Hi Guest
Two McLarens are listed in Saudi Arabia, and they represent the old and the new of the brand: a V8 grand tourer and a V6 plug-in hybrid. Both are mid-engined two-seaters built around a carbon-fibre tub with dihedral doors.
Drive both before deciding — on a two-car range, the difference between them is the whole choice.
How much does a new McLaren cost in Saudi Arabia?
From SAR 1,010,900 to SAR 1,080,500 — one of the narrowest ranges any manufacturer offers here, because the two cars sit within a small margin of each other. That means the decision is not about budget at all; it is about which drivetrain you want to live with.
Which McLaren models are sold here?
The GT is the grand tourer: a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, softer suspension and a long luggage bay above the engine. The Artura is the newer car, using a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor and a plug-in battery in place of the larger engine.
GT or Artura?
The GT if the car will cover distance and carry luggage — it is the more conventional and the more comfortable of the two. The Artura if you want the newer engineering and the sharper responses, and are comfortable with a hybrid system, which adds capability but also complexity. Neither is a compromise on structure; both use the same tub.
What does McLaren ownership involve?
Servicing through the authorised network, because the tub, the hydraulic suspension and the electronics are all specialist work. The carbon structure itself is immune to corrosion, which is a real advantage over a long ownership. Tyres, brakes and scheduled maintenance are the recurring costs, and the service file protects the value.
