The Eclipse Cross PHEV is Mitsubishi's smaller plug-in hybrid offering, sitting below the Outlander PHEV in the range. Built on the same dual-motor platform, but in a more compact body, it aims at the urban buyer who wants the PHEV benefit without the size of the seven-seat Outlander.
What you are buying
A 2.4 L petrol four paired with two electric motors (one per axle) for through-the-road AWD. Combined output is around 142 kW. The 13.8 kWh battery gives around 55 km of WLTP electric range, which covers most daily city commutes in EV-only mode.
Cartell Assessment
The Eclipse Cross PHEV is the answer for the buyer who wants a plug-in but does not need three rows. As a city car with weekend road-trip ability, it works. The compromise is the older styling and the cabin tech, which lags behind newer rivals like the Outlander PHEV.
AU Outlook
Eclipse Cross PHEV Exceed pricing in Australia sits in the mid-$60k drive-away range. Cross-shop is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (more space) and the MG HS Plus EV (cheaper). Verify with the Mitsubishi dealer build and price tool.
