Who it suits. Buyers wanting a gasoline SUV with all-wheel drive Drivers who accept high yearly fuel spending
The 2027 Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a gasoline all-wheel-drive SUV for buyers willing to budget heavily for fuel. Its 13 combined MPG rating is the central ownership number, and the EPA's $6,300 annual estimate puts that choice in dollars. City driving is rated at 11 MPG, while highway travel rises to 18 MPG. If fuel cost or emissions are your main concern, this model's 656 grams of CO2 per mile and low MPG make the decision straightforward: look elsewhere. If its drivetrain and SUV format fit your priorities, the fuel trade-off is explicit.
What it is
The 2027 Cullinan is a Rolls-Royce SUV in the EPA's Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class. It uses gasoline, all-wheel drive, and an automatic S8 transmission.
Power comes from a 6.7-liter, 12-cylinder turbo engine. Its defining EPA figure is 13 combined MPG.
The numbers
The Cullinan returns 11 MPG in city driving and 18 MPG on the highway. The combined figure of 13 MPG is the useful starting point for mixed driving.
Its tailpipe output is 656 grams of CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates yearly fuel cost at $6,300. At 13 combined MPG, regular driving means frequent gasoline stops compared with vehicles that travel farther on each gallon.
Your actual bill will depend on how much you drive and how much of that driving is in town or on the highway.
How it compares
The Cullinan's 13 combined MPG gives it a fuel-use profile unlike SUVs designed around economy. Shoppers focused on gallons and yearly cost can review fuel-efficient SUVs alongside it.

Who it suits
This SUV suits a buyer who wants a large all-wheel-drive vehicle and accepts high gasoline use as part of that choice.
It is a poor match for drivers whose first filter is low fuel spending or high MPG.
Trade-offs
All-wheel drive and a 6.7-liter 12-cylinder turbo engine come with a 13 combined MPG rating. City use is lower at 11 MPG, while highway driving reaches 18 MPG.
The EPA fuel estimate of $6,300 a year is the key running-cost trade-off.
Verdict
Choose the 2027 Cullinan if an all-wheel-drive gasoline SUV matters more to you than fuel economy. Its 13 combined MPG and $6,300 EPA annual fuel estimate make the running cost clear before you buy.
Drivers who spend most of their time in city traffic should expect the 11 MPG city rating to matter most. Highway-heavy use benefits from the 18 MPG figure, but this remains a high-consumption SUV.
