When you think of Aston Martin, you likely think of James Bond, British elegance, and roaring engines. For a long time, the Aston Martin Vantage was known as the "hunter" of the lineup—a car focused purely on driving thrill. However, in the past, critics often said the interior didn't match the heavy price tag.

With the latest generation (the 2025 facelift model recently introduced), Aston Martin has completely changed the game. For Indian buyers looking for a supercar that handles Mumbai traffic as well as it handles the open highway, the new Vantage offers a perfect blend of aggression and comfort.

Here is a simple review of the interior and technology of the Aston Martin Vantage, where Luxury Meets Sport.

The Cabin: A Complete Transformation

If you stepped inside the older Vantage, you might have seen buttons that looked borrowed from older Mercedes cars. That is no longer the case.

The new interior is arguably the biggest upgrade in the car’s history. Aston Martin has moved away from a cluttered design to clean, horizontal lines that make the cabin feel wider and more spacious. The materials are top-tier. We are talking about Bridge of Weir leather, hand-stitched upholstery, and premium Alcantara.

For the Indian climate, the quality of these materials matters. The cabin feels cool, breathable, and incredibly expensive. It finally feels like a car that costs several crores.

The Technology: Finally Modern

The most significant change for tech-savvy Indian owners is the infotainment system.

• The Screen: Gone is the old, non-touch screen. The Vantage now features a crisp 10.25-inch Pure Black touchscreen. It is integrated beautifully into the dashboard rather than just sticking out like a tablet.
• Connectivity: It comes with full wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Whether you are navigating through Google Maps in Delhi or streaming music on Spotify, the connection is seamless.
• Physical Controls: Thankfully, Aston Martin did not put everything on the touchscreen. They have kept physical buttons for the most important things like the gear selector, drive mode selection, and climate control. This is a huge plus for drivers who want to keep their eyes on the road.

Audio and Ambience

Luxury is also about what you hear. While the V8 engine provides the best soundtrack, the Vantage offers a standard 390w 11-speaker audio system. However, for the true audiophile, there is an optional Bowers & Wilkins halo system with 15 speakers that delivers concert-hall quality sound, perfect for masking the noise of chaotic city traffic.

Comfort and Practicality

A sports car in India needs to be more than just fast; it needs to be livable.

The Vantage features new "Sports Plus" seats. These are designed to hug you tight when you are driving fast around corners but offer enough padding to keep you comfortable on long drives. The driving position is low and sporty, giving you a real connection to the road.

Surprisingly, the Vantage is practical for a two-seater. There is space behind the seats for small bags, and the boot is large enough to fit a golf bag or luggage for a weekend getaway to a hill station.

The Verdict

The Aston Martin Vantage has always been beautiful on the outside. Now, the inside finally matches that beauty. It offers a cockpit that is focused on the driver but doesn't sacrifice luxury.

For the Indian luxury car buyer, the Vantage is no longer just a track toy. It is a sophisticated, high-tech machine that brings British craftsmanship to Indian roads. It is truly where luxury meets sport.
