Superb car! – Purchased the LS Black Edition in April 2023 - I absolutely LOVE this car. It is my everyday car; beautiful to drive, very responsive, engine is absolutely superb - I can't find one fault. Fuel economy is also brilliant. This is my second Mitsubishi after owning an ASX for 6 years (also a fantastic car). Show details

I find the car great, but am very disappointed with things like the paintwork – The car fits my needs and I particularly like the 1.5 turbo petrol engine. I am not so sure that I like the CVT [transmission]. The engine under the control of the turbo, generates a lot of response and get-up-and-go, but the transmission often hesitates under a moderate load. It is beautifully sensitive under light acceleration and launches… Read more

forward well under heavy acceleration but often in the middle it hesitates and fluctuates between fast acceleration and slight acceleration. Now that the ASX has been refreshed, I think it might be a better vehicle for the future because its power plant is more conventional that the Eclipse Cross.

Wow Great Performance – We recently bought the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2WD) and couldn't be happier! Interior of SUV is very spacious and comfortable. The vehicle is quiet and smooth running. There are lots of useful features that makes driving a breeze. It's well worth the 4 months wait and 10 years extended warranty is fantastic. My other half loves it so much that he nominated himself the driver each time we go out.... Show details

ES Eclipse Cross Buy with caution – The test drive car was the basic ES model (2WD) 1.5 ltr engine with turbo. The test terrain was South Gippsland with a return trip via the M1 freeway. The first part was night driving, the second part was day driving. The first section included stop-start peak hour traffic. Externally the vehicle has a sporty smallish SUV appearance. LED driving… Read more

lights are a plus. Large tail lights are great. Grey metal colour blended in too much with the road and was considered unsafe. Dash display is good with plenty of driver feedback: lane departure, speed setting, fuel usage, collision mitigation. Handbrake is old style manual, key turn ignition, single control heating/cooling (not dual), manual seat adjustment and power mirrors (but not auto folding). The drivers seat is lower than expected. The ES may not suit seniors. It does not give that higher vision parents expect from an SUV. The info screen is moderate size, easy to read and operate. The screen stands proud of the dash which may possibly break easier than ones which are inserted into a raised dash. Touch screen operation is simple. No round dial in the console like some difficult models. The sound system is clear with good fidelity. First impression of the driving was uncomfortable with low seat and insufficient back support. The lower seating position would work better with an on windsreen speed display. Peak hour traffic is not the best for this vehicle with higher fuel consumption and spinning wheels if high revs are engaged. The vehicle comes into its own around 80 to 85 kph. It eases up to 100 kph with no trouble. I would have liked a wider light beam at night on the winding roads. I stopped to raise and lower the headlights via a dial on right side of steering wheel. I felt the steering wheel was on the small side. The car looked tiny alongside utes in the Loy Yang carpark. I guess electricity workers don't get subsidies for electric, hybrid or fuel efficient vehicles. Fuel consumption (7.1 to 8.2 ltr/100km) night driving over hills 85kph. (8.1 to 9.1 ltr/100 to 110 kph on freeway. Verdict- a country car. Consider the PHEV eclipse cross for more features, better fuel economy, regenerative braking for Gippsland hills and better resale value.

enjoy limp mode and long time frames without your car with no loan car support either – I had my brand new Eclipse Cross for 19 days before it shuttered violently, went into limp mode and the engine light came on. Another 19 days later and I am only just able to collect it today after I view the report of what has been fixed (still not sure if it has been repaired) That is 19 days after it first went in for repairs. I had no loan car… Read more

offered to me for support in the interim while they investigated the issue and the email response I received from Mitsubishi was blunt just requesting a copy of my contract with no further communication from customer relations given to me at all. I didn't even receive a phone call from them to discuss the issue. Treated like a number and not a customer. Very disappointing.

Pleasantly surprised – We were looking for a family SUV back in 2018 and were certain about only one thing. We wanted to buy either a Japanese or a Korean made vehicle. We finally shortlisted Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander but really wanted the Pajero Sport. Eclipse Cross was very new back then and we weren't sure about the reliability of the small turbo engine. The… Read more

salesman at the showroom insisted that we take it for a test drive. Next thing we know, we bought the Exceed AWD model and have never regretted the decision.

This is a very comfortable SUV for the price and came with heated leather seats, electric seat adjustments, sun roof and plethora of safety and driver assistance features. I've never felt the need to have more power that what it generates on Australian roads. It handles the occasional unsealed roads and a bit mud/rainy/icy conditions with ease and always feels stable and in control. What more could one want in a car in this segment.

