2026 Aston Martin Vantage review

Aston Martin Vantage: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.7/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Aston Martin Vantage sits near the top of its class. Sharp steering and a willing chassis; strong brakes. Stiff ride on broken roads and premium fuel recommended, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $195,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

Happy after a year

The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Jenna F. · Corpus Christi, TX · 23 months owned
Would buy again

Replaced an older Aston Martin with this one. Big step up in steering feel; I'd like a little more trunk space.
