Overview

Mitsubishi's plan to become a household name again involves in a SUV-heavy lineup. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a part of the brand's SUV-forward move and resurrects the Eclipse moniker in a compact and sporty offering with a unique design. With a strong list of standard features, the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is also a great value proposition.

What's New for 2019

Not a lot has changed for the 2019 model year. The Eclipse Cross gets roof rails as an option and new gloss black window switch panels as standard for the LE trim. Other than that, the SUV remains the same as the all-new model that came out last year.

Choosing Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

The Eclipse Cross is a style-forward SUV that also puts an emphasis on driving pleasure. To that end, every Eclipse Cross comes with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Power for the motor is rated at 152 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as standard.

Front-wheel drive is standard on the base trim, while higher models are fitted with Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control, which is a fancy way of saying all-wheel drive. Fuel economy for the SUV is rated 26 miles per gallon city, 29 mpg highway, and 27 combine with front-wheel drive.

While the Eclipse Cross has one of the more radical designs in the segment, the blueprint limits the amount of cargo the SUV can hold. Cargo capacity is rated at 22.6 cubic feet behind the second row. Folding the rear seats down increases cargo capacity to 48.9 cubic feet.

Mitsubishi has made its vehicles good value propositions recently, and it's the same case with the Eclipse Cross. The higher up the ladder you go, the better the value proposition gets. The Eclipse Cross is available in four trims:

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

ES

The base Eclipse Cross is the ES trim that costs $24,590 (all prices include the $995 destination fee). Adding all-wheel drive to the ES trim costs $600. Standard exterior features for the ES trim include halogen headlights, fog lights, LED daytime running lights, remote keyless entry, LED taillights, heated exterior mirrors, a rear spoiler, and 16-inch wheels. On the inside, the ES trim comes with a LCD color multi-information display, a six-way adjustable driver's seat, fabric-trimmed seats, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, a seven-inch touchscreen display, a four-speaker audio system, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and two 12-volt power outlets.

The ES trim, and a lot of other models in the Eclipse Cross lineup, have roughly 20 available options to explore. Notable available features include rear parking sensors ($510), roof rails and crossbars ($595), a hood protector ($115), a tonneau cover ($190), front and rear mudguards ($155), the LED interior enhancement package ($290, LED cargo, room, and map lights), the LED illumination package ($375, LED tailgate light, illuminated door sills, blue floor lights), and the Towing Package ($495, tow hitch, a trailer tow wire harness).

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

LE

Stepping up to the LE trim costs $26,190 and adds all-wheel drive, black exterior mirrors with turn indicators, 18-inch black alloy wheels, gloss black window switch panels, a touchpad controller for the seven-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and an S-AWC drive mode selector. The LE trim has the same available features as the base ES trim.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

SE

Pricing for the SE trim starts at $27,690. Standard features over the LE trim include auto on- and off-headlights, power-folding exterior mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, two-tone 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, high-grade fabric seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, Mitsubishi Connection Telematics System, a six-speaker sound system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The LE trim is also the first model in the Eclipse Cross lineup to get blind-spot monitoring, lane change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert as standard. Available features mimic the same ones found on lower trims.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

SEL

At the top of the Eclipse Cross lineup sits the SEL trim, which carries a starting price tag of $29,190. Standard features for the SEL trim over lower models include LED headlights, an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, leather-trimmed seats, a multi-view rear camera, and a head-up display.

The SEL trim is the only Eclipse Cross to offer a major package. The Touring Package ($2,500) includes a power panoramic sunroof, a nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink, and roof rails.

CarsDirect Tip

Mitsubishi shines at making affordable and well-equipped vehicles, which has us recommending the base ES trim. At $24,590, the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross ES is comfortable, reliable, and has a decent list of standard features. It's a lot of car for not a lot of money. If you're looking for more features, the SE is a happy medium between having features and still being affordable.

Bold styling. Forget the bland Outlander and Outlander Sport. The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the brand's latest entry that was introduced last year, marches to a different drummer.

It looks best from the side, sporting a racy roofline, deeply sculpted upper character line, sharp creases around the wheels, and a lower swage line that kicks up just forward of the rear wheel well. The front fascia offers a bold interpretation of the brand's "dynamic shield" grill and, though busy, you won't have a problem finding it amid the expanding sea of look-alike small crossovers.

But that style comes at a price. Head room – especially in sunroof-equipped models – is tight, particularly in back, where only two adults can ride in comfort. Cargo space, at 22.6 cubic feet, is only middling and falls short of the Honda HR-V and Nissan Kicks. In addition, the Pontiac Aztek/Toyota Prius-inspired split rear window looks cool, but it hinders the rear sight line, with the lower glass nearly useless in rain and snow.


Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Value and warranty. At $24,775, the entry-level Eclipse Cross ES offers the usual power features plus alloy wheels, fog lights, LED taillights and running lights, heated outside mirrors, automatic climate control, keyless push-button start, and heated front seats.

It's all covered by a five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. But rivals cost roughly the same, while advanced safety features are missing on the entry-level trim and you have to opt for the top-trim SEL with a pricey option package to get them all.

Smartphone compatibility. The bad news? The infotainment system lacks a volume knob, the infotainment software is unintuitive, and the redundant trackpad is kludgy and distracting. The good news? A 7-inch touchscreen and satellite radio are standard, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability offset a number of the system's weaknesses.

Decent turbo, lackluster CVT. On paper, the 152-horsepower, 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine equals or betters a number of rivals. In the real world, however, it's hampered by portly all-wheel-drive models and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that hesitates when you least need it to.

Final thoughts. The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offers a value proposition (at least in entry trim), a strong warranty, and a dose of style to the small crossover class. But its design comes with compromises: the infotainment system is exasperatingly unintuitive, while the CVT doesn't always play well with the turbo-four.

Looking at the competition, the Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR come with a wider range of standard safety features. The Jeep Renegade, Ford EcoSport, and HR-V, among others, offer more passenger space, while the EcoSport, HR-V, and Kicks feature more cargo space. Finally, if you're interested in style, the Mazda CX-3 is stunning and engaging from any angle.
