2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross ES 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
49 of 49 people found this review helpful
First of all, this review is for the ES model. It has some very important differences from all the other models. It's the basic model with a manual hand brake and 16" wheels. All other models have the electric emergency brake and 18" wheels. This is important to remember because all of the "expert" reviews I have watched or read always test the more expensive models. Having 18" rims with tires that equal rubber bands negatively effects ride quality and all off-road capability. If you're going to use this little crossover for anything other than maintained gravel roads or just getting to work in deep snow, you should most likely get the ES. My Eclipse Cross with 215/75/16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires have enough sidewall to actually conform to rough terrain and soften out the bumps. Being a devoted Subaru fanboy, I really had my doubts about the AWD in this Mitsubishi. But I am truly impressed with it's capability. My wife and I have taken this thing where, in all honesty, we should have had a true 4WD with a rear locker. Even up on 3 wheels it still keeps going. Remember, I have all terrain tires that I can air down for more traction. An Eclipse Cross with 18" wheels and all weather radials would never dream of following us. You CANNOT get an Eclipse Cross with the electric E-brake and put anything smaller than 17" wheels on it! Smaller diameter wheels won't clear the E-brake mechanism. Fuel mileage: Highway mileage is not all that impressive. In Eco mode, barely touching the accelerator, I can squeeze 29.8 mpg out of it. What's nice though is back rough roads and trails where were always in a low gear ratio I still get over 26. I find the motor to be zippy and the power more than enough. It's very comparable to our 07 2.5 Automatic Impreza. You won't blow anybody's mind with speed, but it will pass the people in the slow lane safely, even up hill So, why only 4 stars? It's because of the cvt transmission. It's the same brand used in Nissan and other cars. They're definitely not known for longevity. That being said, for some reason Mitsubishi hasn't had the problems with them others have. There are many Outlanders out there approaching 200k on an original cvt which is the same one used in the Eclipse Cross. Fingers crossed! Hopefully this transmission won't turn out to be a pile of crap. I would definitely recommend this car to someone who understands what is is. It's NOT a sports car, a rock crawler, or something you want to tow with. If you want something with unique styling, more power than other compact cuvs that you can take camping and have some fun doing some mild off-roading (better known as soft roading) then get one. Just keep in mind what I mentioned about what makes the ES model unique.

2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross LE 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
35 of 36 people found this review helpful
I just bought this SUV in the beginning of July so I had it for about 2 months now. The first thing your gonna notice is how sexy this thing looks depending on the color you get. I have the metallic gray and is shines just like the diamond red. The vehicle has nice black accents and black 18” alloy wheels. It also has tinted privacy glass on the back passenger windows. The performance is really good and the engine is pretty powerful together with the CVT transmission. The interior looks very nice and the seats are comfortable enough for longer trips. The back passenger seats recline and can be adjusted just right for child seats. They also fold down to the point you can put boxes and other wide items through the back and sides. All doors open wide and you get a lot of standard safety features that other expensive SUVs don’t. Apple car play and Android Auto is nice including a trackpad for navigating the 7” display up front. My only complaints is the way the vehicle turns sharp corners which has a little more lean then what I’m used to. Maybe it’s just me coming from a Lancer, but I would take it easy on the turns. The back window is split which gets in the way when you look through the rear view mirror, but you do get a backup camera so thank Mitsubishi for that! I would have liked some buttons for navigating the touchscreen but I guess that’s where these companies are going. I got used to it but I don’t know how old school people will react to it. There are 2 more trims levels above the LE but I feel for the price that I paid, I should have gotten heated seats and a sunroof. Other than that it’s very sporty, roomy, and good on gas so I feel like a made a good decision overall. I will do another updated review in the coming months if anything changes.

