Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross updates and facelifts

Launched in 2017, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross received a facelift in 2021, which made some subtle design changes. These included a redesigned front bumper and grille, and the rear windscreen was made larger, increasing visibility. Inside, the seven-inch infotainment screen was replaced with an eight-inch screen and some digital dials were added to the instrument cluster.

Practicality and style of the car

Passengers have a good amount of comfort in the Eclipse Cross with plenty of legroom and headroom available. Rear passengers can alter the amount of space they have depending on the need for boot space by sliding the rear bench backwards or forwards. The driver and front passenger sit up high, giving them good visibility of the road ahead. Seats in both the front and rear of the vehicle provide a good amount of support to passengers, helping to make long journeys comfortable.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a boot size of 341 litres, which can be increased to 448 litres by using the sliding rear bench. By folding down the rear seats, the boot can be expanded even further to 1,140 litres. With the rear bench forward, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has more capacity than the Toyota C-HR, which has a 377-litre boot. When expanded, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross closely rivals the Toyota C-HR’s 1,660 litres, giving owners plenty of space to store luggage and suitcases.

The boot opens wide and has a large, flat loading bay with a small loading lip. This makes loading and unloading heavy items easy. For larger items, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross can tow up to 1,600kg, which is enough to tow a trailer or caravan.

Running costs

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross falls into insurance groups 18 to 21 and has an annual road tax of £180. In comparison to its rivals, most Eclipse Crosses occupy a lower insurance group bracket. The Nissan Qashqai falls between groups 11 to 50 and the Volkswagen Tiguan falls between groups 11 to 36.

Features you can expect in a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Interior

The interior of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is well designed and is furnished with good-quality materials. Storage spaces are located around the car to keep the cabin clutter-free. There is a good-sized glovebox, cup holder and a cubby located in the front of the centre console. Useful for storing personal items such as smartphones or keys. In the rear, there are a pair of map pockets on the back of the front seats which can be used to stow away entertainment devices. Door bins are also a good size and can hold large water bottles or other personal items.

At the top of the dashboard sits the infotainment screen. In variants before 2021, it has a seven-inch screen and after 2021 an eight-inch screen. Infotainment is controlled via the touchscreen interface as well as through the touch-sensitive pad located on the centre console. There are multifunctional controls located on the steering wheel, so drivers don’t have to take their hands off the wheel. Navigating the menu is easy and the clear graphics help to make it even more intuitive to use.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard on the Eclipse Cross allowing drivers to access their personal music libraries, contact books and navigation applications from their smartphone. A DAB radio and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity also come as standard, providing the driver with extra onboard entertainment and functionality.

Located below the infotainment screen and air vents are the controls for the single-zone or dual-zone climate control and, on the 3 trim and above, there are heated front seats. Climate control is adjusted using a set of physical controls and dials on the dashboard.

Technology

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has several technological features to assist the driver. Lane departure warning and lane keep assist are helpful on the motorway. Lane departure warnings alert the driver of any vehicles adjacent to the car when changing lanes to avoid a collision. Lane-keep assist helps to keep the vehicle in the centre of the lane. Mitsubishi’s Active Yaw Brake Control helps to prevent the car from oversteering when turning a corner by varying the braking force applied to the front wheels.

Other features include adaptive cruise control, which comes on models with an attached CVT gearbox. This helps the car maintain a safe distance from the car in front and can also adjust the speed of the vehicle when it encounters traffic. A 360-degree parking camera comes with the 4 trim and above, while front and rear parking sensors are available on the 3 trim and above. Auto wipers, auto lights and keyless entry and start also feature on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

Safety

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross scored a full five stars on the Euro NCAP safety tests. The Eclipse Cross also scored well on adult and child occupant protection tests scoring 97% and 78% respectively. For adult protection scores, the Eclipse Cross outscored most of its rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai, which scored 91%, and the Peugeot 3008, which scored 86%. For child protection scores, the Eclipse Cross scored higher than the Toyota C-HR, which was awarded 77%.

Safety features on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross include seven airbags located around the front and rear cabin and two ISOFIX points in the outermost rear seats. Blind spot monitoring and warning alerts drivers of vehicles or cyclists in the blind spots of the vehicle. Autonomous emergency braking comes as standard on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
