What it is

The 2012 Maybach Landaulet is a large car with rear-wheel drive. It runs on gasoline and uses a 5.5 L 12-cylinder turbo engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.

Its key figure is 12 combined MPG. That rating blends the car's 10 MPG city figure with its 16 MPG highway figure.

The numbers

Expect 10 MPG in city driving and 16 MPG on the highway. The combined rating is 12 MPG, so stop-and-go trips use fuel faster than steady highway travel.

The car's tailpipe output is 740.58 grams of CO2 per mile.

What it costs to run

Annual fuel cost is estimated at $6,850. Your actual bill will move with fuel prices and how much of your driving is in town versus on the highway.

How it compares

Use 12 combined MPG as the baseline when you line up the Landaulet against other large cars. A model with a higher combined number should use less fuel for the same distance; one with a lower number should use more. See other Maybach cars when making that comparison.

Who it suits

This car suits a buyer who wants a rear-wheel-drive large car and accepts high fuel use. It makes more sense for drivers whose priorities include its 12-cylinder powertrain rather than low running cost.

Trade-offs

The 16 MPG highway rating is 6 MPG higher than the 10 MPG city rating, giving highway trips a fuel advantage. Even so, the combined figure stays at 12 MPG.

The $6,850 annual fuel estimate and 740.58 grams of CO2 per mile are the main costs of choosing this gasoline powertrain.

Verdict

The Landaulet is a specialized choice for someone set on a large, rear-drive Maybach with a 5.5 L 12-cylinder turbo engine. Its five-speed automatic keeps the drivetrain straightforward, but the ownership math is demanding. Budget around $6,850 in yearly fuel and expect the lowest economy in town, where the rating is 10 MPG. Highway use improves the result to 16 MPG, yet 12 combined MPG remains the number to plan around. Choose it for the car's configuration, not for economical daily travel.
