Thank the car gods, Aston Martin has ditched the old Mercedes COMAND-based infotainment for the in-house-developed platform that debuted in the DB12 last year. Featuring an integrated 10.25-inch touchscreen display, its connectivity options support Android and iOS connectivity, but the system also retains physical controls for important mechanical aspects and climate control, and manual override switches for the stability control, exhaust, chassis, lane keep assist, and park sensors – because your eyes should be on your surroundings, not a screen, to find basic controls.
Integrated 3D navigation with online connectivity and What3Words functionality make navigation easier, while a 4G LTE connection keeps the Vantage online wherever you are. You can also connect via a mobile app to stay connected with your car on the go. Various sound systems are available, from a base setup with 11 speakers and 390 watts to a 1,170W system with 15 speakers from Bowers & Wilkins.
As for the design, its evolution centers around the new integrated screen, with the dash now accommodating narrow air vents and supple materials, like Bridge of Weir leather.
