New Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Overview

With striking good looks, Super All-Wheel Control and a powerful 1.5 turbocharged petrol engine, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a rare combination for an SUV: it’s as good to drive as it is to look at. It’s setup to handle and go, but don’t think for a second Mitsubishi’s skimped on utility. There’s a useful 1.6-tonne tow capacity and 448-litre boot as well as a wide range of useful features that make life easier. Features like keyless entry, an electronic parking brake, power-folding door mirrors, Blind Spot Warning, Automatic High Beam and on GT models, LED headlights and a powered panoramic sunroof. Outstanding off-road credentials complete the package.

Design

If athleticism could be captured in form, the Eclipse Cross would be a perfect example. Its sporty stance, SUV shape and elegant body lines give it an aura of sophistication and energy not often found in cars of this type. It’s stunning.

Drive

An amazing drive awaits with sharp handling, turbocharged performance and Super All-Wheel Control for unbeatable grip in any weather. There’s 152bhp and 184 lb-ft of torque on tap, cruise control fitted as standard and dedicated Snow and Gravel terrain modes.

Practicality

With its 1,600kg tow capacity you can haul with confidence. The boot has a 341-litre load volume or 448-litres if you slide the rear seats forward. Got young children? There’s ISOFIX mounting points on both rear outermost seats.
