2020 Aston Martin DB11 Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　The 2020 Aston Martin DB11 comes pretty close to being a textbook example of an exotic grand-touring car. Available as a coupe or convertible, the DB11 is stylish, comfortable, and fitted with one of two available engines that are well suited to the car's character. If you're looking for a high-class way to devour highway miles, the DB11 is an excellent tool for the job.

　　It's also decently practical by the standards of the class. There's a two-person back seat — albeit one that's really only suitable for small children — and a trunk that's larger than what you'll get in a Lamborghini Huracan or a McLaren GT. And while it's not as razor-sharp around turns as those cars, the DB11 is exceedingly enjoyable to drive quickly around corners. If we were tasked with taking a cross-country trip in any car, no matter the price, the DB11 would be pretty high on that list. 

　　

Which DB11 does zzdcar recommend?

Some buyers may opt for the twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 (and we wouldn't blame them), but we recommend going with the standard DB11 coupe with the V8. With 503 horsepower, the V8 is certainly robust. Plus, it'll make the DB11 a bit more fun and nimble in the corners. On top of the standard equipment, we'd opt for some of the optional tech and comfort features such as the heated and ventilated front seats, the Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, and blind-spot monitoring.
