Aston Martin DBX S launched with engine upgrades and new features. Check details
Aston Martin has refreshed its DBX range yet again for both performance and refinement. Following the discontinuation of the standard DBX trim last year owing to poor demand, the more powerful DBX707 remained as the only option. The carmaker has now launched the DBX S, a new trim that further develops the 707's base with minor mechanical adjustments, new design cues, and more emphasis on light-weighting.
Aston Martin DBX S: Design
The Aston Martin DBX S gets a brash and athletic face. The refreshed front fascia is characteristised by a more aggressive splitter and a less pronounced rear wing diffuser. But it was truly the reimagined exhaust system, stacked vertical dual tips at each corner, that were a bold departure from convention.

Furthermore, Aston Martin's weight saving measures are also equally impressive; the optional 23-inch magnesium wheels save 18.5 kg, and the carbon roof — the largest single carbon piece ever applied to an Aston Martin — provides additional weight savings. Even the grille is new, as it takes inspiration from the DBS 770 Ultimate and removes weight at the nose to improve weight distribution. The caveat is that everything mentioned is optional and not included on the standard model. Aston Martin DBX S: Features
The Aston Martin DBX S gets an improved in-house infotainment system with seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and increased connected services. A 14-speaker Aston Martin Premium Audio system is standard, with an optional 23-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround system, specifically tuned for the DBX S cabin.

Powering the DBX S is a recalibrated version of Aston Martin's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. Borrowing turbo tech from the Valhalla supercar, output climbs to 717 bhp. While the 0–100 kmph sprint remains at a blistering 3.1 seconds, the DBX S shaves valuable tenths off its 0–200 kmph time. The company further claims a top speed of 307 kmph.
Interestingly, the DBX S is not just about straight-line speed. Aston Martin retuned the SUV's nine-speed transmission for faster, crisper shifts in Sport and Sport+ modes. Steering responsiveness has also been tightened, making the DBX S feel more connected and agile.
Braking is handled by massive carbon-ceramic discs — 16.5 inches up front and 15.3 inches at the rear — ensuring that the SUV's immense power is matched by equally capable stopping performance.

India-UK FTA opens fast lane for British-made luxury cars in India
The recently signed India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), concluded during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official visit to the United Kingdom, is set to make high-end cars more accessible to Indians. Under the agreement, officially known as Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) mechanism has been introduced under which there is progressive customs duty reductions on a quota-based system over a span of 15 years. The move can give a shot in the arm to imports of high-end British-made luxury cars such as Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and McLaren. Agreeing with the possibility, Saket Mehra, Partner at Grant Thornton Bharat, said the phased reduction of import duties on UK-built passenger vehicles—from over 100 per cent to 10 per cent under a quota system—will make British luxury cars more accessible in India. 'In FY24, India imported passenger vehicles worth approximately $78.3 million from the UK, a figure expected to rise significantly under the new tariff regime,' he noted. The agreement also includes a dedicated quota for electric and hybrid vehicles, reflecting the shift in UK manufacturing. On the components side, India exported auto parts worth $191.6 million to the UK and imported around $138.6 million in FY24. Tariff reductions are expected to enhance these trade flows. UK exports of auto parts and engines to India are projected to increase by about £190 million ($240 million), indicating a reciprocal benefit. However, Mehra cautioned that the treatment of the UK's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) would be critical. 'If Indian exports continue to face CBAM levies while UK goods enter India duty-free, it could impact the benefits India expects to reap from the FTA,' he added. Fillip to CBUs According to reports, about 40 per cent of cars that Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) sells in India are imported as completely built units (CBU) either from the UK or its other production units in Europe. The import of these CMB units can significantly benefit from the FTA. In the last financial year (FY25), JL) sold 6,183 units in India, achieving a record-breaking 40 per cent year-on-year growth. On the other hand, Aston Martin, with a starting range of ₹3.29 crore in India, reportedly sold around 22 units in 2024, while Rolls Royce sold 60 cars in 2023. Meanwhile, Tata-owned JLR is also planning to increase localisation of its vehicle manufacturing in India, with the production from its Tamil Nadu plant expected to start from early 2026. With significant volumes sold in India, JLR is expected to be the biggest beneficiary of the trade agreement in the automotive category. Shailesh Chandra, President, SIAM and Managing Director of Tata Passenger Vehicles Ltd & Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., said the FTA marks a significant step forward in strengthening India's economic engagement with developed economies. 'The commitments made by the Government of India on automobile sector tariffs strike a thoughtful balance—addressing consumer interests while supporting the broader goals of Indian industry,' he said. While the blueprint of the deal is still being decoded, it remains to be seen how the demand for luxury cars from the UK pans out.

