McLaren Artura generations and years
| Generation | Years | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Artura (launch) | 2021–2024 | Revealed February 17, 2021 as McLaren’s next-generation High-Performance Hybrid supercar, with first deliveries planned for Q3 2021. NHTSA recalls cover 2023–2024 cars, and EPA’s first Artura listing is model year 2023.[1][5][3] |
| Artura Spider and MY25 Artura Coupe | 2024–present | Revealed February 27, 2024. Combined output rose to 700PS and 720Nm, and McLaren said the Spider’s upgrades were also incorporated into the 2025 model-year Artura Coupe. As of November 2026 McLaren’s site map lists the Artura and Artura Spider as current model pages, not legacy ones.[4][6] |
Hybrid powertrain
At launch McLaren paired a 2,993cc twin-turbo V6 with a 120-degree vee angle (585PS, 585Nm) with an E-motor (95PS, 225Nm) and a 7.4kWh usable lithium-ion battery of five modules. The hybrid parts add 130 kg in total, including an 88 kg battery pack, and McLaren says the V6 is 50 kg lighter than the V8 it replaces. The eight-speed gearbox has no reverse gear — the E-motor does the reversing.
McLaren quoted up to 30 km of pure-electric driving at launch and 33 km (21 miles) for the 2025 cars. EPA lists an 11-mile electric range (blended operation) for the 2023 Artura, 39 MPGe combined on battery power and 18 mpg combined on gasoline alone.[1][2][4][3]
Performance figures
McLaren quoted 0–100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 8.3 seconds and 0–300 km/h in 21.5 seconds for the launch coupe, with an electronically limited 330 km/h (205 mph). For the 700PS 2025 Spider it quotes 0–100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 8.4 seconds and the same 205 mph limit; the Spider’s roof opens or closes in 11 seconds.[1][4]
Warranty and servicing
At launch McLaren announced a five-year/75,000 km vehicle warranty, a six-year/75,000 km hybrid battery warranty, a three-year service plan and five years of roadside assistance in most regions, with services every 12 months, 15,000 km or 9,000 miles. For the 2025 cars McLaren states five years of unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty and a 10-year anti-perforation warranty; its 2024 release gives the battery cover as six years with 45,000 miles in one place and 75,000 km in another, so confirm the exact terms with a retailer.[7][4]
Launch pricing
What to check before buying a used Artura
On a used Artura, confirm completion of the NHTSA campaigns for 2023–2024 cars (two fuel-leak recalls) and the 2025 brake-line routing recall, and check which warranty terms apply to the car’s model year — the hybrid battery has its own cover.
High-pressure fuel pipe recall 22V908
Covers certain 2023 Artura cars whose high-pressure fuel pipe nuts may loosen.[5]
Low-pressure fuel pipe recall 23V796
Covers certain 2023–2024 Artura cars in which a pipe in the low-pressure fuel assembly may detach.[5]
Brake line routing recall 25V216
Covers certain 2020–2025 McLarens including the Artura; brake lines may be routed so the wrong side’s brake activates.[5]
Vehicle and battery warranty
McLaren announced a five-year vehicle warranty and a separate six-year hybrid battery warranty; confirm the remaining term and mileage limit for the specific car.[7][4]
Scheduled servicing
McLaren’s launch service interval for the Artura is every 12 months, 15,000 km or 9,000 miles; a retailer history should show those visits.[7]
