The Aston Martin is designed as a fast and elegant GT car, meaning it’s surprising practical for a model with supercar-slaying performance.

Aston’s new scalable aluminium architecture has actually allowed the brand’s designers to create more interior space within an external footprint that isn’t much larger than the old DB9’s. Like its predecessor, it features a 2+2 seating layout, plus a boot that’s big enough to deal with a lengthy trip away.

Access to the cabin is fairly straightforward thanks to long doors that open wide, while the driver and passenger get lots of head- and legroom. There’s also a wider range of seat adjustment than ever before, meaning it’s easier for taller drivers to get comfortable. The electrically adjusted seats also provide plenty of support, both when cornering hard and when travelling long distances.

However, the individual rear seats are really only suitable for small children, as there’s very little headroom and virtually no space for legs.

Opening the boot reveals a well-shaped, large luggage area, which offers 270 litres' worth of space. It’s more than capable of accommodating larger suitcases, meaning the DB11 is well up to the task of taking its well-heeled occupants and their luggage on cross-continental dashes to their holiday hones by the Med. Note the convertible Volante can only store 224 litres in its boot - though Aston says it'll swallow two sets of golf clubs.