2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross LE 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
50 of 53 people found this review helpful
A YEAR AFTER OWNERSHIP UPDATE: I still love my Eclipse Cross LE so very much. I'm still finding new, exciting things out about this vehicle. Lately, I've been really seeing what it's AWD system can do in gravel setting, and testing out the ECO mode to see how good of gas mileage I can get...while the MPG on sticker is 25/26, just today, while in Gravel, ECO mode I got 34 mpg! Not bad at all! I'm still having a blast with my Eclipse Cross and still think the value holds up. ORIGINAL REVIEW: The single most important thing I have to say: ignore the "pro" reviews, read the owner reviews and GO DRIVE ONE. I bought my 2020 Eclipse Cross LE AWD this July, but I had been researching my next car purchase for about two years. I had a budget in mind, and coming off several New England winters in a Nissan Versa, all wheel drive/four wheel drive was a must. I began looking into the crossover market and came up with a top three to go drive, look into and make a decision based on. Let the record show: if I had just based my decision with the pro reviews, I would have never purchased this great little ride. I couldn't be happier with my decision to go against the grain, and purchase my first brand new vehicle with Mitsubishi. There really isn't much I don't love about my EC. I agree with the previous reviewer in that this is a great entry level step into the crossover/SUV market, coming off a smaller car and into something larger. Everything about the driving experience is easy to navigate, handling both winding stretches of highway and tight city streets with ease. It was a very easy transition for me to move from the cramped Versa and into the Eclipse Cross, but it certainly feels like a tremendous step up, in terms of speed, looks and size. I find it comfortable for me and my family, and it really does stand up to any task I put it to, whether it's commuting to work or family trips or carting around the groceries. I also plan to have the tow package installed to carry my band gear from gig to gig. While the tow capacity is only 1500 lbs, that will be perfect to get me and my band from one show to the next with all of our gear. Last, my favorite thing about this ride: the quality to cost ratio. It is my belief that the bad reputation of the manufacturer that translates into great savings to the buyer. A frequent complaint in reviews I read is that the sticker price is too high in comparison to bigger, more well known brands. Maybe so, but this is a brand that is motivated to sell some vehicles and as such, they offer great discounts. I paid 5k off sticker for an exceptionally equipped SUV! With a decent down payment and good credit, I am paying less than 300 dollars a month for a GORGEOUS ride with tons of bells and whistles! Oh. And the best warranty in the business (tied with Hyundai and Kia, but they just recalled 600k vehicles for engine fires, so no thanks) at 5 years/60k bumper-to-bumper and 10 years/100k powertrain warranty to back it all up. I fully recommend given the EC a shot. It is unfair to compare it to a sports car from twenty years ago, which I guess was Mitsubishi's biggest mistake in the marketing of this vehicle. It's not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a good looking, affordable, versatile and dependable SUV. I've driven it through a foot of snow, I've driven it through bumper to bumper traffic. Either way, it does a good job every time. Don't let the bad rep dissuade you if you're in the market for a crossover. There is a reason I choose this over Honda and Subaru. I implore you to go find out.

Just took delivery of our Mitsu Eclipse Cross last evening & literally drove the balls off this car today . Overall looks are great ...ride comfort more than adequate . No issue with interior room or layout... just some of the touch sensitive display & pad bit of a learning curve as i am " old school ". Performance seemed more than adequate , seeing we took this unit on a jaunt up & over the mountains where we live { south west p.a. } over to Maryland 's Deep Creek area & back . No issues pulling the mountainous terrain , just keep it in the torque curve. Turbo gives ya more umph when one needs it ! IDK, read reviews where the handling on this unit is sub par...i had no issues pushing this car through turns on the back roads under power while counter steering slightly . Braking felt really good , evem under hard application coming down grades . The CVT Trans is a bit of a learning curve .. seems like it's " hunting " at times . Little noisy at hi way speeds ....can hear engine noise .....nothing i can't live with . and the pricing we got from the dealer , couldn't pass this unit up . Take into account that i am a retired ASE Certified tech with 30+ years under my belt...so this is an old car guy reviewing this unit .

