Summary


The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a medium-sized SUV/crossover, unveiled in early 2017 and launched in the UK in early 2018. it sat between the smaller ASX and larger Outlander in the Mitsubishi SUV range until the company withdrew from the UK market altogether in September 2021.

Unlike the other traditionally rugged Mitsubishi SUVs in the family, the Eclipse Cross prioritises style over practicality, and competed against car-based crossovers like the Nissan Qashqai, Renault Kadjar and countless other rivals.

The Eclipse Cross received praise for its sharp styling and general comfort, but was criticised for its driving experience and lack of sophistication compared to the class leaders. The good news is that reliability seems to be pretty good, with the 2022 What Car? reliability survey ranking it as equal first in the family SUV category.

As of May 2024, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross holds a Used Car Expert Rating of D, with a score of 65%. It scores top marks for its low running costs, although its CO2 emissions and safety rating are only average, and its media review scores were poor.
