The Vantage is, probably, the first car you would associate with when somebody mentions the British carmaker - Aston Martin. Carrying the baton ahead, behold the all-new 2025 Aston Martin Vantage. It gets a massive 30% bump in power and 15% more torque over the last Vantage and adds active aero with adaptive dampers for better track stability. The prices begin at 3.99 crore (ex-showroom).

The interior of the new Vantage has also been completely revamped with modern infotainment and driver display. You also get an all-new optional 1170W Bowers & Wilkins 15-speaker audio system as the icing on the cake. On the safety front, along with a 29% stiffer chassis in the rear, it also gets ADAS features for the added layer of safety.

Aston Martin Vantage Engine and Gearbox

The “Vantage” badge has always been associated with a front-engined RWD car with impeccable weight distribution. Building on the same, the new Aston Martin Vantage gets a new 4.0L, Twin Turbocharged, V8 engine that makes 655 HP and an impressive 800 Nm of torque. To put it into perspective, that’s 153 HP and 115 Nm more than the last Vantage. Credit goes to new cam profiles, optimised compression ratios, and larger turbochargers.

Transmission duties are carried out by the proven 8-Speed ZF Torque converter automatic gearbox that drives the rear wheels. There is an extra oil cooler added to improve the efficiency of the radiator by up to 50%, Aston claims. This helps the engine to stay within the optimum temperature range for a longer duration of time. Which means, more stamina for your dedicated pedal-to-the-metal sessions.

Aston Martin Vantage 0-100 kmph and Top Speed

Aston claims that the new 2025 Vantage can achieve the 0-100 Kmph feat in 3.4 seconds. Couple this acceleration with the final drive ratio of 3.083:1, the new Vantage is prepared to reach a top speed of 325 km/h.

Aston Martin Vantage Performance and Handling

In terms of handling, the new Aston Martin Vantage has benefitted with re-engineered steering feedback by stiffening the front suspension mounts. The front cross member has been moved rearwards to encourage further stiffness on the steering wheel. Add that to a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, and you have a proper luxury track weapon at your disposal.

Suspension duties are carried out with Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers with varying presets depending on the selected drive mode. For braking, the new Vantage gets 400 mm and 360 mm drilled rotors in the front and back respectively. There’s also a e-Diff in the rear axle that can completely open from a 100% closed position in under 135 milliseconds. All in all, the new Vantage is fully equipped to attack the steepest of curves.

Aston Martin Vantage Exterior Features

Aston has incorporated a lot of quintessential features on the exterior front that improve the stability of the car. The new Vantage is now 30mm wider than its predecessor, which makes space for a wider grill. As a result, there is 29% more room for the 4.0L V8 to breathe from. Surrounding the grill are the two Matrix LED headlights with integrated DRLs. Aston says these lights will mark the beginning of a new signature for the brand.

Buyers can choose any one out of 21 colour options along with a “pinstripe” option which will be charged separately. Furthermore, 21-inch alloy wheels will be offered as standard with the new Vantage. The doors are, ofcourse, frameless, and now also feature the pop out door handles. At the rear, the new Vantage gets bigger rear bumpers further accentuated by bigger quad pipes.

Aston Martin Vantage Interior And Infotainment Features

A race car wrapped in luxury is what Astons are most popular for. The new Vantage is no less. It features bespoke quality leather for the seats, the steering wheel and the dashboard. Modern touches include 10.25-inch infotainment straight out of the DB12 that also features gesture inputs. There’s another 10.25 inch drivers display to feature 3D maps, track details, and your music controls apart from the basic driver information.

Some switches, finished in brushed aluminium, are still retained in the new Vantage to preserve the retro feel. The good part is, that most of these switches are also an override mechanism for drive modes, chassis settings, ESP, and exhaust system, lending a better sense of control for the car. On the entertainment front, the infotainment also gets wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay and has a tactile response to all your touch inputs. 

Aston Martin Vantage Price

The new Aston Martin Vantage is priced at 3.99 crore (Ex-showroom) for a base-spec model. Deliveries have already begun in India. That said, for this price, no car offers you the kind of balance between opulence and performance that the 2025 Vantage does.
