The 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and Eclipse Cross PHEV are due in Australian dealerships this month, with minor specification tweaks on some models and price increases of $500 across the range.
Standard equipment levels have been improved for the entry-level Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross ES, which now opens at $31,990 before on-road costs.
The least expensive Eclipse Cross is now fitted as standard with automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a rear LED fog lamp and soundproof windshield glass.
These features are also now standard on the cheapest plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, which also wears the ES badge. The petrol ES additionally gains lane-departure warning, previously only standard on the ES PHEV.
All other Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross variants have unchanged equipment, despite also incurring the $500 price increase.

Drivetrain
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offers a choice of two powertrains: a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder, or a 2.4-litre four-cylinder with two electric motors.
The turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine powering the non-electrified Eclipse Cross variants produces 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque, and is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It’s available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
Eclipse Cross PHEVs utilise a non-turbo 2.4-litre four-cylinder – developing 94kW of power and 199Nm of torque by itself – which combines with two electric motors on the front (60kW/137Nm) and rear axles (70kW/195Nm).
A ‘Super-All Wheel Control’ system distributes the petrol engine and electric motor’s power to all four wheels.
Efficiency
Front-wheel drive Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross variants have a claimed combined fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km, with all-wheel drive versions consuming 7.7L/100km.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV’s fuel consumption is claimed at 1.9L/100km on the combined test cycle, with up to 55km of electric-only driving range with a fully charged battery pack on the NEDC cycle.
Dimensions
The 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross measures in at 4545mm long, 1805mm wide, 1685mm tall, and with a 2670mm wheelbase.
The Eclipse Cross PHEV has a boot capacity of 359L with the rear seats up, and 626L when they’re folded.
Non-hybrid versions of the Eclipse Cross boast 405L of cargo space, expanding to 1149L when the rear seats are folded in front-wheel-drive variants, or 1172L in the all-wheel-drive.
Unbraked towing capacity is 750kg across the range, while standard and PHEV variants vary between 1600kg and 1500kg braked towing capacity, respectively.
Servicing and warranty
All Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross grades require servicing at 12-month or 15,000km intervals, whichever comes first.
Mitsubishi offers 10 years of capped-price servicing, which equates to a total price of $4940 for the Eclipse Cross and $5940 for the Eclipse Cross PHEV.
That represents an increase of $200 for the turbocharged Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, while the Eclipse Cross PHEV remains unchanged.
