When it comes to grand tourers, boot space is not usually the top priority; yet, it is an important aspect to consider for those who prefer practicality on their long drives. The current Aston Martin DB11 is not short on style and power, but how does it fare in the boot department? Let's delve into the numbers and see how it compares to others in its class.
The DB11's first and only generation (2016-present) offers a decent boot size of 280 liters. While this may not be as capacious as some of its competitors, keep in mind that it is a fairly recent model, and there haven't been any significant changes over the years in terms of boot capacity. Moreover, the Aston Martin DB11 lineup includes both Coupé and Volante versions, but the trunk size remains the same for both.
If we compare the DB11 to other Aston Martin models, it still holds up fairly well. It has a bigger boot than the Vantage Roadster (200 l), Vantage Coupé (235 l), DBS Superleggera Volante (260 l), and DBS Superleggera Coupé (270 l). However, when up against the Aston Martin DBX and DBX707, the spacious SUVs show their practicality and offer an impressive 490 liters of boot space, leaving DB11 in the dust.
How does Aston Martin DB11 stand against its nearest competitors? Well, it lags behind the likes of Mercedes-Benz CLS (520 l), Mercedes-Benz CLA (460 l), BMW 6er-Reihe (460 l), but outshines the Bentley Continental (358 l), Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse (355 l) and certainly leaves the Aston Martin Vanquish (187 l) in the shadows. So, while the Aston Martin DB11's boot space might not be the roomiest, it still holds up well against its rivals, making it an enticing option for those who seek a blend of luxury, performance, and practicality.
