What to Weigh Before Buying
The Mulsanne’s scale, rear-wheel-drive layout, and 6.8-liter V8 define its road presence, while its 11 city MPG and 18 highway MPG make fuel planning part of the ownership calculation. Its 25.4-gallon fuel capacity supports longer intervals between stops, but the required premium unleaded fuel should remain part of the operating budget.
Consider how the sedan’s 11 cubic feet of rear-seat cargo space fits regular needs, and measure garage or parking space against its 219.5-inch length and 86.9-inch width with mirrors. A close review of final pricing is also important because tax, title, registration and dealer fees are excluded from MSRP.
