Mitsubishi has a fantastic AWD system that's fairly complex and as good as anyone's. That's not the problem with them. The problem is the rest of the vehicle. The outdated platform that's plagued with some of the worst cars ever made, the poor reliability of the current engines, the very cheap interiors and exterior body cladding, paint and shoddy electronics. All points to the fact that these cars won't run long. They're not so cheap that they'd be throw-aways and if you want to take them off-road, you can't exactly lease them either. The body damage will kill you at turn-in. They're also not a car you'd sell easily after 5 years. Their depreciation value is horrific and most people won't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

I purchased the Mitsubishi Cross three months ago, let me tell everyone we love it off road and on regular pavement. The electronics are fantastic, the touch pad "like a mouse pad" is wonderful. The body design is new and fresh, the rear end in my opinion is sexy. My advice to everyone drive one and you will fall in love. Before my test drive we were going to purchase a Rav4 I made the right choice by buying the Eclipse Cross !!!

It means the Mitsubishi warranty covers bumper to bumper for up to 5 years/60k miles and engine/transmission things up to 10 years/100k miles. The anti-corrosion warranty is 7 years/100,000 miles. It's the exact same as what you get with Hyundai/Kia, which are the direct competitors to Mitsubishi (but are a LOT more reliable.)

I just bought one and can't wait to receive it. I was going for the RVR at 1st and then the salesman told me about this one and I did the test drive for both. I was with my sister and when we went from the Eclipse Cross to the RVR, my sister made that: "I feel we got off a limousine and went to a regular car." The Eclipse Cross is really comfortable, I tell you. I also did the test drive for the Mazda CX-5, Toyota Rav4 and Nissan Rogue. What convinced me to go with Mitsubishi in the end was the warranty.

Dave is more excited about this than the Mitsubishi sales people!

Just bought one lowest trim with S-AWC $19725 after rebates and summer discounts We still have the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTs Convertible Have great confidence on Mitsubishi

After 9 months with our two 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL’s with Touring Package & S-AWC we couldn’t be happier. They have every feature we could want like push start, remote start with app for ac and tons of feature changes, mitsubishi connect with sos button in car, heated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, dual pano roof and separate sun shade control for rear passengers, 710 watt 9 speaker rockford fosgate audio system, power folding mirrors, adjustable led headlights, all the up to date active driver aids and safety features and much more! They are so nice and the unique looks I still love every time I see it. The interior on the Eclipse Cross is very nice for this class and high quality compared to the competition and other Mitsubishis. The Crosstrek (which I really like) interior was very cheap feeling and I was shocked. You could move the whole top of door trim on the Subaru and when you pull the door shut the interior door trim pulls outward. The materials feel hollow like. Even the new Rav-4 I wasn’t impressed with. The Eclipse Cross is very solid with tight fitting seams and lots of soft touch parts like a full soft touch dash, soft touch door inserts, soft touch door arm rest, soft touch upper door and center console. Everything feels very sturdy and well built. The silver trim, simulated carbon look trim and piano black trim they use makes it look classy and upmarket with using multiple textures and materials (although piano black scratches to easy on any car). The seats are also very comfy with the leather type material. This does have less cargo room than most competitors due to the sport back type design but with the rear seats being able to slide back and forth and recline allows you to adjust everything to fit passengers and cargo as needed which was a neat design choice. Plus the rear seats fold. Im just shy a 6ft and even with front seats all the way back I can sit in the back with out my knees hitting the seat and I have plenty a head room. The rear is very comfy especially when you recline the seats and open the rear glass panel shade its neat. Again we are very happy with our Mitsubishis. We have owned 5 Mitsubishis now and will continue to buy them as of all the car brands we have owned (Hyundai, Kia, Chevy, Dodge, Ford) the Mitsubishi have have the best luck with no issues. We always purchase new. Thanks Mitsubishi!!!

Nice little off road trip Dave, I've been watching all the Mitsubishi videos off road and I can't tell. Out of the Outlander, Outlander Sport, and this new Eclipse Cross that you have taken to this OHV park which was your favorite if you can recall? I know you have done at least 2 Outlanders a V6 and a 4 Cylinder model, I'm considering the GT V6 in a few months for going up into the Tennessee mountains.

Awesome! Great job man. I was missing the ORV Park videos.

Great review Dave...I love the look of the Mitsubishi enough to compare shop it with the competitors you mentioned. It is less expensive with more features and a 5/60 bumper to bumper and a 10/100 power train warranty. Add that to the fact that Mitsubishi cars have a great reputation for reliability and you have a winner... Thanks for showing the off road ability. It is not a surprise considering Mitsubishi's rally racing heritage. Good job once again Dave!! We will give it a 10 off road since it did everything you asked it to do with ease..

For whatever reason, The Jatco CVT hasn't been a problem in the Mitsubishis They have been better in the Nissans (Jatco makes theirs too) of late than the earlier versions. The Eclipse Cross design and development was completed prior to Nissan taking a controlling stake in Mitsubishi though it was released after Nissan took over. It took some time for CVT tech to mature, but they are used by many manufacturers and have lately been less problem than some Dual clutch (Ford) and 9 speed (Jeep) transmissions for example. It seem that the bugs have been worked out..