Great car, no issues – Bought the 2022 LS fwd new 7 months ago, couldn't be happier and averaging 7.3 l per 100kms, shopped it against the Mazda CX 5 and Kia seltos but preferred the power and comfortable ride of the suspension Show details

Great car and value for money – This is my family car and i love it. The best car i ever had. No issues so far. I am really impressed with first class comfort and love it ❤️.  Show details

I am very happy with it...more than I expected – I bought my ES eclipse cross in December 2020. So far everything is excellent. Fuel economy, a larger leg room than other small SUVs with adjustable back seat, good performance, comfortable to drive. Overall, I am happy with it and love it. Show details

Eclipse awd exceed – Just ordered the new model and 2 years of trouble free low cost motoring , good fuel ecomony great awd system with all the current safety tech all included and great features like head up display and dual sunroof and great small suv that is actually very spacious insure can fit 2 6 footers in front and back no problems Show details

! EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE! – Perfect for long drive as well as local Good mileage with 1.5 turbo engine Stunning Great family SUV Much better shape, bigger boot more leg room Amazing car worth it Show details

Best car i have had – I have had this car 16 months , used to go everywhere, had no issues and all, great in city and country, great for the pets too to travel in. Economical with petrol too Show details

Take a "chance" and test drive this car..you might be surprised. Excellent car – This car was purchased for my wife, considered the Mazda CX30, Honda Hrv, Nissan qashqai...the eclipse cross is probably between the CX30 and the CX5..drove the top of the range Mazda and Nissan...didn't bother with the Honda Hrv, rear head room non existent for over 6 foot person, no apple or android car play, didn't have DAB digital radio and a… Read more

host of safety features found in the eclipse cross including multi around cameras which are brilliant...Qashqai was a good car, fairly underwhelming drive and still had push buttons on the display screen which is also low down in the dash and not head high like the EC, and cvt drone is more evident than in the EC which is well tuned. The Qashqai is showing its age and needs updating though has some good attributes. The EC has a strong 1.5L turbo that pulls 250nm of torque. The cvt is 8 stepped like auto gearbox and you would hardly know its a cvt. It drives very smoothly and quiet...goes well. Wasn't all that impressed with the CX30..like a sardine can and not as roomy as the EC, might be good for smaller people. Rear seat headroom not great and small car for drivers over 6ft. Don't believe the biased Journo views of the EC, especially a lot of the US reviewers who bemoan that its not like the original Mitsubishi Eclipse that they claim the car is trying to be (its not) plus they go on and on about the media screen not having a volume knob, but they don't talk about the volume control on the steering wheel and the touch pad in the centre console which both work fine, plus volume up and down on the touch screen itself. Unless its a "Mazda" or a "Toyota" the reviewers are almost condescending and dismissive. The touch pad works very well and means you keep your eyes on the road, but the US reviewers also complain about it as well. They also go on about having to reach too far from the drivers seat to adjust the volume on the media screen. That's because the volume control on the screen is on the right hand side which suits a right hand drive vehicle. We generally have the opposite problem with the controls on the left hand side to suit left hand drive cars. The Mazda only has a rotary dial in the centre console and no manual controls on the screen...volume knobs and switches are obsolete! The Qashqai even has a CD player which is really outdated plus had more push button function switches that takes your eyes off the road. If you don't like the touch pad on the EC then the touch screen itself is also very easy to use. The lights panel on the back window was the only point of consternation in our decision, and some complain about it, but after about 10 minutes of driving my wife found it easy to get used to its not a problem at all (certainly not a deal breaker)..the range of safety and automated control in this car is very extensive, lane departure, blind spot monitoring (indicators on the rear view mirrors), active cruise control, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision mitigation, autonomous aeb emergency braking, 360 degree all around monitor cameras, auto high beam adjustment which works a treat coupled to brilliant led headlights (you would be going to find better headlights than this car) The heads up display in the EC is way better than the CX30...it pops up out of the dash, can be adjusted and can be turned off if you don't want it on...the CX30 display appears like its on the front of the bonnet and you can only dim it, you cant turn it off. The EC unit is a lot better in our opinion. Not a lot of cars in this class even have HUD unit. The HUD unit displays speed, adaptive cruise control settings and flashes up warnings such as Lane departure etc - it works a treat and you can adjust the height of the image up and down the screen to accommodate higher or lower seating position plus change the brightness with simple buttons on the instrument panel. When you turn it off, it tucks back into the dashboard - very neat! The electric handbrake is very good (no space invading lever handbrake) and the auto hold brake function is very handy. The EC is a great drive, looks modern, with heated front seats and front and rear sunroof. Front sunroof section opens plus has insect screen which pops up at the front (like others). Seats are very comfortable leather and cabin is quiet on the road, plenty of cabin space and forward vision is very good. The pearl white colour looks a treat. The steering is very good and direct for most conditions but not too direct, suspension is a little on the soft side but the body roll some reviewers mention is also not a problem and is mostly well controlled (there is no body roll to any level of concern at normal speeds and driving). Check out the KM77 "Moose" test - the EC did very well against all its competitors. We have had no issues with its handling, it drives very well. Would be even sweeter with some more storage nooks in the cargo area, auto locking doors, rear air vents (there are vents under the front seats to direct air to the rear though) and USB outlets in the rear (there is 12v outlet for rear seats though that you can plug in adapter plus there is 2 USB outlets in the front console in accessible place). At this model spec the front passenger seat should be electric control like the drivers seat. Update 1: car is probably still a bit tight but fuel efficiency seems very good...mixture of cross town and urban can get between 6.5L/ 100 klm to 7.6 L/100..claimed combined is 7.3L/ 100 klm and we are doing that ok. Has only done about 1650 kilometres with lots of cross town travel for avge 7.3L / 100 klm .This has improved as motor loosens up but have had 1 freeway trip for 6.2L / 100klm...stoke the turbo and drive accordingly and fuel consumption goes up but this is to be expected. Update 2: 1 year in and 10,000 klm on the clock - hasn't missed a beat - very good car, on cross town runs can get the fuel down to 5.8 L 100 klm and we easily sit inside the 7.3 L 100 klm claimed by Mitsubishi. The good thing is this vehicle uses Std. unleaded unlike some other turbo vehicles that use premium, so even if the fuel consumption was a bit more than others, still way in front because of the RON 91.

