Safety

The McLaren GT has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Chiron doesn’t offer knee airbags.

Both the McLaren GT and the Chiron have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

Car and Driver

Suspension and Handling

For better maneuverability, the McLaren GT’s turning circle is 10.1 feet tighter than the Chiron’s (39.7 feet vs. 49.8 feet).

Chassis

The McLaren GT may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 800 to 1000 pounds less than the Bugatti Chiron.

Cargo Capacity

The McLaren GT has a much larger trunk than the Chiron (20.2 vs. 2 cubic feet).

Ergonomics

The McLaren GT’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Chiron’s

The McLaren GT’s standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Chiron doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.

The McLaren GT’s standard separate stalk mounted cruise control is close at hand. The Chiron’s standard cruise control is on an over-crowded turn signal stalk.

Recommendations

The McLaren GT outsold the Bugatti Chiron by over 17 to one during 2022.
