Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe boot space, practicality and safety

2001 - 2007 (change model)
Practicality rating: 2 out of 52.0

Written by David Ross Published: 6 June 2019

The Vanquish shows its age here by only offering traction control to prevent the wheels from spinning and not a full stability system that can brake individual wheels to prevent a collision. There are dual front airbags fitted as standard but no side or curtain bags and although the Aston’s sophisticated carbonfibre and aluminium chassis is likely offer good protection in a crash, like most low volume exotic cars it was never put through a Euro NCAP test.

Unless the rear seat package was ordered seatbelts were only fitted to the front seats.

Even if you do choose a model with rear seats, you’ll end up using them for luggage when you don’t have extra bodies to transport because the boot is tiny. At 220 litres it’s a massive 80 litres smaller than that of the current and more compact Aston Vantage. That car has a practical opening hatch but the Vanquish makes do with a conventional saloon-style boot.

The opening for the door bins is impractically narrow and suitably only for mobile phones and slim hands. And although parking sensors were optional, they’re worth having – visibility when parking isn’t Lamborghini bad but this is an intimidating car to park.
