Mitsubishi SA has bolstered its local Eclipse Cross compact SUV range with the addition of a range-topping GLS Exceed derivative. Take a look at specs and pricing details here!

This is Mitsubishi’s first product update for 2023 with updates expected across its product range throughout the year.

The updated Eclipse Cross compact family car arrived in South Africa back in 2021 and the range now gains a top-spec GLS Exceed derivative.

The Eclipse Cross GLS Exceed is powered by a 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine with 110 kW and 250 Nm on offer and is mated with an 8-step CVT (with a sports mode).

A 2.0-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine is also available with 110 kW and 198 Nm.

Safety features include 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, active yaw control, brake assist, hill start assist and electronic stability control with traction control. Mitsubishi has now added blind spot monitoring to the package and Mitsubishi Motors Intuitive Technology (MiTEC) which includes an “Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System” which is designed to reduce the chance of front and rear collisions at up to 4 metres should a driver press the accelerator in error when stationary or when travelling at speeds below 10km/h.

Other useful standard features include keyless operation, a rearview camera, head-up display, and a tilt and slide panoramic sunroof.

“We believe that the Eclipse Cross continues to offer a great combination of a sleek, sporty design combined with SUV capabilities and the latest round of refinements go a long way in cementing its position as a vehicle that perfectly embodies what the Mitsubishi brand represents,” says Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).
