Uniquely outward-angled bright trim pieces bracket the directional and fog lamps, flanking a lower dark grille panel separated by a body-colored finish piece just above a bottom metal finishing diffuser. Forward is a two-plane Black mesh upper grille section that connects to the upswept, wrap-around headlamps. The overall design displays a more aggressive and youthfiul image that the rest of the Mitsubishi family, with sharply angled and sculpted lines. All models have Electric Power Steering, and the towing capacity for all trim levels is 1,500 pounds. Energy is transmitted to either the front wheels, in the case of the ES model, or to all four with Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) in all other trims via an 8-speed CVT with a Sport mode and paddle shifters. Mitsubishi’s latest association is with Renault/Nissan.īy no means a compact sport liftback, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross continues as an aggressively styled and sporty five passenger Crossover that is available in four levels of trim: a base ES 1.5T an LE 1.5T an SE 1.5T and the top-of-the-line SEL 1.5T each available in either 2WD or S-AWC (Super AllWheel Control).Īll are powered by a transversely front mounted 1.5-liter L4 MIVEC DOHC, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with Direct Injection that produces 152 horsepower and 184 pound feet of torque. Ignoring the concept of paying homage to brand equity, Mitsubishi, who no longer had anything to do with what was Chrysler (now operating as FCA for Fiat, Chrysler automobiles) decided to add another model to their product line – an all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross for the 2018 model year, a small Crossover or SUV that fell nicely between their larger Outlander and smaller Outlander Sport SUVs. The joint venture was known as Diamond Star Motors and vehicles were produced in a plant in central Illinois and were sold under Mitsubishi, Chrysler, Dodge, and Eagle and Plymouth brand names. It was originally only a two-door liftback coupe body style until a two-door convertible was added to the lineup In 1996. Four generations of the Eclipse were produced from 1989 to 2011. “Iconic Name continues for Sporty Crossover”įor those who may not remember, the Mitsubishi Eclipse first appeared on the automotive scene as a pretty well thought of compact sports car built through a joint venture, that was formed between Mitsubishi Motors and the Chrysler Corporation. 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL 1.5T S-AWC
