The 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Powertrain
152 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft of torque is produced by the Eclipse Cross’ 1.5L inline-4 engine, which features turbocharging and direct injection for enhanced response and performance. The continuously variable transmission that the motor pairs with helps achieve an EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 29 MPG highway and includes an 8-speed sport mode. Acceleration is prompt, and the powertrain never generates too much noise.
Off-Road Capability
No matter which trims you choose, the Eclipse Cross is equipped with intelligent Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC). This system incorporates years of Mitsubishi’s successful experience in rally racing and makes use of torque vectoring to ensure that optimal traction is available at all times in a variety of environments. It offers three drive modes: snow, gravel, and auto, a balanced mode meant to improve efficiency in normal conditions.
Passenger Cabin
The Eclipse Cross has an airy, attractive interior that offers much more than its sticker price would indicate. Vehicle controls are well laid out and surrounded by stylish silver and black trim. On the base model, the cabin’s five seats feature premium cloth upholstery that will keep passengers nice and cozy during long trips, but genuine leather is available with SEL models. Heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and a heads-up display may also be added.
While front passengers get 40.9 inches of legroom, those seated in the rear have plenty of room to stretch out, as well, with 37.1 inches of legroom. Behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats is a cargo area providing over 23 cubic feet of storage space, which can be expanded to around 50 cubic feet when the seats are down. An available panoramic power sunroof really helps to open up the cabin and provide a terrific view of the sky.
Infotainment
Sitting atop the dash is a 7- or 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system enabling the use of apps like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, or SiriusXM satellite radio. If you’re ever in need of directions in a remote area, the available What3words technology continues to provide navigation with offline maps and a unique system that recognizes three-word combos to help you find specific landmarks.
The available 8-speaker Mitsubishi Power Sound System pumps out clear and booming sound.
When you consider the Eclipse Cross’ long list of great features, you’ll have a hard time believing that it’s available for such an affordable price. Get in touch with DELLA Mitsubishi today and schedule your test drive with the 2023 model!
