The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante offers a luxurious interior that remains largely unchanged from the regular model. The cabin is elegantly designed, featuring high-quality materials and physical controls for most functions. Despite the car’s size, the view from the driver’s seat is straightforward and easy to navigate.
One of the standout features of the Vanquish Volante is its retractable roof, which can be opened in just 14 seconds and closed in 16 seconds. The roof can be operated at speeds of up to 31mph and can even be controlled remotely using the key fob. However, some users may find the process of opening and closing the roof a bit fiddly, as it requires multiple presses of the switch.
When the roof is closed, the boot offers 219 litres of storage space, which is slightly less than the coupe version. With the roof stowed, the boot space shrinks to a mere 187 litres, making it suitable for only a few overnight bags.
Inside the cabin, the Vanquish Volante is equipped with the latest Apple CarPlay system, Ultra, which seamlessly integrates with the infotainment screen and driver’s display. The system offers a variety of design options that are both visually appealing and easy to use. Climate controls are primarily managed through Apple CarPlay, but Aston Martin has included physical cylindrical rollers for adjusting temperature and fan speed. However, there is a slight issue with the temperature control being overlaid on the left-hand side of the screen, which can obstruct other information displayed on certain apps. Aston Martin has acknowledged this issue and is working on a solution.
Overall, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante offers a blend of luxury and performance in a stylish package. With its top-down driving experience and sophisticated interior features, the Vanquish Volante is sure to impress even the most discerning drivers.