A great little SUV Ignore the so called Experts

2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
19 of 20 people found this review helpful
I was leary of test driving the Eclipse Cross after reading all the so called expert reviews that trashed this car. Most of them seem to not be able to get over the fact that its called Eclipse Cross, some reviewers even said they would probably like it better if it was called something else. Really? My other car is a 2015 CTSV that was my dream car when I bought it. I kept my 2011 Outlander I had at the time as a run around car and from the second I decided to sell that car, then did so several months back I missed having an SUV. Love, love, love my Cadillac but the best car for a daily driver it is not as is so fun to drive that the gas mileage sucks. So decided I was going to buy another Outlander so off to the dealer I went. I always liked the look of the Eclipse Cross (except the straight on back end view, buts its grown on me) but it wasn't even on my radar because of the negative "expert reviews". When I got to the dealer they had about 15 leftover EC sitting there all shined up with a big discounts sitting on the windshield. I decided to test drive both the Outlander and the Cross and I was really suprised with the EC....ended up buying a Black SEL and got 8600 off the sticker. It is smooth, quiet, fairly roomy and gets great gas mileage. I took in on a 2500 mile trip a few weeks after I bought it and got 28-29 MPG running 75-80 with the AC running. The safety tech works perfectly, better than my Cadillacs, love the bronze stitching on the leather. It's not a powerhouse, and yes it could use another 20-30HP...but its not as slow as the "Experts" and is peppy enough get out of its own way. (my CTSV has 556hp so I know what power is) In fact on my trip i took there is a stretch of road outside Wytheville VA that is a steep incline for about 6-7 miles going into the mountains and this car handles it like a pro no issues holding 75 MPH and just flow by the other cars. It handles well, the steering does not have alot of feel but has enough weight and it really sticks to the road with the AWD. OK the CVT is...well a CVT...my outlander had one and it was fine. At least this one has some fake shifts built so it mimics a normal auto a bit better. I would love for Mitsubishi do to a Ralliart version, add some more horsepower and put in their dual clutch. But as it stands for the price I paid it is a really good smaIl SUV that if like the Outlander will be bullet proof in its reliability and that I would recommend and buy again in a heart beat.

I have had nothing but Kia since 2008. I wanted an AWD SUV for the upcoming winter after being in an Optima for the last 2 winters. Saw an Eclipse Cross on the road and decided to go check it out. Roomy interior that looks really nice and is comfortable. Handles well and feels pretty peppy to me. Overall I am very happy with it.

A good small SUV. The ride is actually not as bad as advertised. I drove the care on mountain highway, and it held up pretty well, no rolling. I enjoy driving this vehicle. Front seats are very comfortable, and mold well to my body. Rear seats are sort of raised, and comfy as well. Visibility is good, although split rear windsheald / window take some adjusting to. I like the design of the vehicle. Quality of the materials used is above average. Small 1.5 litre turbo engine is peppy. It is not super fast and powerful engine, but it is more than enough. Overall, a great vehicle from Mitsubishi, and definitely an upgrade from RVR.

Love this car we bought 1 year ago, however, there are some features that you would think would be included with its vehicle as most cars get these as standard. 1. auto-lock when your driving 5mph or more 2. light in the glove box 3. button to open tailgate 4. lights on the bottom of the doors 5. Bluetooth while on phone only comes out of 1 speaker 6. Ride is rough If this SUV had the above I would have given a 5 star. We do like this SUV a lot. I would recommend buying.

Poor back visibility ( design of the tail gate windows ), suspension is a bit unstable a high speed ( 110km/h, 70 mp/h ) when going over a bump. comfortable ( i'm 6'1'', 225 lbs ) good fuel economy, enough power ( not a race car ), works good in the Québec snow. good warranty. No visit at the dealer needed after 33,000 km ( 20625 m ) absolutly no problem with my little suv. Good car for the money.

At first glance this is a relatively attractive and well priced vehicle in its class. Lots of creature comforts and a strong suite of safety features on the upper trim levels. Then you drive it for awhile, and start to feel annoyed. Whether it is the cheap and tin like sounds the doors make upon closing, the grinding effort of opening the gas hatch, the road manners, the lack of dampening of road imperfections, or simply the near impossible task of opening windows using control buttons hidden behind an unnecessary door bar, the vehicle grinds the joy out of your purchase choice. For the love of all that is holy you can't even quickly mute the radio! You have to dial it down or up using the mouse pad behind the shifter or the steering wheel controls! The vehicle also has a terrible highway speed 'shimmy' at about 110km/h. I do not recommend this vehicle, and would suggest considering a RAV4 if money is not a concern, or the Mazda CX3.

I bought a little over a year and ago and it’s already having transmission issues. It starts out my just a little jerking. Had transmission flushed n new put in. The issue persisted and now my car won’t move in drive or reverse. So now I’m going to have to put a lot of money into a car I bought 1 1/2 ago with 12,000 miles on it. I bought it used and it had not been in a accident as I was told. I. Can’t just take it in and get something else because I will flip way too much over. I’m so aggravated I will never buy a Mitsubishi again and will not recommend to anyone.

