We recommend
We recommend going for the standard 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe. It comes with all the basic features that you need. It also gets a generous safety kit as standard with the car. You can select from the Sport Plus Pack, Exterior Black Pack, Tech Pack, and Comfort Pack to further customize your Vantage Coupe for extra money. There are a ton of customization options for the Vantage Coupe, but it can also make the car very expensive at the same time.

The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe has already been released and is available to order.
Engine and Performance
7.0/10
The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe is mechanically the same car as it was with the previous year’s model. It is not a bad thing for Aston Martin as there was no issue in terms of the powertrain. The Vantage Coupe is powered by a Mercedes-Benz AMG sourced 4.0 L Twin-Turbo V-8 engine. The V8 motor is capable of producing a maximum power output of 503 horsepower and a maximum torque output of 505 pound-feet with the standard coupe. The same engine also comes with a 528 hp power output with the Vantage Coupe F1 Edition. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also get an optional 7-speed manual transmission for better engagement.
The engine sends the power to all four wheels and the powertrain is a big highlight of the Vantage Coupe. The Vantage Coupe takes only 3.6 seconds to reach from 0 to 60 miles per hour which is an impressive figure for the segment. The quarter-mile timing is also not bad as it takes only 11.2 seconds to complete the quarter-mile run. The powerful engine loves to be pushed hard and acceleration also comes really handy. There is no complaint in terms of the performance of the V8 motor. The top speed is also very impressive at 195 miles per hour.
2022 Aston Martin Vantage 4.0L Engine
The 2022 Vantage Coupe really impresses with the handling too. The car comes with an electronically controlled limited-slip differential as standard to help the handling. It also gets adaptive dampers, and all this hardware makes a difference to the real-world handling for sure. Vantage Coupe is one of the cars that you will enjoy driving on the tracks. The steering wheel is also very predictable and engages the driver very well.
The ride quality of the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe will not impress most buyers. It is not too bad and you can drive it around the town occasionally. But it still is not one of the comfortable cars out there. You can feel the sharper bumps filtering through the cabin. Even at higher speeds, the ride quality feels busy at all times and some of its rivals offer better ride quality for sure. The engine noise at highway speeds makes the experience even worse.

The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe is the fastest coupe in the segment to reach from o to 60 mph. The Porsche 911 Carrera is also ahead of the Vantage Coupe in the quarter-mile run. Porsche manages all this performance with the least powerful engine in the segment. Another British manufacturer that defeats the British rival Vantage Coupe in the 0 to 60 mph run is the 2022 Jaguar F-Type R coupe which completes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.5 seconds. The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe comes at number three and takes 3.6 seconds to complete the 0 to 60 mph sprint which is very impressive. The Merc is the slowest in the segment but the margin is not that much.
Fuel Economy
7.0/10
No one buys a sports car looking at the mileage stats, but it still matters to some users. All the cars in the segment come with a powerful engine so you can not expect a hatchback like fuel efficiency. The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe performs surprisingly well in the fuel economy department considering the segment. The Vantage Coupe delivers 19 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 20 mpg of combined fuel economy. The fuel efficiency figures are not bad for a V8 motor that offers that good performance. The Vantage Coupe also gets a big 19.3-gallon fuel tank which helps it deliver a highway range of over 463 miles.

The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe offers the best fuel economy in the segment. The Merc sourced engine fails to deliver the same efficiency in the AMG GT Coupe. The Mercedes-Benz AMG offers the least fuel efficiency and is also not the fastest of the lot. The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe also offers impressive fuel economy for the segment followed by the 2022 Jaguar F-Type R coupe which is marginally better than the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe.
Interior
8.0/10
The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage comes with premium quality materials inside the cabin. The interior layout is very simple and there are a plethora of options to customize the interiors. Still, the interior design is very plain compared to some of the other rivals, and it does not justify the $150,000 price tag when it comes to interior quality. However, the interior is practical and the space is also very decent for the segment. We do not get the exact interior dimensions for the 2022 Vantage Coupe but considering the practical experience with the previous models, it should be good enough for two passengers.
2022 Aston Martin Vantage Front Seats
The 2022 Vantage Coupe gets sports seats that come with power adjustment and memory functions as standard. The seats offer good support to the driver and the passenger, and they keep you in place when you’re cornering at high speeds. We don’t know the exact cargo capacity of the Vantage Coupe, but it can accommodate your golf bag for sure. The cabin controls are very easy to use and there are a lot of buttons inside the cabin for controls. The Vantage Coupe does not come with any major ergonomic concerns.

