The updated Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross compact family car has arrived in South Africa. See specification and pricing details below!

The Eclipse Cross first came to market back in early 2019 and now Mitsubishi welcomes a revised model to market to take on rivals in the compact family car segment. At the time, we tested the Eclipse Cross 1.5 T GLS and the naturally-aspiratedEclipse Cross 2.0.

What’s changed?

The previous split rear windscreen is no more.

The previous iteration of the Eclipse Cross divided opinion with its split rear windscreen and bold lighting design. Now, Mitsubishi has revised the design, incorporating the brand’s familiar ‘Dynamic Shield’ design language seen on the grille design and also features twin-oval headlights for a more sophisticated look. At the rear, the previous split tailgate is no more and the Eclipse Cross now features a more conventional rear design with a hexagonal theme. The rear lights feature a striking 3D Y-shape design. The Eclipse Cross rides on 18-inch alloy wheels.

Standing some 140mm longer than the model it replaces, the Eclipse Cross’ load bay offers a generous 437 litres which expands to 1 074 litres with the split rear seats folded down.

Key interior features include an 8-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio (SDA) system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, Bluetooth and voice control, fully adjustable multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters and electric seats with leather upholstery. A heads-up display is also offered.

Safety features include 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control with traction control, hill start assist, active yaw control and a rear view camera.

What engines are available for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?

Engine choice remains the same with 2 engines on offer to buyers.

A total of 2 derivatives are available to buyers, both being front-wheel-drive and equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
