Who it suits
The Vanquish suits a driver who wants a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive gasoline car and accepts a high annual fuel estimate. Its highway rating is stronger than its city rating, so driving that is mostly highway aligns more closely with its 21 MPG figure.
Trade-offs
The two-seat layout and rear-wheel-drive setup define the car's format. Fuel use is the clear cost trade-off: 13 MPG city, 16 MPG combined, $5,150 in estimated yearly fuel, and 563 grams of CO2 per mile.
Verdict
Choose the 2026 Vanquish for its specific two-seat, rear-wheel-drive layout and 5.2-liter turbocharged 12-cylinder engine. Plan around its 16 MPG combined result rather than the 21 MPG highway number if your trips mix roads. The EPA's $5,150 annual fuel estimate is a major part of ownership math, and the 563-gram-per-mile CO2 figure puts its fuel use plainly in view.
