Edmunds' Expert Review

- Provides lots of standard features
- Peppy performance from turbocharged engine
- Easy-to-use infotainment system
- Ride quality is a bit rough
- Poor handling makes twisty roads a chore
- Top trim level priced similarly to more refined competitors
- No significant changes this year
- Part of the first Eclipse Cross generation introduced for 2018
The Eclipse Cross surprised us a bit when it debuted last year. Here's a crossover SUV with a peppy engine, an easy-to-use infotainment system, and very strong value for the money in terms of available features. Unfortunately, it's hampered by a deeply subpar suspension that hurts ride quality and handling, making the small crossover a chore on anything but smooth, straight pavement. It's also not the most practical option if you need an SUV to carry lots of stuff.
Depending on what you need and want from a small crossover, and the size of your budget, the Eclipse Cross can make a case for itself, offering more standard features in lower trim levels than competitors. But there's a reason the Eclipse Cross falls relatively low in our rankings since many competitors offer significantly more refinement, comfort and utility.

2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross models
The 2019 Eclipse Cross is a small SUV with seating for five that comes in five trim levels, starting with the bare-bones ES and moving up to the well-equipped SEL S-AWC. Only one engine is available: a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder (152 horsepower, 184 pound-feet of torque) that's connected to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is standard on all but the base ES trim, which is front-wheel-drive.
Standard equipment on the ES trim includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, foglights, and heated side mirrors. Inside, you'll find a height-adjustable driver's seat, 60/40-split folding rear seats that slide and recline, a rearview camera, cruise control, automatic climate control, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a four-speaker sound system. Stepping up to the ES S-AWC adds all-wheel drive.
Next up is the LE S-AWC. It adds black exterior trim pieces with black 18-inch alloy wheels. The infotainment system is upgraded to a 7-inch screen with a remote touchpad controller mounted near the shift lever. This system also gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, a second USB port and voice controls.
The SP S-AWC is essentially identical to the LE, but it adds a larger rear spoiler and extended airdams for a sportier look.
Our favorite of the mix is the SE S-AWC. It gets a bunch of upgrades such as proximity entry with push-button start, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, illuminated vanity mirrors, heated front seats, upgraded fabric upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a six-speaker stereo system, dual-zone climate control, and a rear-seat center armrest. The SE also comes with Mitsubishi Connect, a subscription that adds an SOS and emergency roadside assistance button and a remote tracker. It also provides the ability to remotely control climate settings, door locks, horn, lights, vehicle settings, and parental controls from a cellphone.
The range-topping SEL S-AWC adds full LED headlights, leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a head-up display, and a surround-view parking camera system. The Touring package, exclusively available for the SEL trim, includes a panoramic sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a premium Rockford Fosgate nine-speaker stereo system, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, automatic high beams, and extra safety features such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.
A towing package is available for all trim levels, which adds a tow hitch and a wiring harness.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
