McLaren Not Interested To Enter Into SUV Segment
If you can name one segment of the most demand and the most developed at this time, then the SUV segment could be the top most we mention. The shift of consumer interest to the SUV itself is also visible from the interest of consumers to this car segment. And this condition makes many manufacturers who previously kekeh not produce SUV was finally softened as well.
There are some famous brands that eventually make SUVs, such as Lamborghini with Lamborghini Urus, then Maserati with Maserati Levante, and Ferrari with Ferrari UtilityVehicle (FUV) in the future. Then, whether ultimately other brands such as McLaren will follow in the footsteps of the compatriots by producing Super-SUV? Apparently the McLaren is still strong establishment and firmly rejected the statement. Quoted via AutoCar, McLaren's Chief Design Officer Dan Parry-Williams says McLaren is not interested in building a super SUV, and they are more interested in focusing on producing super-fast cars to their advantage.
It said it does not believe that the SUV, which is becoming a trend today, can serve the impression of sporty and happy users. Parry-Williams also added, with the philosophy of 'Everything for a Reason' that carried by his company, making the SUV does not seem appropriate and even deviated from what is proclaimed by the company. The statement from McLaren not to make its own SUV has been long enough, even in 2015, Wayne Bruce, Head of PR McLaren also mentioned the same statement about the possibility of McLaren produce an SUV. So, it can be said that McLaren is a brand that firmly holds their stance.
But the firmness held by McLaren itself is actually a good thing, because basically when all brands of fast cars are already competing to produce a Super SUV, then cars like McLaren Senna is something that is refreshing. In addition, McLaren itself also wants to focus their energy and resources to develop Hybrid engines, where hybrid engines will become the standard for all core models, such as the successor McLaren 720S which will arrive in 2022. In addition, McLaren is also working on electrical machinery and batteries can serve as a car power source, with a technology base from McLaren P1.
Well, if any of you are still hoping to see the Super SUV design McLaren, it seems you have to be patient and wait, because the McLaren itself is still firm with its establishment. What if you think? Come to your opinion, man.
