Mitsubishi South Africa has introduced the Eclipse Cross to the local market. Here's how much the newcomer retails for.

"Eclipse Cross, which surpassed the global sales milestone of 80000 units since its international launch 12 months ago, boasts a coupé-like exterior and is perceived more modern, distinctive, dynamic, advanced and sportier than most of its competitors," says Nic Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa.

The range comprises just 2 models for now and the new Eclipse Cross CVT will be available in 4×2 and all-wheel drive application. Both models feature a 6-speed CVT gearbox with Sports Mode coupled to Mitsubishi's 2.0-litre MIVEC petrol engine. The engine is the proven 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated motor with 110 kW and 198 Nm. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.9 L/100 km and 8.1 L/100 km.