No, the Eclipse Cross is actually the last Vehicle exclusively made by Mitsubishi after this next year. Then the vehicles will be sharing parts and platforms. The Outlander Sport/ Rogue Sport and the Outlander/ Rogue to start... It's built on the Mitsubishi GS platform which has been used for The Outlander Sport amongst many other vehicles since 2005. It has been shared with Chrysler/Dodge vehicles and used for many of the Jeep platforms up until 2016 when Fiat took over.

mushroomcloud1 Yes very true. The CVTs in the Mitsubishis are Reliable. Nissan had a lot of issues a few years back even though the CVTs are the same maker. A girl I work with has 149,000 on her 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer CVT and has had the fluid changed twice no issues. 7 of us own Mitsubishis at my work and all CVTs. We love our 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT AWC and 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE. This is the last true mitsubishi before the alliance kicked in.

I've seen the new Eclipse Cross and Outlander Sport in person and they look brilliant in white. They definitely look better in person than online.

I have a 2018 SEL model and it drives like a charm, better than my old Subaru Tribeca. A month ago, a driver in a Dodge Ram in the highway dropped off a sofa and I had to maneuver my EC around it. I was able to do it with maybe not even a second to react. The driver cut me off in the dark while driving at 65 mph. I was able to control my EC with no problems thanks to the S-AWC. This is a keeper. Highly, highly recommended!

Great work, that was a good test.

I've took mine to Sargeant Beach, so much loose and deep sand, 0 issues going where I wanted.

Can you please do more off-road test drive and reviews!! There awesome to watch!

Hey Dave, If you get your hands on a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV I would love to see it go through the Gautlet. Thanks.

To be fair, for all the people talking about the rear styling...let's be real, the rear of any Eclipse (even before this crossover version), has been polarizing. I know a lot of people that hated the flat Eclipse read and I know a ton that hated the round Eclipse rear (lovingly called Bubble Butt by some friends lol). Tis the Eclipse way to have a polarizing rear end

Just bought a 2019 left over Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Special Edition. Little edit to the mpg, I'm getting about 32-33 combined. Thank you for doing this offroad demo. I originally had a 2016 Outlander SE and I took that bad boy up the Summit of Gore Mountain in NY on logging trails. I was hoping that the eclipse cross would do just as good :)

Dave, what drone are you using? I see all your equipment listed, minus the drone.

The rear is pretty polarizing

When going downhill how did you modulate the brake pedal? Also how did the AWC react to it that would have been a great assestment as you were desceding. Could you elaborate?

I like how the Colorado of your shoes matched the car. We have your weather in Chicago the past 2 months, cool & rainy. May had over 8 inches of rain & set a new record, so far in June, it's rained every day. & It's been upper 50's & 60's.

What kind of towing capacity does it have?

@afcgeo882

@Steve Thea No, definitely smaller. Quite a bit smaller, actually. The Eclipse Cross is a sub-compact CUV. Its competition is the Toyota CH-R, Subaru Crosstrek, Jeep Compass, Nissan Rogue Sport, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX3, Ford EcoSport, Chevy Trax, VW Tiguan Limited, Fiat 500x, Hyundai Kona. The direct competitor to the Rav4 and CX5 is the Outlander. Even though it has a tiny 3rd row (like the Nissan Rogue and VW Tiguan), it is still the same size inside and out and has comparable engine sizes/performance. Others in that class are: Subaru Forester, Jeep Cherokee, Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, etc. While people do cross-shop those two classes, it is usually because they simply don't need a compact and the sub-compacts are cheaper. It's like going to see the Grand Cherokee or a Ford Edge, but settling on a Forester. It may be just fine for you, but that doesn't mean the cars are of equal size.

It seems you forgot to mention about the great warranty of this CUV? Its only ten years warranty?

Hi, great test ! It quite shows some off road capabilities - ok , it cannot really compete with real off roaders but still, is good to know that it can handle some rough terrain Now, regarding the trunk volume - as far as I know (at least in Europe versions) the back seats can slide forward and backward - varying either the legroom or the cargo space ...

Isn't that the same terrain where you got stuck in the snow in the CRV, and those guys in the 4Runner had to tow you out?

Same platform vehicles, so not a bad comparison. The Patriot had a rather large trunk area though, so you'd lose much of that. However, you're comparing this to an old Patriot. Compare it to a new Jeep Compass and I doubt you'll choose the Mitsubishi.

Next time could you possibly stop in the middle of the incline and try to climb from a stopped position. I’d like to see the the awd really working. Using speed and momentum the Nissan Kicks probably would have made that climb. Just a little constructive criticism, you make some of the best reviews.

@afcgeo882

Yes and no. First off, in those situations, it's crucial where exactly you stop because an inch might be all the difference. Second, much in that situation depends not on the AWD system, but on the engine output. This is a rocky, sandy turf and not snow/ice. Eventually, the tires will get grip, given enough torque is applied. The bigger the engine, the more torque.

Mitsubishi is well known for its off road capabilities...no surprise there. How bout reliability?

The ch r doesn't come with all wheel drive, no leather seats, no other trims, no off road modes, nothing at all man....the Eclipse Cross has everything unlike the ch r..Its funny you brought it up, because Toyota had enough time to upgrade it, add trims, add off road tech, but no...they just left that barely with what it has now after scion didn't last long and didn't bother changing the ch r.

The CH-R actually does compete against it, just maybe not for your personal wants/needs. You see, many CUVs in North America are sold as FWD only (except Subaru, which doesn't come that way) and that goes double for sub-compact CUVs, which these two are. Most don't come with leather either. The majority of the buyers of this size vehicle buy it because it's cheap and with a hatch, it's practical. When that's all you need and you can get it, in a reliable Toyota, for $20k, why would you spend more to get the stuff you don't need in an unreliable Mitsubishi? Toyota knew that and it bet on it. Sells lots of CH-Rs by the way. A lot more than MItsubishi sells of the Eclipse Cross or the Outlander Sport. Also, these are CUVs, not SUVs.
