Overview

McLaren has done it again – another supercar that looks extremely promising. This is McLaren’s first attempt at making a consumer-production hybrid car. McLaren purists might be gutted at the sight of a V6, which they have never used previously, but coupled with the electric motors, the Artura is a powerful car, by all means. 

Buying Advice

While we often see that most of the supercars were offered in a single tech-bumped trim, the 2022 McLaren Artura is offered in four trim options although the powertrain remains the same. Since the pricing details are not yet known for the upper trim levels, we recommend choosing the Vision model to get an uncompromised performance, agility, comfort, and experience.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The Artura is McLaren’s vision into the future – a hybridized one, which perhaps will slowly evolve into an all-electric one. Also, the Artura is “affordable” – by McLaren standards, that is. It won’t be that tough to get your hands on one of these. It will mostly go up against the likes of Audi R8, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Acura NSX.

Features

The 2022 McLaren Artura is available in 4 beautifully articulated trim levels namely, Standard, Performance, TechLux, and the Vision. McLaren has pumped up these four trim levels with a grand set of features maintaining hardly visible differences as the trim game keeps growing.

Although the Hybrid powertrain and performance attributes remain the same across all the trim levels.

Fuel Economy
6.0/10

McLaren has not yet revealed the official MPG figures for their new hybrid supercar. Since this is an entirely new powertrain, we won’t know the figures for sure until an official spec is released. We also do not know the gas tank capacity of the car. The all-electric range will be around 19 miles, with a lithium-ion battery of 7.4 kWh. The Artura can be plugged in and recharged, with a 0-80% charge in just 2 and a half hours. We expect the V6 to deliver a feasible fuel economy.

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is the only one that can cross the 20 MPH mark. The Acura NSX and Audi R8 are a little less friendly on your wallet. Even after housing a smaller tank, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT can still deliver a better range for both the Audi R8 and Acura NSX.

Interior
5.0/10

McLaren has made sure to pay attention to the interior and not just performance and design. The Artura is abundant with leather and microsuede trims. High-quality materials are found throughout. They also include a Jet Black Alcantara throughout the interior with tonal stitching. Alcantara can be found on a lot of surfaces and the headlining is also of Alcantara. The dashboard has a unique design with the vertical infotainment screen tilted towards the driver. 

You also get ClubSport seats along with harnesses. The seats are all wrapped in luxurious leather with numerous options to upgrade to Nappa leather. You can also upgrade to 10-way power-adjustable heated front seats. There are no rear seats, but the front seats are sporty and focus on the driver’s visibility. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped and the gearshift paddles have a Black Stain finish on them. Spacing also shouldn’t be an issue. Also, numerous color options are available to go along with your choice of aesthetic. The British supercar has a trunk in the front, no surprise. The capacity is around 6 cubic feet, which is very tiny, but you must remember it is a supercar and no supercars are practical.

Since there is only seating for 2 people, interior spacing is not a problem for these cars. The Mercedes-Benz is the only car with 10 cubic feet of cargo storage, while the rest can barely fit a suitcase. The interior dimensions of the Artura are not unveiled by McLaren yet, we hope it’d be sufficient enough for an average-sized person. Some interior features are:

  • 10-way power-adjustable heated Comfort Seats (optional)
  • ClubSport seats with harnesses
  • Frameless electrochromic dimming
  • Alcantara can surfaces
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • McLaren dedication plaque

2022 McLaren Artura: Infotainment and Connectivity

The Artura comes with an 8” vertically mounted infotainment screen. It runs on McLaren Infotainment System II, an Android-based platform. It is a much-improved infotainment system from the previous McLarens. The software is revamped to make it more intuitive and more responsive. 

The driver also gets an HD digital cluster. You are greeted with features such as Bluetooth, AM/FM radio, SiriusXM radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, USB ports, iPod integration, navigation, voice control, and it’s topped off with a McLaren Audio System. Some highlights of the infotainment system are:

  • 8” MIS II
  • AM/FM Radio
  • SiriusXM Radio
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • USB ports
  • iPod integration
  • Bluetooth
  • User profiles

Safety
2.0/10

McLaren, being one of the most versatile supercars, offers the most advanced safety and driver-assistance features in the world. First of all, Artura is based on the all-new McLaren Carbon Fibre Lightweight Architecture(MCLA) that contributes to a lighter body and more agility. It offers all the essential safety features and driver assistance technology like:

  • Hill Hold Assist
  • Brake Assist Technology
  • Automatic high-beams
  • Road-sign recognition
  • Automatic Speed limiter
  • Anti-Lock Braking System

Final Verdict

Absolutely! The new McLaren Artura was not expected, but suffice to say that it did meet our expectations. It offers a bit of everything. For anyone not wanting to spend millions on a McLaren hybrid before, now have the chance to grab one. It is super quick, gorgeous, has a luxurious interior, and also thinks about the environment.
