While details are scarce, reports suggest that the upcoming McLaren SUV will come with either a dual or tri-motor setup, powering all four wheels. The SUV is also expected to sit relatively low and have compact dimensions, with performance levels similar to that of the Aston Martin DBX 707. Reports also state that the upcoming electric SUV from McLaren could be priced anywhere between GBP 2,50,000 to GBP 3,50,000.

McLaren, which has long denied its plans to produce an SUV, seems to have had a change of heart, mainly based on the sales results of its competitors. SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX have heavily outsold their respective supercar siblings globally. Even Porsche's SUV models, such as the Macan and Cayenne account for well over half of the brand's total sales volume when compared to its supercar offerings.

That definitely looks like an EV6 with bigger wheels, especially the front end.

Im fairly close to a number of people at McLaren and a SUV is not something that has ever come up in any discussions on future models.
