The 2027 Enclave AWD makes sense for shoppers who specifically want a gasoline SUV with all-wheel drive. Plan around its 21 MPG combined rating and the EPA's $3,200 yearly fuel estimate. Highway commuters may find the 24 MPG highway figure easier to live with, while frequent city drivers face the 20 MPG city rating.

The numbers
The figure to watch is 21 MPG combined. That rating blends the Enclave's 20 MPG city figure with its 24 MPG highway figure. City driving uses more fuel; steady highway travel uses less.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates $3,200 a year for fuel. Tailpipe emissions are rated at 423 grams of CO2 per mile. Your actual bill will depend on how much you drive and how much city versus highway travel you do.
How it compares
The Enclave's 21 combined MPG gives you a clear reference point when comparing gasoline SUVs.
Who it suits
This SUV suits a buyer who wants all-wheel drive and accepts gasoline running costs in exchange for an SUV body. Its highway rating favors drivers who spend more time on open roads than in city traffic.
Trade-offs
All-wheel drive and the SUV format come with a 21 MPG combined rating rather than a higher fuel-economy figure. The 20 MPG city number can raise fuel use in stop-and-go driving, while the turbo four-cylinder and automatic transmission define its powertrain.
Verdict
Choose the 2027 Enclave AWD if all-wheel traction and SUV utility are central to your next vehicle, and you can budget $3,200 each year for gasoline. Its 24 MPG highway estimate is more favorable for long trips than its 20 MPG city estimate. Drivers focused on minimizing fuel use should compare its 21 MPG combined result with other SUVs before deciding.
