![]() ![]() Just keep in mind what I mentioned about what makes the ES model unique. If you want something with unique styling, more power than other compact cuvs that you can take camping and have some fun doing some mild off-roading (better known as soft roading) then get one. It's NOT a sports car, a rock crawler, or something you want to tow with. I would definitely recommend this car to someone who understands what is is. Fingers crossed! Hopefully this transmission won't turn out to be a pile of crap. There are many Outlanders out there approaching 200k on an original cvt which is the same one used in the Eclipse Cross. That being said, for some reason Mitsubishi hasn't had the problems with them others have. They're definitely not known for longevity. It's the same brand used in Nissan and other cars. So, why only 4 stars? It's because of the cvt transmission. You won't blow anybody's mind with speed, but it will pass the people in the slow lane safely, even up hill It's very comparable to our 07 2.5 Automatic Impreza. I find the motor to be zippy and the power more than enough. What's nice though is back rough roads and trails where were always in a low gear ratio I still get over 26. In Eco mode, barely touching the accelerator, I can squeeze 29.8 mpg out of it. You CANNOT get an Eclipse Cross with the electric E-brake and put anything smaller than 17" wheels on it! Smaller diameter wheels won't clear the E-brake mechanism.įuel mileage: Highway mileage is not all that impressive. An Eclipse Cross with 18" wheels and all weather radials would never dream of following us. Remember, I have all terrain tires that I can air down for more traction. Even up on 3 wheels it still keeps going. My wife and I have taken this thing where, in all honesty, we should have had a true 4WD with a rear locker. But I am truly impressed with it's capability. My Eclipse Cross with 215/75/16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires have enough sidewall to actually conform to rough terrain and soften out the bumps.īeing a devoted Subaru fanboy, I really had my doubts about the AWD in this Mitsubishi. If you're going to use this little crossover for anything other than maintained gravel roads or just getting to work in deep snow, you should most likely get the ES. Having 18" rims with … tires that equal rubber bands negatively effects ride quality and all off-road capability. This is important to remember because all of the "expert" reviews I have watched or read always test the more expensive models. All other models have the electric emergency brake and 18" wheels. It's the basic model with a manual hand brake and 16" wheels. It has some very important differences from all the other models. The Touring package, exclusively available for the SEL trim, includes a panoramic sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a premium Rockford Fosgate nine-speaker stereo system, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, automatic high beams, and extra safety features such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.Ī towing package is available for all trim levels, which adds a tow hitch and a wiring harness.įirst of all, this review is for the ES model. The range-topping SEL S-AWC adds full LED headlights, leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a head-up display, and a surround-view parking camera system. It also provides the ability to remotely control climate settings, door locks, horn, lights, vehicle settings, and parental controls from a cellphone. ![]() The SE also comes with Mitsubishi Connect, a subscription that adds an SOS and emergency roadside assistance button and a remote tracker. It gets a bunch of upgrades such as proximity entry with push-button start, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, illuminated vanity mirrors, heated front seats, upgraded fabric upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a six-speaker stereo system, dual-zone climate control, and a rear-seat center armrest. The SP S-AWC is essentially identical to the LE, but it adds a larger rear spoiler and extended airdams for a sportier look. This system also gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite radio, a second USB port and voice controls. The infotainment system is upgraded to a 7-inch screen with a remote touchpad controller mounted near the shift lever. It adds black exterior trim pieces with black 18-inch alloy wheels. Stepping up to the ES S-AWC adds all-wheel drive. Inside, you'll find a height-adjustable driver's seat, 60/40-split folding rear seats that slide and recline, a rearview camera, cruise control, automatic climate control, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a four-speaker sound system.
