Overview

Bugatti Chiron is synonymous with performance and the 2022 edition of this car is one of the best Bugattis ever made. Its magnificent powertrain, sensational performance, and premium cabin make it one of the most attractive choices in this segment. Everyone knows that the Chiron drives in a straight line like a beast. The mere excitement you feel when the car reaches more than 100 MPH is unrivaled in this segment. Furthermore, the cabin is upscale and functional as well. On the outside, the signature Chiron design stands out in the market.

Furthermore, The 2022 Bugatti Chiron is equipped with several safety features to protect in case any unforeseen circumstance happens. Some of the competitors of the 2022 Bugatti Chiron are the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack and McLaren Speedtail.

Buying Advice

If you love sporty cars, then Bugatti Chiron is the car you need. The W16 powertrain offers amazing performance, especially when it is cruised straight over the track. Furthermore, it offers almost all the features that a hypercar needs. Priced at an MSRP of $3,300,000, it is pricey but second hand markets are one we would recommend.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron is offered in three configurations. The base variant gets an 8.0L W16 powertrain with four turbochargers. It makes around 1500 horsepower and 1180 lb.-ft of torque. This performance output slightly increases as you go to different trim levels. It gets a standard AWD with 8-speed Dual Clutch Automatic. You can also customize the specs of this Bugatti Chiron through the Sur Mesure program of the brand.

Features

The Bugatti Chiron comes at a price of $3 million. There are three trims that come with the new Chiron. These are the base Chiron, Chiron Pur SPort, and Chiron Super Sport.

Engine and Performance
7.8/10

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron comes with an 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine. This powertrain can produce 1,578 horsepower and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. The straight line performance, for which the Chiron was already famous, is now more enhanced. Ferdinand Piech is the person who was given the task of tuning Veyron. For the new version of the Chiron, Piech was again called to make the car an engineering marvel. The car is delightfully responsive when the pedal is pushed down. The quad turbo engine delivers the power when you need it the most. This helps the car to reach the 60 MPH mark in just 2.2 seconds. It completes its quarter mile timing in 9.4 seconds.

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron offers more power as compared to the McLaren Speedtail. The Jesko Attack offers the same power as the Chiron. The torque output of the Chiron is the best out of all the rivals. The Chiron is also the quickest of all and surpasses both the Jesko Attack and the McLaren Speedtail as per their 0-60 MPH mark. The top speed of the car is 305 MPH, and the composure at this speed is unrivaled in Chiron.

2022 Bugatti Chiron Ride and Handling

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron comes with an adaptive and height-adjustable suspension. This helps in the overall stability of the car. This is further improved with the help of various vanes and strakes, flat underbody, front diffusers, and the massive rear diffuser. The lightweight carbon fiber monocoque offers excellent torsional rigidity. The new Chiron is more agile and imparts more confidence to the driver. The five drive modes of the car help the car to further customize its performance delivery to get the most out of it. The low stance profile of the car curbs the body roll almost completely. Furthermore, it is not just a track-oriented car, but it also manages well in traffic too, thanks to its apt damping and steering response.

2022 Bugatti Chiron Braking Performance

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron comes with carbon-ceramic disc brakes on all four of its wheels. The braking technology used in the car is directly from a Formula 1 race car. With a minimal nosedive, its braking mechanism brings the car to a halt without any jitters or jerks. There are eight-piston up front and six-piston at the back which were made of titanium. This curbs the heating during a case of abrupt braking. The brakes of such a car can last up to 50,000 miles. The exact information regarding the size of brake rotors is yet to be determined for the new Bugatti Chiron.

The data for the Bugatti Chiron, and McLaren Speedtail is yet to be determined.

Fuel Economy

As per the official EPA figures, the 2022 Bugatti Chiron offers 9 MPG of city fuel economy. This is increased to 14 MPG on a highway. The combined fuel economy of the Chiron is 12 MPG. The car comes with an enormous fuel tank of 22 gallons capacity. The overall range of travel of the car is 198 miles and 308 miles with a full fuel tank. The recommended fuel type is 98-octane gasoline. Moreover, at full tilt which is around 261 MPH, it will take Chiron 9 minutes to drain out its complete fuel tank. This is around three minutes less than the Veyron.

Moreover, the McLaren Speedtail offers a better range of travel than the Chiron.

