Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) Pros and Cons

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

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) is a compact SUV designed to stand out with its sporty, sloping back end and dramatic crease lines, referencing the original Eclipse coupé. Despite its distinctive styling, it doesn't deliver a particularly sporty drive, often lagging behind competitors in dynamics and practicality. While Mitsubishi ceased new car sales in the UK in 2021, existing cars continue to receive aftersales care and warranty support, making it a viable option in the second-hand market.

Interior space offers sufficient rear legroom when the sliding bench is back, but boot space is notably small at 341 litres, even when seats are moved forward. Driving is neat but not particularly rewarding, with a firm low-speed ride. It features a single 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, available with a manual or CVT automatic gearbox (front- or four-wheel drive). Standard equipment is generous, even on base models, including a 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. However, running costs are higher than many rivals due to the lack of diesel or plug-in hybrid options, with official fuel economy ranging from 32.5mpg to 37.7mpg.

Best for: Drivers seeking distinctive coupe-like styling, generous standard equipment, and Mitsubishi's reputation for reliability.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising class-leading practicality, dynamic driving, a comfortable low-speed ride, or better fuel economy from a wider range of engine options.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Eclipse Cross if: You're seeking distinctive coupe-like styling, generous standard equipment, or appreciate Mitsubishi's reputation for durability and reliability.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise class-leading practicality, dynamic driving, a comfortable low-speed ride, or better fuel economy from a wider range of engine options.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2020) is a distinctive contender in the crowded compact SUV market, offering unique styling and generous standard equipment. However, it trails rivals like the Skoda Karoq and Peugeot 3008 in driving dynamics, low-speed ride comfort, and practicality due to its small boot. Its single, relatively thirsty petrol engine and lack of hybrid/diesel options further limit its appeal compared to more versatile and efficient alternatives, making it a choice for buyers prioritising looks and features over ultimate refinement or running costs.
