Why The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage Is For The Drivers
Although not technically all-new, the latest Vantage makes a significant quality leap, with a renewed focus on the driving experience.
Our First Drive Review: The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage
- "A glance at the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage reveals the chosen path. Like the DB12, it carries over the basic structure underpinning its predecessor.

Its interior leaps forward in quality, design, and usability, while power from its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 swells to 656 hp"

- "Like its performance, the Aston Martin Vantage finally gets the good looks it always deserved. Telling you it’s a stunning thing is practically superfluous.

However, before Aston Martin ever reaches its goal of becoming a British Ferrari, it needs a strong product line. And as the Vantage proves, it’s off to a strong start."
