What is it?
The Eclipse Cross sits between ASX and Outlander in Mitsubishi's Australian range. A 1.5L turbocharged four produces 110 kW and 250 Nm, paired to a CVT with eight stepped ratios. FWD standard, Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) optional on Aspire and standard on Exceed. Four grades from $30,490 to $39,990 plus on-roads. The PHEV variant was discontinued in Australia at the end of 2024, so the current lineup is petrol only. Mitsubishi covers the car with the brand's 5-year warranty extended to 10 years if you service inside the dealer network.
The lineup runs from ES at $30,490 plus on-roads, through to Exceed S-AWC at $39,990 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 10 years, 200,000 km (conditional on Mitsubishi servicing).