I recently rented a newer Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and was disappointed. The seat is not comfortable. The extra glass in the hatchback style makes your vision distorted as the two glass windows are separated by a partition and you see partial cars in the rear view. The radio and backup camera screen is placed so high and it protrudes so much out that you always see reflection of light/sun during daylight hours, making it almost impossible to see anything on the screen. Also the letters and numbers on screen are so DIM, you cant see them clearly. When you turn AC on, there is no light you have to see a symbol at another place to see if AC is on. Overall a foolish interior design. The steering wheel is super sensitive and you would be swerving if you are not holding it tight all the time.

I got the 2020 Eclipse SE 2WD Model 6 months ago. Acceleration is ok around town; the CVT hampers drivability on take offs, but if you give it the "beans" it will respond appropriately. Power delivery is very good on the highway; throttle input on speeds over 50 MPH are generally swift. Vehicle stability is compromised during gusty winds on the highway; frequent steering corrections are needed. In the city, however, it's very nimble has a very easy driving nature; highly recommended for drivers whom are afraid (or lack the skills) to drive big vehicles. Handling is direct and secure but cornering comes with lots of body roll. Suspension set up its a mixed bag, the springs are overly soft but the shock-absorbers are very stiff making it "crash" on even moderate-size bumps. Interior space is adequate for the size of the vehicle; I found the construction materials to be very pleasant for a mainstream vehicle. I'm averaging 27 MPG on a 60% highway/40% city driving. Out the lot price for my SE 2WD trim was $24,500 with a generous Mitsubishi warranty. Dealership maintenance on these vehicles are dirty-cheap too.

There is not enough leg room, front seats go as far back as possible but I need more leg room. I still drive my 2010 Galant which gives me plenty of leg space plus space in the rear if I choose to sit while being chauffeured by my grand children but I still need higher car without going to Outlander Sport. Maybe next year you will give more leg room, other options are great including extra UB plugs in rear per my 10 years old granddaughter.

I came from an '03 Kia Rio hatchback. Always having issues with it, so when the time came to get a new car, it was either this or a Jeep Compass. I checked the feature list on both, and a higher trim model with more features matched the base price on the Jeep. It felt like a no brainer to me. I don't really understand what the official reviewers mean by the car not handling well, it feels like a dream to me. Remember, I came from a cheap Kia, though, so possibly anything is an upgrade. But the space is amazing, the power's great, and I tend to get 40+ MPG on the highway when I drive. Maybe I'm nicer on the accelerator than most... anyway, I think I'll be keeping this car until it disintegrates!

I purchased one of these as my first BRAND NEW vehicle. Initially Seeing this car I noticed it was very attractive. I got the Mercury Gray Metallic color. I got the SE trim because it seemed to have many features without the big price tag. The paint is not the best and chips easy on the hood. I've gotten used to the CVT and fake shifts. One thing I have noticed is that if you go over a bump the car revs up high and tries to find out what happened. It's kind of annoying. I wish LED headlights were standard. The lines on the reverse camera don't move which is annoying. Overall 4/5 satisfaction for me.

Has a lot more spunk/acceleration than other SUV's of this class test driven. Rides more like a car than the harshness of other's in this class. Is comfortable to drive, the arrangement of rear windows is a little odd but ok. I dispute claims of this SUV's driveability and ride on rough roads and outside noise. Has ride more to an auto than SUV, which most others test driven are harsh and stiff, for stability and handling they claim. Front seat room is very good and rear passenger seating is on par with all others tested. All in all seems to be the best SUV value for my money, styling is a little out there, but price I paid overrides those concerns.

First I dont want to get the wrong impression off that I'm completely bashing this ride. But here it goes. I truly believe all of us can attest that cars are not made like they was. They rattle more now... bend more and cry more. With that said it's to be expected that the intro year of bringing back the eclipse name will have some faults. I recently bought a 18 eclipse cross with 15,000 miles on it. I told myself 3 days later I should of kept my tacoma. It was pouring raining... I worked the 3rd the night before and was tired of being at the dealership (who really handled my whole sale completely wrong) Greer Mitsubishi is the name by the way. I will never go back there. But this car is nice. It just feels real cheap. The mind numbing cvt transmission is real sluggish taking off. There is alot of body roll in corners. Plastic everywhere. The driver seat makes noise. The door squeaks opening up. It could be a salvage for all I know that's how bad the dealership is. The sound system sounds blown or it could be just too weak. Mind you a 2 year old vehicle with only 15,000 miles should NOT be already showing heavy signs of wear and tear. It's time car makers be held responsible for what they are making these days. Money is tight for most of us. And the economy is tuff in these years. What happen to taking pride in building a reliable vehicle? Hey Mitsubishi... just a thought... dont put a sports car name on a power wheels car. And also Mitsubishi... may I say too... how about you drive the car your making for 10 to 15 years like most of us has too and see how much in love you'll still be with that oh so "amazing" cvt and sexy styling. I rest my case.

