Excellent choice of vehicle- 34 MPG HWY!
Can't say enough about this vehicle. I'm 6'2 and with the front seat comfortably adjusted for me, I can still fit the back, pus the rear seats recline a bit for a more comfortable sitting position. The 2000 lb towing capacity is nice, I've hauled an open trailer filled with mulch (maybe 800 lb?) and it performed flawless, felt pretty stable throughout the trip- the owners manual does recommend using premium fuel when towing. I did so, and the throttle response seemed better, as well as more power from the engine when accelerating and cruising. The engine is punchy and responsive on regular 87 when not towing and the S-AWC system works tremendously well on dirt and snow covered roads. My fuel mileage has far exceeded what the EPA says I should be getting. Most recent long highway trip netted me 34 mpg from pump-to-pump, hand calculated. The dash indicator showed me getting 34.5, so a little optimistic but not by much. If I had any complaints they'd be these- 1) Factory tires are pretty mediocre, new Continentals made a world of a difference 2) The gloss black plastic inside the cabin scratches if you look at it wrong. Had the exact same thing happen in Lincoln MKZ and Honda Accord, so not unexpected, just annoying. 3) The factory MPG ratings almost turned me away from test driving this vehicle. I don't know what the EPA was thinking when they rated it. Expect 25-27 city, low-to-mid 30's highway. Highly suggest at least test driving it, I really wasn't expecting much and really got blown away with how it performed. So far, I continue to be impressed. Definitely a contender against the RAV4 and the CR-V, which we cross shopped. UPDATE: 15/03/2023 Still performing flawlessly. We've found it does run out of breath a bit on the top end at high highway speeds but for us that's only on long trips and using premium seems to both alleviate it a bit and net better mpg. Otherwise regular 87 is fine for around town. We had the opportunity to tow a friend's powerboat out of a lake on a gravel boat launch last fall and despite weighing near the 2000 lb towing limit of the vehicle, it performed the duty with ease-we did have the 4WD system in gravel mode and it did help compared to leaving it in normal. I'm much more confident now in the event we get our own boat in the future. Our average mpg at the moment is 27.8, which after this past winter with all the snow and cold seems fine. Was still able to get 30 mpg on the highway, but am looking forward to getting up to near mid 30's as weather warms and improves. Still can't recommend this vehicle enough and look forward to it lasting us into the future.

Great little SUV for the money
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.

Love my 2022 Eclipse Cross!!!!
I purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL FWD with the touring package and absolutely love this vehicle! Mitsubishi has modified their target audience and now seems to focus on making smoother, more comfortable vehicles, with fantastic visibility and maneuverability. This vehicle has adaptive cruise control, multi-view camera system, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, front collision mitigation, heated side mirrors, auto-dimming rear view mirror, very comfortable and good-looking heated leather seats, great visibility, great maneuverability, great turning radius, is fun to drive, has decent cargo space, good legroom and headroom, 2 skylights (1 opens, 1 stationary), satellite radio, hd radio, bluetooth connectivity for phones and music players, apple car play & android auto, tastefully tinted back seat windows, rear windows and skylights, and a smooth, comfortable, quiet ride. The Eclipse Cross looks fantastic on the outside and is nice and clean on the inside. The LED headlights are VERY good. The eclipse also has LED fog lights, a feature that several competing manufacturers no longer offer. Acceleration is much better than the critics lead one to believe. While definitely not a racing vehicle, and definitely not as quick as a long gone 4th generation eclipse coupe that went from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, neither are most normal vehicles out on the road. I have a 4th generation eclipse coupe with a 3.8 liter v6 engine so I do have that frame of reference. That said, the eclipse cross does does have some decent torque for merging onto the highway. The eclipse cross is a much nicer vehicle than critics would lead one to believe. I have not had the vehicle long enough to comment on gas mileage, but the car's computer displayed a 31 mpg estimate for a recent highway drive.

2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL
I love my new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL AWD. I purchased this vehicle five days ago. I love it. I’m not sure why some individuals are complaining. I think it’s a very reliable, and easy to maneuver a vehicle. I’m not sure why an individual is complaining on here about the technology and phone system. Nissan recently paired with Mitsubishi for their technology. So with that being said, the Technology that Mitsubishi currently has outranks Nissan. I’m very pleased with my new vehicle, and I look forward in the future to do business with Mitsubishi.

