The numbers
The Escalade returns 17 MPG combined under EPA ratings. City driving is rated at 15 MPG, while highway driving is 19 MPG.
That spread means stop-and-go use will consume more fuel than steady highway travel. Its tailpipe output is 532 grams of CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates annual fuel cost at $4,850. Your actual bill will change with fuel prices, mileage, traffic, and driving habits.
At 17 MPG combined, frequent city miles will use more gasoline than highway miles, reflected by the 15-MPG city rating.
How it compares
Use the Escalade's 17 combined MPG, 15 city MPG, and 19 highway MPG as figures to place beside other SUVs in the fuel-efficient SUVs chart.
Its rear-wheel-drive layout and gasoline 8-cylinder engine make it a different reference point from SUVs using other drivetrains or fuels.
Who it suits
This Escalade suits a buyer looking for a gasoline SUV with rear-wheel drive and a large-displacement 8-cylinder engine.
It also fits drivers who can budget for an EPA-rated $4,850 in yearly fuel cost.
Trade-offs
The 6.2-liter 8-cylinder engine and rear-wheel-drive setup come with a 17-MPG combined rating. City efficiency is lower at 15 MPG, although the highway figure rises to 19 MPG.
The annual fuel estimate is substantial, so driving patterns and fuel prices will matter to ownership costs.
Verdict
Choose the 2027 Escalade 2WD if its gasoline 8-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, and SUV body match what you need. The key budget figure is $4,850 in estimated yearly fuel, with 17 MPG across city and highway use. Highway trips should use less fuel per mile than urban driving, but the 15-MPG city rating remains the constraint. Compare those numbers with other SUVs before deciding whether this powertrain fits your normal routes and fuel budget.