I bought this car in September. I thought it was really cute and the diamond red gorgeous, but what I really liked about it the way the rear looked, turned out to be annoying. That bar that goes across the back is annoying when you look through your rear view mirror. What I really don’t like about it is the acceleration. I do a lot of highway driving and 0-65 takes forever. It is like molasses running uphill on a cold winter morning. Also, it cannot hold its speed. Maybe because I live in the mountains, but if you let up on the gas pedal just a little and your speed drops. Drives me crazy. I don’t like Apple play. I prefer the old navigation map, plus you have to use data and you are constantly losing the internet. Again that may be the mountains , but I never had to deal with that with the old navigation. Let’s just say I am already looking for a new car which is why I am on this site.

self reeving and ticking from engine

I only had this SUV for 5 months and I'm hearing a ticking sound coming from the engine and while in park the car revs on its own. I called the dealership and was told that it maybe due to bad fuel (only concern is that this dealership has a habit of lying just to get the money). I tend to go to the same gas station when its time to fill up

I recently rented a 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with 7K on the clock. The vehicle I originally rented was not available so I was "upgraded" to the Mitsu. The upgrade included the following: a blind spot that covers an entire city block, a seat that adjusts every direction except the correct one, a view screen that was too bright at night but at least during the day was not visible due to the sun angles, window controls you need an atlas to find, the rattle of the interior plastics at times would drown out the rattle coming from the engine. I never did get to experience the lauded AWD. The experience of driving this machine made me dearly miss my 2005 Scion Xa. If you choose to purchase this vehicle I would recommend an extended warranty; as I feel reliability issues will be in your future.

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada where winter temperatures go as low as -50. The Eclipse Cross SEL never disappoints,it starts in the frigid temperature even if I do not plug the block heater. Satisfied with this SUV.

I've driven a number of different SUV's and this one not only quietly holds more cargo than some of the mid-sized SUVs, but it looks pretty stylish on the inside and outside. I'm not sure where the issues people have in terms of comfort are coming from - I live in Massachusetts where potholes are plentiful and I never had an issue with a smooth ride. If you need more space than a sedan but don't want the gas mileage of a large SUV, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the Cross!

This car is loaded I have the SEl with the touring package. But the keyless remote does not open and close the lift gate. This is a feature which I thought was standard but it is not even there in the top of the line model. And it is considered as a SUV!!!! What is more frustrating is that the outlander has this function. Mitsubishi need to provide a solution of this. and I mean ASAP. It is not only a safety. But could create problems for them if someone gets jammed.

Been driving my 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross for 3 weeks now and I love it. Smooth ride, good safety features, like blind spot and lane change assist. Overall I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this SUV to anyone hesitant on purchasing one.

Great gas mileage, but drives like a forklift.

Stearing is insanely loose, or so it makes you think. It doesn't have drive by wire yet acts like it. Thats due to no vacuum boost or hydraulic assisted rack and pinion stearing. It actually has some electric torque compensation system that is realy badly overbearing. Usually over compensating. One would think that gas mileage would be better as you go faster, not so. Highway mileage is actually lower than 35 to 45 mph normal driving. Average 25 MPG, and really doesn't go up ir down much from there. On snowy roads, a 9 to 10 put of 10. Handled well. My drivers seat has been foing something really weird, and may be part of a safety restraint system. If I lean back and put a little extra weight on the seat back, it flop all the way back. So don't go for your wallet, and try to put it back while your in drive. Interior kind of cramped, but I am used to pick up trucks. One thing you will notice is driver and passenger fighting for the itsy bitsy center console. So, unless you under 5' tall, skinny to average weight. I wouldn't recommend this for long drives. Seat cushions better than most. Once had a Chevy Malibu, and a Hyundai Sonata, and beter than those. Both of gjose msde my back hurt.