Love this car - Saved my wife's life
I bought the LE model in March and absolutely loved it. It was responsive, comfortable, and was constantly getting comments about how much people admired its appearance. As fate would have it, the one-time my wife was driving it, she was hit head on in a collision that ended up totaling my Eclipse Cross. While the impact was at about 45 mph, the seating compartment remained intact while the front end was totally destroyed. My wife walked away without a scratch. Because it protected the most valuable person in my life, I am purchasing another Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross LE. This will make 4 Mitsubishi's for me.

AC Issues
Leased a 2022 EC right after its release in March of 2021. AC worked fine during the four months of summer. After a long winter I did not use the ac again until the beginning of June and it did not work. It didn't occur to me to test my ac during the winter to see if it was working in order to fix it within the 12mo warranty. Due to working from home I had less than 6K miles on the vehicle. Dealership wanted to charge me $200 for a diagnostic test which I did not do. After much researching, there are numerous complaints about the same problem for this specific year and model. The reason it's significant is because after the release of this new model there was a low number of vehicles imported into this country and Mitsubishi has not done a recall. This is my sixth Mitsubishi and this issue seems to be the result of poor manufacturing.
Love it!!
I purchased a 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 6 weeks ago. I drive anywhere between 45 to 55 minutes to work each way. Love the way it feels and handles the occasional Spring snow. I like the interior because it looks clean and symmetrical. The outside is a definite plus, it looks modern and the white diamond paint sometimes looks light gray in different lighting. I'm 100% satisfied!!

Outstanding new car
We love our new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE. It is very comfortable and handles well. Mitsubishi packs a lot of features in these vehicles for the money. We highly recommend it to people thinking about buying a new car. The fit and finish is excellent. The warranty is the best in the business. If you are a DIY person, all the service points are very easily accessible. Take one for a test drive and you’ll be glad you went past the “other”Japanese or the Korean brands. The dealers will have all kinds of discounts so don’t be bothered by sticker prices. Test one out, you’ll be glad you did.

Great choice
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.

2023 Eclipse Cross SEL 1.5 Turbo S-AWD
I was looking for a mid sizes SUV, test drove Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai, Ford Escape and a few others. But saw this Eclipse Cross 2022 PHEV and almost liked it instantly. Then looked at 2022 new Eclipse Cross on the lot and almost purchased a 2022 SE till the sales person told me that there is a 2023 SEL trim on their lot that had just arrived. Immediately I fell in love with the color Lunar Grey color with the SEL Touring package. Test drive it and liked the drive, handling etc. Harris Mitsubishi in Everett were so professional in the delivery of the vehicle, explanation and the professionalism of the entire staff that I dealt with in making this happen. I think all other vehicles are over priced and with all the bells and whistles in this 2023 1.5 Turbo Charged Engine, it’s worth it and not to mention the 100K miles, 10 year warranty and more, I think this the best that is available. I strongly suggest people I search of a mid sized AWD SUV, to consider Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. Thank you.

after 33,000km ( 20625 m )
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.

Quirks Add Up
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.

Love my 2023 eclipse cross SEL Touring
obsessed. The bad reviews, people don’t know what they are talking about. I’m not a race car driver so I don’t need the car to handle like one when I’m driving my kid to practice and to Kroger. This is such a comfortable ride and looks absolutely stunning. I’m a fan of different vehicles and I don’t see many of these on the road. I actually chose to stay with Mitsubishi because of their safety and reliability. I previously had an outlander sport. The outlanders are gorgeous, I just don’t need that much space. The interior on the SEL is beautiful. Heated steering wheel, heated front and back seats. Most definitely luxury without premium luxury car price. I also love that AWC is now standard. Everyone in Ohio has the same cars and this stands out. Don’t sleep on Mitsubishi and do your homework. They are an extremely safe and reliable brand and they are making some beautiful products. In my opinion if you can upgrade to SEL it’s every bit worth it. The dual sunroof and moonroof is also such a great addition. Go see one in person and take it for a drive, you won’t be disappointed.

