Excellent choice of vehicle- 34 MPG HWY!
Mitsufan, 03/12/2022
2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross LE 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
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.
