Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cars

What types of used Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cars are there?

After seeing many other carmakers start making mid-sized family SUVs, Mitsubishi decided to give it a go and created the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

This is based on the same platform as the Outlander SUV but offers an almost coupé-like body shape – it’s a trendy and sporty-looking model and appeals to a growing audience of coupé-SUV fans.

A few trim levels are available, and high-spec models come with car tech you might expect on more expensive cars, like a 360-degree parking camera, adaptive cruise control and a host of clever safety features.

What features does the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross have?

All cars come with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard – it runs very smoothly and is easy to use.

The reason no models come with an in-built sat nav is because Mitsubishi says its customers are more likely to use their smartphone’s maps, which is why all models feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Some of the higher trim levels get things like adaptive cruise control (automatics only), LED headlights, a 360-degree parking camera, a head-up display and heated seats.

Aside from tech, there is plenty of room to seat five people comfortably and the 448-litre boot is ample in a car of this size, too.

Is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross reliable?

For years, Mitsubishi has been famed for its reliability and solid build quality, so you shouldn’t worry when looking to buy an Eclipse Cross. Additionally, the Japanese car brand ranks highly among recognised consumer surveys and even sits ahead of companies such as Ford and Vauxhall.

How much does the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cost to run?

A used Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will come with a 1.5-litre petrol engine. It’s a good middle ground, balancing performance and efficiency, but some other cars have more economical engines. Watch out for the automatics and 4x4 models, which tend to be slightly less efficient.

Who is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross suitable for?

A used Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross for sale is a less obvious choice for a family SUV, so you can stand out without having to break the bank.

Its main rivals include the similarly sporty-looking Toyota C-HR, the equally affordable MG HS and the slightly smaller Subaru XV.
