Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard equipment	No plug-in hybrid or diesel
Sharp, coupé-like styling	Very small boot
Five-star Euro NCAP safety rating	High running costs

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) is a stylish compact SUV that stands out from the crowd with its sporty, sloping rear end and dramatic crease lines. Named after the original Mitsubishi Eclipse coupé, it promises excitement but delivers a more measured driving experience. The car offers a refined interior with an upmarket feel, generous standard equipment across all trim levels, and a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. However, practicality is compromised by a very tight 341-litre boot space, which lags significantly behind rivals like the Kia Sportage.

Powered solely by a 161bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, the Eclipse Cross achieves 36.2-37.7mpg in manual form and 34.4mpg with the CVT automatic. The absence of diesel or plug-in hybrid options means running costs are higher than many competitors. Mitsubishi ceased UK new car sales in 2021, but dealers continue to offer aftersales support and servicing. As a used purchase, the Eclipse Cross appeals to buyers seeking stylish design, durability, and generous kit, though most compact SUV shoppers will find better-rounded alternatives.

Best for: Buyers prioritising distinctive styling, generous standard equipment, and proven safety credentials, plus those seeking a reliable compact SUV with an upmarket interior.

Not ideal for: High-mileage drivers seeking fuel efficiency, those needing maximum boot space, or buyers wanting diverse engine and powertrain options.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Eclipse Cross if: You prioritise distinctive styling, generous standard equipment, and proven safety credentials, or seek a reliable compact SUV with an upmarket interior.

Consider alternatives if: You're a high-mileage driver seeking fuel efficiency, need maximum boot space, or want diverse engine and powertrain options.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) occupies a niche in the compact SUV market with its striking design and comprehensive standard equipment. However, it struggles against more well-rounded rivals. The Skoda Karoq outperforms it significantly in expert and user ratings, whilst the Peugeot 3008 and Nissan Qashqai offer superior driving dynamics and practicality. The Eclipse Cross's limited engine choice, poor boot space, and higher running costs make it a less compelling proposition than competitors, despite its safety credentials and generous kit. It remains a viable choice for style-conscious buyers, but most will find better value and versatility elsewhere.
