A used 2021 Aston Martin DBX and a 2023 BMW XM, each shown at about $74,000, underscore a performance and efficiency gap as the BMW XM outpaces the Aston Martin DBX.
The Aston Martin DBX uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 542 horsepower and 516 lb-ft, with EPA ratings of 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. MotorTrend tested a DBX at 0–60 mph in 4.0 seconds, quarter-mile in 12.5 seconds, braking in 106 feet, and 0.95 g on the skidpad.
The BMW XM is a plug-in hybrid with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 and electric motor combining for 644 horsepower and 590 lb-ft; it hits 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds and the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds. The BMW XM provides 31 miles of electric range and an EPA figure of 46 MPGe, making the XM cheaper to run if kept charged.
The Aston Martin DBX originally started around $180,000 while the 2023 BMW XM base began near $160,000, and both brands now have used examples at roughly $74,000. Buyers choosing between the BMW XM and Aston Martin DBX will weigh the XM’s superior performance and efficiency against the DBX’s traditional Aston Martin styling.
