If you’re in the market for a family-focused SUV that can offer incredible performance, then a Mitsubishi just might be your best bet. But how can you choose between the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and its larger sibling, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander? Here’s a quick comparison so you and your family can find a Mitsubishi to meet your family’s needs.
Who Might Love the Eclipse Cross?
City Dwellers
The Eclipse Cross is just 179 inches long, making it over six inches shorter than the Outlander and an excellent fit for city-lovers, who thrive where parking is tight. Those with smaller garages may also appreciate the compact frame.
Foul-Weather Champions
While Mitsubishi’s S-AWC all-wheel-drive system is available on the Outlander, it’s standard on all tiers of the 2024 Eclipse Cross, ensuring excellent traction even in the harsh New York winters.
Cargo-Conscious Consumers
If carrying plenty of shopping, luggage, or even instruments is part of your family’s routine, you may want to strongly consider the Eclipse Cross. It offers 23.4 cubic feet of cargo space in the default configuration, more than double the Eclipse’s capability with its third row in place, with over 50 cubic feet with the second row folded.
Who Might Love the Outlander?
Growing Families
If your family expects to seat more than five passengers, the Outlander is your Mitsubishi. With comfortable seating for 7, the Outlander is a great fit for those with lots of love to share. And families with tall teens will appreciate the 39.9 inches of legroom in the second row.
The Safety-Minded
While both the Eclipse Cross and the Outlander have an impressive suite of driving assist features and both active and passive safety technology, the Outlander edges ahead, with top crash test ratings and a Top Safety Pick designation from the IIHS offering extra peace of mind.
The Eco-Conscious and Economy-Minded
The 2024 Outlander’s EPA ratings of up to 27 mpg combined just edge out the 26 mpg the Eclipse Cross offers, but with a PHEV powertrain on offer, the Outlander takes the cake when it comes to economy and the ability to drive on electric power, offering 64 MPGe combined.
Whether the Eclipse Cross is your next family ride or the Outlander is the perfect SUV for you and yours, you’re getting an incredible car that can keep you and your family going for years to come.
