Overview

The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a bold step from the Japanese manufacturer in the now-expanding crossover segment, albeit in the compact form factor. The styling builds on the bigger Eclipse with sharp edges and a sleek roofline. Under the hood is a turbocharged 1.5L inline-4 which churns out 152 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque and is paired with CVT. The crossover gets S-AWC as standard except for the Base trim. The price range starts at $24,000 and spans four trims.

Buying Advice

The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a perfect balance between performance, practicality, and value. The range is well-priced and the features list is expansive, right from the base trim onwards. The engine is peppy and the gearbox is on-point without compromising on the fuel efficiency, which remains the best on offer. As such, this makes for a perfect offer in the segment.