Very impressed with this car. Worth a try! It is almost like a well kept secret!

Pleasantly surprised – Very happy wit our EC driven now in mixed conditions for 2650km.....economy matches your driving style, extremely safe with every safety feature available. Its quiet and gets along well, likely not to win a drag race, but, plenty of zip...Eye catching and stylish, 7 year warranty and 2 years free services. We wanted a bigger vehicle than our Kia… Read more

Cerato, the Eclipse cross is exactly the size we wanted...as we have gravel roads around AWD is very good. But its too nice to go on a bush bash....overall, very pleased, would recommend you test drive...

Outstanding vehicle – Just a joy to drive. Economical, quiet, spacious, smooth and can wake up the turbo and GO. Almost silent on smooth roads, big bump behaviour could be improved. Radar cruise control is outstanding - could not live without it. Think it is the best kept secret and easily best in class. Show details

Best mid range SUV for the price – We bought the Black Edition few months back and love this car soo much. Engine is responsive but could have been better but for this price bracket its great. Feature wise we have not found any other car which beats the price. Highly recommended for family looking for mid size SUV. Show details

Awesome vehicle. Don't believe the journo's – Wow what more can I say my partner and I were on the hunt for a new compact SUV. After looking at every available option. We settled on the eclipse cross and it's been the best decision yet. It's,stylish, compact ,quiet, comfortable and surpriseingly peppy. From top to bottom this car has exceeded our expectations. The turbo charged 1.5 ltre… Read more ·  2

engine is a joy to drive with amazing pick up and smoothness. And yes it is a tad noisey if pushed but enjoyable. Visability is great and the room for this compact SUV is surprising. Overall this is one of the best SUV's it the segment.dont listen to the Media's views on this car they are wrong. Take one for a test drive and you will be surprised.

Extremely poor rear vision – Sorry, I am not sure what model to write about as it was a hire car. The car itself is just ok but the rear vision is atrocious. When you use the rear view mirror you also see the front headrests. The split rear window has a heavy bar about a third of the way up, the bar also thickens further at each end so reduces rear vision even further. If… Read more

that is not bad enough, the rear pillars are huge. I had a minor accident while reversing from supermarket car park, I looked rear, left and right as best I could, the headrests block most of the view, then had to rely on the reversing camera, by then a car came around the corner an we had a minor crash. I found my car tended to wander at highway speeds, ride and comfort were fine. I have a VW Tiguan, in my opinion, no comparison, VW every time!

good technology, quick engine . Noises from rear cabin area. After 17 months and 20,000 kms I’m selling the car – I use the car everyday for family use only. It had been serviced by the Mitsubishi dealer but they could not fix all the problems just after second time and another dealer they fix the mayor noise from the rear of the cabin ( sunroof assembly bolts incorrect torque adjusment ) Show details

Well credentialed SUV...but – Responsive 1.5 turbo, significant boot size, ideal efficient hwy vehicle, nimble and easy to park around town, excellent safety package and 360°cameras, missing electric tailgate for vehicle of excellent quality Show details

Love that car – My wife and I are soon to retire and were looking for a smallish suv for a second car to replace our 2002 astra we have had since New- the replacement needed to be used daily around town and trips to family interstate on weekends so our second car, a large 4wd can just be used for rambling around Australia once retired – the big box to tick was… Read more

ease of entry/Exit as we age as both tall. Reliability as we intend to keep our cars for 10 plus years – after sitting in dozens of cars it came down to vitara and eclipse – eclipse won just due to entry & exit /Safety features/engine zippyness and 7 yr warranty . we have had it since Feb 2019 -Well pleased , tows tinnie and trailer with ease if needed, great fuel consumption in my view, comfortable. Cvt transmission takes a little time to get used to and I will say though, it Can be a little bouncy on dodgy roads due to short wheelbase but other than that great city car that can take you on interstate travel with comfort and ease if needed. Its been 6 years. Still going well and absolutely no issues.
