First Glance: Sculpted Presence

The DB12 arrives with a familiar Aston Martin silhouette sharpened into a more muscular, modern sculpture that reads equally well at a country house or a racetrack gate. Proportions of 4,725 mm length and 1,980 mm width give it a planted stance, while the low roofline at 1,295 mm promises drama rather than headroom. Both Coupé and Volante forms are available, each powered by a potent V8 and tuned for the same character — the current lineup includes versions with 680 hp and a quoted combined consumption of about 12.2 L/100 km. The styling manages the rare feat of being showy without shouting, which suits buyers who want presence with restraint.

Inside the Cockpit: Luxury That Works

Cabin materials are unmistakably premium with plentiful leather, neat stitching and metal details that lift the tactile experience above mainstream rivals. The driver-focused layout places important controls within easy reach and the instrument presentation balances analogue charm with modern digital clarity. Seating is plush and supportive, designed for long-distance comfort, and the DB12 keeps the ambience calm with effective noise insulation despite its sporting intentions. Four seats are fitted, but the rear pair favour short hops or children rather than full-time adult travel.

Practicalities That Matter

As a grand tourer the DB12 accepts the usual trade-offs: luggage space is workable but not generous, with the Coupé offering around 262 litres and the Volante closer to 206 litres, enough for weekend bags but not a move across town. A 78‑litre fuel tank extends touring range, and ingress and egress are tidy thanks to well-positioned sills despite the low roofline. Curb weights range from about 1,788 to 1,898 kg, which is felt in the solidity of the ride and the planted feel at speed. Everyday usability is strong for an exotic: comfortable for driver and passenger, convenient for short trips, and capable of longer journeys when luggage needs are modest.

On the Road: Composure Meets Muscle

Under the bonnet sits a 3,982 cc twin‑turbo V8 producing 680 hp and a hefty 800 Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox for a classic, driver-friendly layout. Acceleration is brisk with 0–100 km/h dispatched in about 3.6–3.7 seconds and a top speed near 325 km/h, which translates to effortless overtakes and motorway flexibility rather than corner-carving excess. The chassis balances comfort and precision: compliant enough for long trips yet communicative when pushing on backroads, with steering that is quick and weighty in equal measure. The result is a GT that feels at home both on a winding B-road and during sustained high-speed runs.

Thirst and Reach: Consumption and Range

Official combined consumption sits around 12.2 L/100 km, which in real-world mixed driving typically means high single-figure to low double-figure litres per 100 km depending on pace and conditions. With a 78‑litre tank the theoretical WLTP-style range is roughly 640 km, but everyday driving and spirited use will reduce that figure, so plan for more frequent stops during enthusiastic runs. CO2 emissions are in the mid-to-high hundreds of g/km, placing the DB12 firmly in the performance category rather than the efficiency league. For buyers prioritizing driving feel and effortless speed, the consumption is an accepted trade-off rather than a surprise.

Tech That Keeps the Focus

Infotainment and driver aids have been modernised to match the car's contemporary character, offering a clear display, smartphone connectivity and premium audio to make long journeys more pleasant. Safety and convenience features include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping support and parking sensors with cameras that make daily operation easier without diluting the driving experience. Controls aim to remain tactile and intuitive so technology supports rather than distracts the driver. The balance is aimed at those who want modern convenience without surrendering the analogue joys of a fine GT.

Who Is It For?

The DB12 suits buyers seeking a high‑performing grand tourer with undeniable style and enough practicality for regular use, especially those who value driving involvement paired with luxury. It fits well for owners who will cover long distances in comfort, enjoy occasional high-speed runs and appreciate a cabin that feels special every time the doors close. Rear seats and modest boot space limit family utility, so this car appeals more to couples or solo owners who want four-seater flexibility rather than full family transport. In short, the DB12 is for drivers who want an artisan-crafted GT that can also surprise on a twisty road.
