What can be said about the sheer brilliance of Aston Martin that hasn’t already been said? This premium, ultra-luxurious automobile manufacturer is based out of the UK and sell cars that possess some of the most advanced features on the planet. After making its way over to India in 2011, Aston Martin released a couple of cars that not only rocked the Indian market to its core but also gave the public a first-hand look at what “luxury” really meant. Now, the English company is ready to put out a few more cars in the coming months and we take a look at what they have to offer.

But before that, let’s take a look at the current Aston Martin cars in India.

Aston Martin DB11

Being made readily available from January, 2017, the Aston Martin DB11 instantly made an impact in the Indian sector. Starting at a price of 3.97 Crore, the DB11 wasn’t expected to become the hit it is today. The car is feature-rich and delivers on pretty much every level there is. The 5.2L twin-turbo V12 petrol engine produces an impressive 700Nm of torque which results in a top speed of 322 kmph. Going from 0-100 kmph in a matter of 3.9 seconds, the DB11 is sure to get your heart pumping and adrenaline racing. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that features 3 different driving modes including Sport mode, Sport Plus mode, and GT mode. Fitted with a 78 liter fuel tank, the Aston Martin DB11 offers a mileage of 6.0 kmpl according to ARAI testing. Some of the prominent features of the car include power steering, anti-lock braking, automatic climate control, and a multi-functional steering wheel.

Aston Martin Rapide

Making its debut on Indian soil in 2016, the Aston Martin Rapide is the second-gen model from the luxury English manufacturer and probably one of the most used cars from the company. Priced at around 3.29 Crore, the Rapide was one of the most anticipated cars to make its long journey over to India. The sports saloon comes with a 4-door design and is stacked with high-end features and equipment. Everything from the engine to the cabin has received a facelift from the older version and is definitely one of the top cars in the market today. The engine, chassis, and body has also been upgraded on the 2016 model which makes it better suited for Indian roads and weather conditions. Powering the new Rapide is a 6.0L V12 petrol engine that comes attached to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The engine has a top speed of 306 kmph and can go from 0-100 kmph in 4.6 seconds. One of the biggest advantages the Rapide holds is its 10.9 kmpl mileage which, when compared to other luxury sports cars, is quite impressive.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is an outstanding piece of machinery that was created to perform like no other car in the world. With a drop-top convertible design, this car goes from uber-chic to downright stunning with a flick of a switch. As is with all Aston Martin models, the DBS Superleggera has a sleek, stylish, and elegant body that is both lightweight and extremely sturdy. Under the exteriors, the Superleggera houses some of the most powerful and advanced mechanics including the 5.2L twin-turbo V12 petrol engine that pushes out up to 900Nm of torque. The car is a 5204cc beast and the automatic transmission takes the car from 0-100 kmph in just 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 340kmph. Just like most supercars, the DBS Superleggera has a low mileage of 7.1 kmpl, but with power like this under you, it is totally worth it.

Aston Martin DBX

We normally associate Aston Martin with top-tier sedans and sports cars, but they have finally entered the SUV segment with the Aston Martin DBX. It was initially announced back in November, 2018 and is set to be launched in India in 2020. The SUV will directly compete with the likes of the Lamborghini Urus outside the country and will be priced at about 3.50 Crore. The DBX will be imported from the new and only factory specifically designed for the SUV in Wales. Belonging to the lineup of the ‘Second Century Plan’ of Aston Martin’s subsidiary brand Legondo, the DBX should come with a plethora of new features and electronics from Mercedes. Under the hood, the DBX will most probably house the AMG 4.0L twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, also from Mercedes-Benz with the current 5.2L twin-turbo V12 engine likely to feature on later models. There are some rumours about a third engine variant that could see the DBX running on a hybrid motor in the future.

There you have it, the latest and greatest Aston Martin cars that have called India their “home away from home” for the past 8 years. While any Aston Martin car could easily burn a hole in your pocket, there are ways to get good deals on them such as a used car evaluation tool and even RC transfers. So, do these above mentioned cars offer enough to warrant a purchase or are their erratic price tags too heavy to consider?
