Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2018 Review

Mitsubishi is a well-known manufacturer of four-wheel drive vehicles and largely due to the popularity of its SUVs, Mitsubishi began creating crossovers. A crossover is a vehicle that combines the characteristics of a car and those of a SUV.

Prior to 2017, the Mitsubishi Eclipse was a well-known sports vehicle. However, during the Geneva car show, a compact crossover called the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, sometimes known as a micro-SUV, was unveiled. So, you may see the first-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross from 2018 to 2020, and the second generation in 2021.

Today, CarsGuide provides you additional information on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2018.

Exterior Design

The appearance of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross reveals that it is a crossover, but also appears to be a good SUV.To begin, looking from the front, it boasts headlights that resemble dual zone protection LED lighting. However, there is only one project LED lamp. High and low beams are employed in this manner. LED daytime running lights are also visible as a strip. The fog lights and signal lights may be seen as we descend from the headlights.

You can also view the sensors in the bumper. Next, we can see the chrome-finished grille. A gloss-black polished one may be seen beneath the grille.
The bottom of the car has a nickel finish.

The side view of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross shows a good beautiful appearance. There is also a nickel frame surrounding the door panes.

There is a power-retractable power mirror when it comes to side mirrors.
Furthermore, because there is a smart key entry option, the door can be locked and unlocked simply pressing the button on the door handle while the key is in hand.

There are also 18-inch alloy wheels visible. The alloy wheel features a two-tone black and silver finish as well. The unique feature of this vehicle is its 177 mm ground clearance.
In the rear view, we can see the sunroof, which provides us a wonderful perspective of the roof. There’s also a roof spoiler in the back of the vehicle. The most notable feature is the splitting of the rear windshield

To open the boot of this car, you must press the button. We get 341 liters of boot space, and increase the boot space to 448 liters by folding the seat forward.

Interior Design

When it comes to the interior of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, it is completely black. The nickel touch, on the other hand, has given the vehicle a sumptuous appearance.
When it comes to the doors, they include power shutters and mirror controls. It is also possible to observe doors with nickel handles. A fabric armrest near the door handle has also been added for the driver’s comfort.

The door also serves as a useful storage space. A very comfy driving seat is available. In addition, the other seat in the drive cabin, like the driver’s seat, has a heating option.
When it comes to the steering wheel, it includes a leather wrap dual multifunctional wheel. This vehicle sports a black steering wheel with a stylish appearance.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross now offers dual zone climate control. It also features an excellent infotainment system. There are also six speakers in the car. This is the Rockford Fosgate audio system.

There are plenty of storage compartments throughout the car.
The passenger section, like the driving cabin, is created with a blend of complete black and nickel. As a result, guests can travel in comfort as well.

It is designed to seat three persons in the rear, and three headrests are provided. It also has plenty of legroom. The individual in the middle will not be hampered by the floor hump in front of them. However, two people can travel extremely comfortably.
Armrests, electrical outlets, and a large storage area are also available in the passenger compartment.

Performance

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This gives us a 6-speed manual transmission. And you can get 152 hp and 250 Nm of torque.
If we talk about the fuel economy of this vehicle, it will be 7.3L/100km. Since the fuel tank capacity is 63L, the vehicle can travel a distance of 863 km after a full tank.
Also, the top speed here is 205 km per hour.

Ride Quality

When it comes to the ride quality of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the engine noise is extremely minimal. The steering input is also excellent. That implies the steering is really light. You can also get a nice perspective of the driving position.
The 360-degree camera makes driving simple. It is quite easy to control the vehicle’s stability because it has a turning radius of 10 meters.

Safety & Technology

We can see 7 airbags in this vehicle. Also, lane departure warning, active cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-sport warning and lane change assist have been included. Because there is a safety acceleration system, in the presence of an obstacle in front of the vehicle or behind on the ground, and if it accelerates by mistake, the vehicle is prevented from moving.

Because there are rain sensor wipers, the auto wipers turn on when water falls. Also, it recognizes whether there is a vehicle in front or not, and the head and beam are automatically adjusted accordingly, so driving is very comfortable.