The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe is the only car in the segment that can accommodate 4 passengers at least on paper. The rear seats in the real world are only good for carrying small luggage. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe also offers decent space in the cabin and the cargo area is also respectable for the class. Being a Merc, it offers a very premium cabin with simplicity in mind that will appeal to a very wide range of audiences. The 2022 Jaguar F-Type R coupe comes with a slightly bigger cargo area. Standout interior features in the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage are:
Front Sport Bucket Seats
Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column

How intuitive is the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe’s infotainment system?
The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe offers a decent infotainment system with the package. It gets an 8-inch LCD screen that does not come with touchscreen compatibility. The infotainment screen is not a very big highlight of the Aston Martin Vantage Coupe. It is not acceptable in 2022 to get an infotainment screen that does not even support a touchscreen. The screen in itself is not that great and the graphics are also not that good. The infotainment tech used in the 2022 Vantage Coupe would be a decent system five years back.
2022 Aston Martin Vantage Infotainment System
There are many connectivity options with the screen and that is not an issue for the Vantage’s infotainment. You get traditional USB connectivity along with a Bluetooth phone and audio streaming. The other connectivity options include iPod and iPhone integration. Android Auto is still missing from the package which might be a concern for Android users. The standard 6 speakers audio system does a decent job for the audio but you can upgrade to the more premium audio. Standout infotainment features in the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage are:
The exterior styling of the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe is the best part of this car. The engineers at Aston Martin have made an aerodynamic design for the Vantage Coupe. No matter from which angle you look at it, it will impress you with its state-of-the-art exterior design. The front gets the signature “vane” grille and a slim assembly for the headlights which looks appealing. The muscular design of the Coupe gives it an excellent presence on the roads, and there will be many eyes turning to take a glance at the Vantage.

The side gets 20-inch wheels that look good with the overall design language of the Vantage Coupe. The 2022 Vantage is not a very long car, and that compliments the design of the Vantage from the side. The rear styling of the Vantage also looks very proportionate with the overall appearance of the car. It gets quad exhausts at the rear to add a flavor of sportiness to the car.

The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe is the shortest coupe in the segment, but it manages the longest wheelbase in the class. It is also the widest of all the cars in the segment with quite a margin, which makes it more practical than the rivals. The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe has the shortest wheelbase, yet it comes with two rows of seating. That clearly translates to a very cramped and unusable rear seat. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Coupe is the longest car in the competition. The Jaguar F-Type R Coupe comes with balanced dimensions. Standout exterior features in the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage are:
The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe has not been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) like most expensive sports cars. But Aston Martin knows the importance of safety for their buyers and provides a host of active and passive safety features with the 2022 Vantage Coupe.
The Vantage Coupe is built on a reliable and tested chassis. The Coupe also gets electronic stability control, an anti-lock braking system, driveline traction control, front and rear parking sensors, and an aerial view camera system to keep you safe in every situation. Safety features include in the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage are:
Electronic Stability Control
Driveline Traction Control

Competition
7.0/10
2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe vs. 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe
The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe uses the engine sourced from Mercedes-Benz AMG but performs better when it comes to acceleration. On the other hand, the Merc uses the same engine to drive more smoothly and silently. The engine on the Aston Martin Vantage becomes noisy at high speeds. The Merc offers better interior quality and more matured ride quality between the two. The 2022 Vantage Coupe is a better choice for those who prefer exclusivity.

2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe vs. 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe
The 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe carries its own legacy in the segment. It offers a more refined interior and the ride quality is also better than the Aston Martin Vantage Coupe. The Aston Martin Vantage Coupe comes with a more powerful engine but is not better than the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in terms of real-world performance. The Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe is also cheaper, which makes it a better choice compared to the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe.

2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe vs. 2022 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe
The 2022 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe is a real beast when it comes to performance. It comes with a more opulent cabin and also performs better than the Vantage Coupe. Jaguar F-Type is also more reliable compared to the Vantage. The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe has an edge in terms of mileage which is slightly better than the Jaguar. The Jaguar F-Type R Coupe is also the cheapest coupe in the competition, which makes it a better option.
2022 Jaguar F-Type R
Final Verdict
The new Aston Martin Vantage carries forward the same legacy for the 2022 model too. It comes with a powerful engine that performs very well in the real world. The handling and driving dynamics of the car are also a great advantage in the favor of the Vantage Coupe.
The striking exterior style appeals to a lot of buyers to pick it over the competition. There are also a few shortcomings with the Vantage Coupe like a noisy engine at higher speeds, busy ride quality, and inferior interior quality. If you can ignore all these quirks, then the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage Coupe is a great option in the segment.
