The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is an all-new small SUV with seating for five that offers a ton of available features. To start, a new infotainment system with both a remote touchpad controller and a touchscreen interface, a head-up display, and a full suite of available driver aids and active safety features come on higher trim levels or are offered as options.
Only one engine is available, a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder making 152 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and it's mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All trim levels come with standard all-wheel drive except for the base ES trim, which has front-wheel drive.
Base equipment for the Eclipse Cross includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, foglights, and heated side mirrors. Inside, it comes with a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat and a four-way passenger seat, 60/40-split folding rear seats that slide and recline, a rearview camera, cruise control, automatic climate control, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen with HD radio, Bluetooth streaming, USB connectivity, and a four-speaker stereo system.
Moving up through the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross trim levels adds all sorts of extra goodies, such as 18-inch wheels, proximity entry with push-button start, dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, a six-way power driver's seat, and a surround-view camera system. Infotainment on higher trims is handled by the 7-inch touchscreen with remote touchpad controller, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, satellite radio and voice controls.
Midlevel Eclipse Cross trims get basic active safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The full suite of driver aids and safety features — including adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation and lane keeping assist — is only available as part of an option package on the top trim.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross slots in between subcompact and compact SUVs, with greater cargo space and interior room than subcompacts offer but not as accommodating as compacts. A towing package is available for all trim levels, which adds a tow hitch and a wiring harness.
