Subtle styling changes freshen the Aston Martin DB9's appearance with a new front bumper, bright finish radiator grille and a reshaped lower intake featuring hexagonal mesh.

The ADS system is offered as standard equipment across the Aston Martin DB9 range, encompassing both Coupe and Volante (convertible). A new tyre pressure monitoring system, a revised Bluetooth microphone system and the addition of a new Double Apex alloy finish trim and Bang & Olufsen hi-fi options expand the Aston Martin DB9&rsquo

The Aston Martin DB9 is available as either Coupe or Volante (convertible) with rear mid-mounted six-speed manual gearbox as standard or optional &lsquo Touchtronic 2&rsquo six-speed automatic transmission. Production of the revised Aston Martin DB9 is already underway, with deliveries commencing in July. Prices start from £ 122,445 for the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe and £ 131,445 for the Aston Martin DB9 Volante.
