For drivers who need four-wheel drive in an SUV
This Escalade suits a buyer seeking a gasoline SUV with four-wheel drive, an 8-cylinder engine, and an automatic transmission.
It makes more sense for drivers who accept a 16 MPG combined rating and the listed $5,150 annual fuel cost as part of that choice.
Fuel use is the main trade-off
The 6.2-liter 8-cylinder engine and four-wheel-drive layout come with 14 MPG city and 18 MPG highway ratings. Those figures mean more gasoline use than an SUV with a higher MPG rating.
The upside is a straightforward gasoline powertrain with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The cost side is the EPA annual fuel estimate of $5,150.
A four-wheel-drive SUV with a high fuel bill
Choose the 2027 Cadillac Escalade 4WD if its SUV body, four-wheel drive, and 8-cylinder gasoline powertrain match your priorities. Its 16 combined MPG rating is easy to understand, but the $5,150 annual fuel estimate deserves a place in the budget.
City-heavy drivers should focus on the 14 MPG city figure, while highway users get the higher 18 MPG rating.
