People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross:
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a compact crossover SUV produced by Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors since October 2017. It was previewed by the XR-PHEV and XR-PHEV II concepts, revealed in 2013 and 2015. The production version was first introduced at the 87th Geneva Motor Show in March 2017. It slots between the RVR/ASX/Outlander Sport and Outlander in Mitsubishi's global crossover lineup.
The diesel variant was launched in June 2019, followed by the PHEV variant in December 2020. The diesel is not available in North America. The name of this vehicle originates from the unrelated compact sports car, the Eclipse. Unlike the original Eclipse, however, the Eclipse Cross is not assembled in the United States as Mitsubishi closed its Diamond-Star Motors plant in Normal, Illinois in February 2016. Instead, the SUV is assembled in Japan, China, and Brazil....(Read more on Wikipedia)
facelift 2021 Overview:
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (facelift 2021). With 193 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1910 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 10.9 s). The top speed reaches 162 km/h. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
While the combined 188 Hp sounds potent, acceleration is modest at 10.9 seconds. The electric motors provide good initial torque, making it feel sprightly in urban settings.
Fuel Economy
Exceptional fuel economy (1.8 l/100 km) is achievable if regularly charged, making it highly efficient for short commutes. Long trips without charging will see higher petrol consumption.
Best Use Case:
City driving and short to medium commutes with access to charging, ideal for eco-conscious buyers seeking low running costs.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Distinctive exterior styling stands out in its segment.
- • Available Plug-in Hybrid offers excellent efficiency and low emissions.
- • Mitsubishi's S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) system provides superior traction.
- • Good safety rating from Euro NCAP.
- • Practical interior with decent cargo space.
Cons:
- • CVT transmission can feel unrefined and dull performance.
- • Petrol engine performance is adequate but not exciting.
- • Interior materials, while improved, still trail some rivals.
- • Rear visibility can be compromised by the split rear window design.
- • Limited engine choices compared to some competitors.
