery sensitivity habits owners need to understand.

Ownership guide

8 models in this family

Vantage

2024-present

4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (AMG M177 reworked), 665 PS

The 2024-onward Vantage launched with a reworked AMG V8 producing 665 PS and a substantially updated chassis. Its reliability record is still developing, while the platform carries forward familiar habits around battery care and oil monitoring.

Ownership guide

DB12

2023-present

4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (AMG M177), 680 PS

The DB12 is Aston Martin's first self-described super tourer, with an AMG V8 and a comprehensively modernised cabin including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. As a very recent model it rewards close-to-dealer ownership while its reliability record develops.

Vanquish (2024–)

2024-present

5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, 835 PS and 1,000 Nm

The 2024-onward Vanquish combines a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The standard Coupé and Volante have a two-seat grand-touring layout. The 50-car Vanquish 25 anniversary edition was announced in 2026 with 2+0 or 2+2 seating. Certain 2025-model-year cars are covered by a brake-assist software recall.

The road-going Valkyrie pairs a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 with hybrid assistance and a carbon-fibre structure shaped around underbody aerodynamics. Customer-car production began in 2021.

Valour

2023 limited series

5.2-litre twin-turbo V12; manufacturer specification 715 PS and 753 Nm

Valour is Aston Martin’s 110-car anniversary special, introduced in 2023 with a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 and a six-speed manual transmission. Its carbon-fibre body, retro-inspired styling and carbon-ceramic brakes define a distinct model. Limited production does not establish either reliability or interchangeability with other V12 Astons.

Valiant

2024 limited series

5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, 745 PS and 753 Nm

Valiant is a 38-car Q by Aston Martin special announced in June 2024. Its 745 PS twin-turbo V12, six-speed manual transmission, Multimatic ASV dampers and substantial aerodynamic bodywork distinguish it from Valour. It is road legal, but its track focus calls for vehicle-specific inspection and service advice.

DBR22

2022 announced; deliveries reported in 2023

5.2-litre twin-turbo V12

DBR22 was unveiled as a design concept in 2022 and developed into a factory Q limited series. Aston Martin’s FY2022 results specify a sold-out 22-unit allocation, and its 2023 annual report confirms DBR22 deliveries that year. The open-cockpit carbon-fibre body and launch-specified 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 distinguish it from regular production convertibles.
