Choose the Cullinan Black Badge for its specific combination of SUV body, all-wheel drive, and a 6.7-liter turbocharged 12-cylinder engine. The numbers point to a clear ownership trade-off: 13 combined MPG, just 11 MPG in city use, and an EPA annual fuel cost of $6,300.

Buyers comparing SUVs should use the combined figure first, then check the city and highway ratings against their own miles.
