2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Safety Rating
When the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was tested by ANCAP in 2017, it received a rating of five stars. The PHEV has yet to be tested on its own.
All models received an adult occupant protection score of 97 per cent, child occupant protection score of 78 per cent, vulnerable road user protection score of 80 per cent and a safety assist score of 58 per cent.
All 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross models come standard with autonomous emergency braking with forward-collision warning, as well as front, front-side and curtain airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag.
All bar the base petrol ES include lane-departure warning, though blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are available only in the Aspire and Exceed.
The range-topping Exceed gets something Mitsubishi calls Ultrasonic Mis-acceleration Mitigation System, which is designed to stop the car if you press the accelerator instead of the brake at low speeds.
2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Fuel Economy
The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross consumes 7.3L/100km on the combined cycle in front-wheel drive models, 7.7L/100km in all-wheel drive models and 1.9L/100km in the PHEV, though the latter is reliant on a charged battery pack.

How does the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross drive?
Our expert take on Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross drivability.
Though the Eclipse Cross PHEV is built on a version of the last Outlander’s platform, it’s considerably better to drive, while its powertrain still deserves plaudits.
The ride quality is superior to the outgoing Outlander PHEV, with a smooth ride across most surfaces. It feels fairly softly-sprung, though some larger ruts see impacts being transmitted through the cabin which can give the ride a brittle feeling.
The steering has an appropriate amount of weight, but it feels a bit numb and doesn’t inspire confidence. That’s unfortunate, as the car’s S-AWC all-wheel drive system works well at getting power to the ground – as a week’s worth of driving in record wet weather can attest – and handling is competent.
We wouldn’t call the Eclipse Cross fun to drive, but it’s nicely balanced and body roll is fairly well controlled for an SUV.
The best part of the driving experience, however, is easily the powertrain. The Eclipse Cross shifts between petrol and electric power seamlessly. You have to really stomp on the accelerator pedal to experience that trademark CVT rev flare, and only then is the transition between petrol and electric power particularly apparent.
You have the option to select a pure EV mode, otherwise the car will utilise the engine at constant speeds where it’s most efficient. It’s noticeably more electrified than a conventional hybrid, however, with the petrol motor tapped far less frequently.
In the petrol-only car, the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine and CVT combo make acceleration linear and mostly effortless, and the Eclipse Cross builds speed deceptively quickly.
At times the CVT’s tendency to hold revs or slur through ‘steps’ is a little droney and annoying, but it gets the job done and doesn’t sound as laboured as some naturally-aspirated rivals.
With all 250Nm available from 2000rpm, the Mitsubishi gives you a slight shove in the back as peak torque comes online, and driving around town is pretty effortless.

2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Warranty
The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross requires servicing every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. Mitsubishi offers ten years of capped-price servicing.

The PHEV’s battery is covered for eight years or 160,000km, though the vehicle is covered by the same warranty as the petrol Eclipse Cross.
2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs other SUVs to consider
The Eclipse Cross is one of the bigger small SUVs out there, offering more interior space than a Mazda CX-30 or Hyundai Kona. It's also good value, with long standard feature lists across the range.
Should you buy the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross builds on a solid base with more resolved design and more resolved infotainment.
Relative to the small SUV segment, it's one of the larger offerings with one of the most spacious second rows and a big boot, and is one of the few entrants in the class that is as at home on the freeway as putting around the ‘burbs.
It's not huge on excitement, but it's a solid choice.
