What it is

This 2022 McLaren Automotive 720S Spider is a two-seater car with rear-wheel drive. It uses gasoline and a 4.0 L turbocharged eight-cylinder engine paired with an automatic (AM-S7) transmission.

Its defining EPA figure is 18 MPG combined. That rating blends the car's 15 MPG city result and 22 MPG highway result.

The numbers

The 720S Spider returns 15 MPG in city driving and 22 MPG on the highway. The combined rating is 18 MPG.

Its tailpipe output is listed at 505 grams of CO2 per mile.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates yearly fuel spending at $4,550. That estimate is for gasoline use and reflects the car's 18 MPG combined rating.

How it compares

The supplied figures put this model at 18 MPG combined, with a 15 MPG city figure and 22 MPG highway figure. You can line it up with other McLaren Automotive cars using those same measures.

Who it suits

This car suits a driver seeking a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive layout and a gasoline powertrain. Its highway rating may matter more to someone who spends more miles outside the city.

Trade-offs

The 22 MPG highway figure is higher than the 15 MPG city figure, so stop-and-go driving uses more fuel per mile. The two-seat body also leaves no rear seating.

A $4,550 annual fuel estimate and 505 grams of CO2 per mile are part of the ownership picture.

Verdict

Choose the 720S Spider if its two-seat format, rear-drive layout, and turbocharged eight-cylinder engine match how you plan to drive. The numbers point to a car that asks for regular gasoline spending rather than low running costs: 18 MPG combined, with city use falling to 15 MPG. Highway trips return 22 MPG. Buyers who need extra seats or want a smaller annual fuel bill should look elsewhere, while drivers focused on this layout can use the EPA figures as their baseline.