Nice little SUV - Depends on your own criteria
10 000km later UPDATE Power barely sufficient. Very quiet ride. Fuel consumption on highway not so bad (32,6 mi./gal with Ecomode on). Excellent traction system (S-AWD, best on the market with Subaru). Interior ok, not more. Very uncomfortable seats. To narrow with unajustable lumbar support. Handling so so and quickly oversteer (from a former Volkswagen driver...). Powerful fog lights. CVT transmission is...well, you dont want to know. As I said, it depends on what you are focusing on when buying a car. For my own part,I like the look and the S-AWD, one of the best on the market if not the best. Otherwise, overall comfort and power are much perfectible and unfortunately, I would not buy again...

Great Car! Under rated by everyone!
I have a 22 EC I believe it’s an SE. regardless I’m not sure what’s up with the negative comments from Edmunds. Weird I’ve been driving since 91 and have had quite a few vehicles in my day. This is my favourite. The handling is actually quite good and if you actually know how ti use the gear paddles on the steering wheel you can get more punch out of the engine when needed. I’ve had zero body roll and the mileage is great for an SUV. It has a lot of tech that’s easy to use. Question: do we actually need all these things? No. We like them but they’re not essential. My two biggest issues is the lack of wireless charging and ventilated back seats. It’s not exactly a small car so I think that’s something that needs addressing. My third issue is the placement of the heater and air conditioning. It’s out if reach for the driver and distracting to use. If it were higher in the stack it would make much better sense. I’m not sure why there’s so much love Hyundai and Kona. Research the recalls on these cars. Countless warranty issues and engine fires galore. Mitsubishi has a much better warranty and they are built like tanks.

Great money for value if you choose correctly
What it lacks in the interior it makes up for with the excellent reliability, good mpg if you don't floor the gas much & great acceleration whenever you floor it compared to most small sized SUV contenders
Poor insterior features and design
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.

Surprisingly pleased.
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.

Fragile car
In under 1 year of ownership, the car started showing issues with the FCM radar. The dashboard keeps displaying that it is temporarily disabled. These types of issues should be already covered by the 10 year warranty, but the mechanic insists that the damage is external when in fact the bumper is intact. Either this car is poorly built or the company is not willing to honor the warranty.

Find a better option
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.

NOT the car for anyone taller/bigger than size S!!
I bought a 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross LE AWD and am beyond disappointed. Please beware of what you're buying!!! Pretty car but made of cheap materials - overall not worth it. Externally the car looks nice but inside it is extremely uncomfortable to drive in. The seats WILL hurt your back. I am three weeks into owning it and the plastic parts of the door handle are now coming off - service center is not even sure if it's covered under warranty. Car is good if you're looking for something to fill your driveway, but I honestly canNOT recommend this vehicle to anyone with kids OR looking for car rides longer than 20 mins. I am tall, wear size L and this car is not made for people my size. Overall very disappointed because I was excited to purchase this after reading all of the positive reviews, so please do your research and don't get scammed with this!

2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
I'm giving this vehicle a 1 star due to the technology. The camera is mediocre at best. The phone system is less far advanced than my 2015 Nissan Rogue. I was never told that in order to use the steering wheel functions you have to plug your phone in? As for the soundsystem, very disappointing.. tin sounding and not as enjoyable as my Nissan. It does however ride nice, looks beautiful with all the cool extras of duel sunroof, spoiler and body. I'd think twice if you think that for a 2022 it be more advanced because it defiantly behind in technology advancement.

Who approved this thing
Experiencing shifting delays, jumping, or grinding during acceleration, feeling the car shake at any speed, noticing a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood, along with an underpowered air conditioner that constantly clicks on and off, suggests that it might fail soon. Additionally, the back seats are too small, and overall, this vehicle seems to be poorly designed.

Shake rattle and roll
This vehicle started every morning over the eight months I drove it and got me to where I wanted to go. otherwise there is precious little good to say about it. It has the acceleration of a peanut falling through honey and the rattling from the back was something to behold. i did like the low gas consumption but otherwise this cheap-feeling SUV really is one to forget.

Waste of money for sure
The car lurches forward at 10:20 and 30 mph jerks back and forth it's brand new with 20,000 miles on it and hasn't towed anything it's a worthless piece of garbage. It has no power what's so ever and when starting from a dead stop it drops the rpm so severely that you really have to step on the gas to get it to move. There are way better suvs out there at a better price.