Interior
6.6/10

The cabin of the 2022 Bugatti Chiron comes with Leather, titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber material that is beautifully blended together. The minimalist approach hints at the hard work that the designers went through. The interior is spacious and can easily sit even tall adults comfortably. The car seats only two occupants, which is the case with almost all the supercars of this segment. Visibility is sufficient enough for the driver. The Chiron, surprisingly, provides several interior storage options which include gloves and small areas to put your keys. The standard interior features include sports bucket seats, heated seats with power adjustable features, automatic climate control, and LED ambient lighting.

The cabin dimensions of the Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Jesko Attack and the McLaren Speedtail are not yet available for comparison. Quality wise, it is difficult to pick one out of the three, but we led the interior styling of the Chiron the most. However, the Speetail and the Jesko Attack come close in terms of the design. If you are someone that prefers a bit more aggressive cabin, then Jesko Attack will suit you more.

  • Automatic climate control

How intuitive is the 2022 Bugatti Chiron infotainment system?

The exact measurements of the infotainment system of the 2022 Bugatti Chiron are yet to be determined. The sound system is powered by Accuton.

The cabin features membrane zones which are further regulated by the mid range speakers present inside the car. You will not find a central screen, and all the necessary information is depicted on the driver’s instrument cluster. Other features of the infotainment include Wi-Fi capability.

Some of the most notable infotainment features available with the 2022 Bugatti Chiron include:

  • Accuton sound system
  • Driver’s instrument cluster
  • Diamond lined tweeters
  • Membrane zones

The side profile of the car stands out in the segment. The curves are evident throughout the exterior, imparting more of a futuristic style orientation. The front tires of the Chiron are 20 inches.

The sportier design is something that you find in almost every hypercar. This makes it difficult to pick the beat out of the rivals. The Bugatti Chiron is wider than the Koenigsegg Jesko Attack and the McLaren Speedtail. It is also slightly taller than the two of its rivals. Moreover, the wheelbase of the Chiron is also more than the Jesko Attack. In our view, Chiron provides a well balanced exterior. On the other hand, the other two have a straight forward hyper car look.

Some standout exterior features include:

  • 20 inches alloys
  • Massive rear diffuser
  • Signature grille design
  • LED projector headlights
  • Daytime running lights
  • LED tail lights

Safety

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron comes with an advanced airbag setup which includes frontal, side-impact, and curtain airbags. Other major safety features include an Anti-lock braking system, carbon fiber monocoque, rearview camera, parking sensors, and electronic stability control. Unfortunately, some of the driver aids are missing in the Chiron which includes blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. Being a super pricey automobile, the NHTSA and IIHS have not crash-tested the 2022 Bugatti Chiron yet. 

Some of the major safety features available with the 2022 Bugatti Chiron include

  • Carbon fiber monocoque
  • Parking sensors
  • Advanced airbags system
  • Electronic stability system
  • Rearview mirror
  • ABS

Competition

2022 Bugatti Chiron vs 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack

The Bugatti Chiron is slightly more expensive as compared to the 2022 Koenigsegg Jesko Attack. The Chiron’s performance in this segment is almost unmatched. The straight-line cruise of the car is quick and exhilarating. It’s not that the Jesko Attack is subpar with its track performance, but the Chiron is more reliable when it comes to performance-oriented tests. On the inside, we vouch for the Chiron’s design. The Jesko Attack’s cabin feels too aggressive, and almost appears kiddush at times.

2022 Bugatti Chiron vs 2022 McLaren Speedtail

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron is much more expensive as compared to the McLaren Speedtail, and that too by almost a million dollars. The engine of the 2022 Chiron is more performance-oriented as compared to the V12 powertrain of the 2022 Speedtail. It is more powerful and delivers more torque as compared to its rival. The Chiron is also quicker and leads in terms of acceleration by reaching the 60 MPH mark in less time than the rival. The Speedtail covers more range of travel than the Bugatti Chiron. 

Final Verdict

The 2022 Bugatti Chiron gives you performance, speed, and that too with luxury. The engine is powerful enough to make your drive full of thrill and excitement. The adaptive suspension makes the drive go like a breeze. It helps to avoid any small bumps that might come down the road. It is even stable and composed in traffic. Teh interior is premium and comfortable. However, it misses out on some of the drivers aids. On the outside, the Chiron’s look is itself a style statement and it is enough to make the spectators woo. It’s a safe car as well as it comes with most of the protective features needed. As per us, the 2022 Bugatti Chiron is surely a recommendation.
