What it is

The 2027 DB12 V8 is a minicompact car from Aston Martin. It uses gasoline and sends power to the rear wheels.

Its 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 works with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The defining EPA figure is 17 MPG combined.

The numbers

The EPA city rating is 15 MPG. The highway rating is 22 MPG. The 17-MPG combined figure blends those two types of driving into one number for everyday comparisons.

At 17 MPG, each gallon covers about the distance represented by that combined rating. Your result will follow how much of your driving is in town or on the highway.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates yearly fuel cost at $4,850 for this gasoline car. That figure gives you a direct budget marker for fuel use over a year.

Tailpipe emissions are rated at 507 grams of CO2 per mile.

How it compares

Use the 17-MPG combined number when comparing the DB12 V8 with other cars, then check whether your driving is closer to its 15-MPG city or 22-MPG highway rating. Fuel-efficient cars use the same kinds of EPA figures for that comparison.

Who it suits

This car suits a buyer who wants a rear-wheel-drive minicompact with a gasoline V8 and accepts a high annual fuel budget.

Its highway rating is higher than its city rating, so drivers with more open-road miles may get closer to the 22-MPG figure than the 15-MPG city figure.

Trade-offs

The V8, rear-wheel-drive layout, and automatic transmission define the powertrain, while the EPA numbers define the running cost. The trade-off is a 17-MPG combined rating alongside a $4,850 annual fuel estimate.

City driving is rated at 15 MPG, below the 22-MPG highway figure. Tailpipe CO2 is 507 grams per mile.

Verdict

The DB12 V8 is a specialized choice for someone set on a gasoline-powered, rear-drive minicompact car with eight-cylinder turbo power.

Plan around its 17 combined MPG rating and EPA fuel budget of $4,850 a year. Drivers whose miles are mostly on highways may see the more favorable side of its EPA range, while city-heavy use points toward the 15-MPG rating.