India-UK FTA: Aston Martin, Mini Cooper could get cheaper by up to 40% in India
British-made luxury cars from the stables of Aston Martin and Mini could get cheaper for Indians roughly between 25 per cent and 40 per cent after the new tariff structure of the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is implemented. Under the agreement, tariffs on imports of internal combustion engine (ICE) cars will be slashed to 30-50 per cent in the first year of implementation, with the benefit limited to a quota of 20,000 cars. The tariffs will be reduced gradually, and after 15 years, they will become 10 per cent, with the quota set at 15,000 units. For out-of-quota imports of ICE cars, the duties are reduced to 60-95 per cent in the first year, and further to 45-50 per cent from the tenth year onwards. In 2016, the rough CIF (cost, insurance and freight) value of the Mini Cooper S, the standard version of the popular hatchback, was $17,682 when it was imported into India in October that year, according to data from a trade intelligence platform. In 2016, the car retailed for around $23,000 in the USA, suggesting a markup over its rough CIF of a little over $5,000. In 2025, the car retails for around $30,000 (Rs 26 lakh in 2025) there. In India, the base version of the car starts from around Rs 45 lakh currently, since it currently incurs a duty of about 70 per cent, which amounts to Rs 13.5 lakh. Based on these figures, the rough CIF of the Mini Cooper that's imported into India from the UK currently could be around Rs 21 lakh ($24,000). So, when the new tariff rates, facilitated by the CETA kick in, the duty on the Mini Cooper could go down from the current 70 per cent to between 30-50 per cent. At 30 per cent, the car could cost Rs 27.3 lakh, down from the current Rs 45 lakh, a saving of nearly 40 per cent. At 50 per cent, the car could cost Rs 31.5 lakh, which would still be a saving of 30 per cent. These are the initial rates, and prices could fall in subsequent years when the duty reduces further. Similarly, in 2016, an Aston Martin Vanquish was imported in India at a CIF value of $214,607, as per data available with the trade platform, and in that year, the car retailed for around $290,000. Adjusting for currency changes and some inflation, the car's current CIF value could be around $320,000 (Rs 2.8 crore). Currently, the car retails in India for Rs 8.85 crore, and it is understood to attract at least 100 per cent in customs duty, amounting to around Rs 4.5 crore. When this duty is reduced to 50 per cent, that could lower the sticker price of the car to Rs 6.7 crore, which would be cheaper by around 24 per cent. It needs to be noted that these rough calculations do not account for fluctuations in demand or production costs, company markup, currency differentials and inflation. Aston Martin and BMW (the parent company of Mini) did not respond to an immediate request for comment. Currently, India's import tariffs on passenger vehicles range from 70-110 per cent while those on trucks stand at 40 per cent. Industry executives said that import quotas have been implemented to avoid sudden surges in imports and safeguard the Indian auto industry. The duty reduction, ranging from 16 per cent to 56 per cent over a period up to 5 years on ICE vehicles up to 2500 cc (diesel)/3000 cc (petrol) and 80 per cent to 100 per cent over a period of 5 years on ICE vehicles more than 2500 cc (diesel)/3000 cc (petrol), is expected to make high-end vehicles more accessible. For electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and hydrogen fuel-based cars, tariffs have been eliminated entirely for units priced under £40,000 CIF (cost, insurance and freight value). For zero-emission cars priced between £40,000 to £80,000, tariffs are reduced to 50 per cent and a quota of 400, which from the fifteenth year will become 10 per cent and 2,000 respectively.

Shield for mass market, drive-in for luxe cars
India will slash duties on high-end cars from the United Kingdom under the free trade deal signed on Thursday, while protecting the mass-market segment where Indian manufacturers are gaining global ground. "Vehicles priced below £40,000 (about ₹46 lakh including cost, insurance and freight), where Indian automakers are highly active, have been explicitly excluded from any duty concession," an explanatory note released by the commerce ministry said. "The concessions are targeted largely at large engine capacity ICE vehicles- above 3000 cc petrol or 2500 cc diesel and high-end EVs priced above £80,000 (CIF)...providing a protective shield to the mass-market EV segment," it said. The deal is likely to benefit luxury car brands such as Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Lotus, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and BMW Mini, which currently face steep import duties of about 110% in India. Under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), India will gradually reduce customs duties to 10% for a specific quota of high-end vehicles over five years. For out-of-quota imports, the duty cut will be limited to 50% over 10 years. Notably, no duty concessions will be extended to EVs, hybrids, or hydrogen-powered vehicles during the first five years of the agreement. From the sixth year, the number of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles permitted under the concessional regime will decrease in proportion to the number of EVs imported, with the total import quota capped at 37,000 vehicles over 15 years. JLR, the Tata Motors-owned British marque, welcomed the deal even though many of its products being sold in India will not benefit. "India is an important growth market for our British-built luxury products," said a JLR India spokesperson. Around 60% of the cars JLR sells in India, including popular models in the Range Rover portfolio - Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque - are already locally produced through the CKD route. "Only a limited number of high-value SV models are currently exported from the UK to India and therefore in scope of the FTA," said the spokesperson. Defender, which is manufactured in Slovakia, too, falls outside its scope. Benefit from the trade deal will depend on brand-wise allocation under the duty concession quota, a spokesperson at a European carmaker said. Clarity on pricing will only emerge once the final legal text is released and approved, the person added. On the components side, Shradha Suri Marwah, president of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA), said the FTA is expected to boost exports, streamline regulatory processes, and foster collaboration in electric mobility, precision engineering, lightweight materials, and R&D.
