Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018-2026) Questions & Answers

Thank you. I might add, in 2022 I went three straight months without buying any petrol. Then we took a road trip from Brisbane to Victor Harbor Sth. Aust. From there we drove to Roxby Downs (North of Woomera) and then home, a total of 5,700kms. I was able to recharge the drive battery (at no cost) seven times on the way down and four times on the way back (route dependant.) Overall petrol consumption for the four weeks was 4.53 L/100Kms but that cannot be compared to a regular petrol driven car for a number of reasons. The car itself proved very comfortable to travel in. One stage of the trip the car travelled 564kms on one tank with an estimated seven litres remaining in the tank returning 6.59 L/100Kms on ULP91. The engine returns much better fuel economy on E10. At no stage does one experience "range anxiety." We are VERY happy with our purchase so far and are planning another trip soon.

Absolutely fantastic review. Thank you for being so articulate with this real world summary. Can I ask please, what range you were able to get on EV mode only?

Depends on the charge held in the battery. On trips, some charge stations say the battery is 80% charged when in reality it isn't. Distance travelled on an 80% charge should be 44kms but one can rely on 25kms (minimum) and up to 45 kms (terrain dependent.) If you are familiar with Willunga Hill (not far from Maclaren Vale) I began the descent with about 14kms drive battery charge remaining. At the end, the estimated charge said I had 72 kms range. Of course, that was an estimate that didn't make sense but at least the battery was fully charged and as we drove the range dropped very quickly to show more realistic results.

I believe it can happen if it detects a vehicle in the direction where you're pointing your steering wheel. Usually I feel the acceleration when moving to the fast lane and if there aren't any cars in front of me. But it also breaks quite aggressively if detects anything in front of the car. It works great most of the time. It beeps if the road isn't straight to let you know that you need to be vigilant. But best to check with the service department if it happens often. Cheers

Presently trying to resolve with dealer.

It could be from the tyres on the ground if the ground surface is very polished. I heard a sound from the tyres when I was in shopping parking once and I went down and I noticed that was from the front tyre friction on the ground surface.

do the 3 beeps occur with regular frequency or following specific events like radar incursions where objects come into play - we don't get lots of beeping events but it does beep when the active cruise control gets into distance between cars that have been set (when it engages and disengages) and other similar events but it doesn't beep a lot - I think you can re-programme the audio visual display screen to suit your preferences - there is full instruction in the drivers manual on how to do this - if you can identify the specific events that that cause the beeps, and they are not critical safety warnings you may be able to programme them out , but if they are regular and not identified then the dealer would no doubt be able to give you some advice. regards Afk

late answer, but this does sound odd - maybe dirty fuel is a source but one would hope the fuel filters would filter out "dirt" - water would be a different situation though, that could cause some grief - 80-90 litres a 100 has to be an aberration and possibly a temporary fault in the instrument calculation and display, hence the blinking on the instrument panel. Sometime my Pajero sport head unit display chucks a wobbly but turn on turn off fixes it, its not a persistent problem - no car could use 80-90 litres a hundred kilometres. Do you get your fuel from the same place or move around, contaminated fuel is not common but it does happen. We have only had one problem with our car, the radio antenna lead has resistance causing DAB+ problems on distant stations and Mitsubishi were very responsive - if this problem persists I would beat a path to the dealers door regards Afk

Hello, not an expert on the black edition, but I think that is last year's model and i think they go for $25k - $30k. I dont think it is as well specced as the new aspire model which sits underneath the exceed and i dont think they have the black edition in this years range. The 2021 Aspire goes for around $36k and the exceed $40k...these are both 2wd, i think awd adds another $2.5k. The exceed has everything you could want and drives very well and is very well specced up...we chose the pearl white colour which is probably the pick of the bunch and looks very nice.

I have just bought a 2021 Exceed. Very blurry rear view and 360 degree camera. Camera is nowhere near as good as the 2016 Honda city I just sold. Paddle shifters are a joke and block the words on the headlight and wiper switches. No electric tailgate, or inside tailgate release. For $44,000 including all my accessories, I’m very disappointed. My first and last Mitsubishi.

hello Robin, When the gear lever is in "park" position immediately to the right is 2 rocker switches - left one is for the left seat and the right one is for the right seat - when the rocker switch is in the middle the seats are off, when you click the rocker switch forward the seat will heat up to the highest temperature and when the switch is pushed forwards the front the seat temperature is at the minimum setting - the switch illuminates orange colour when turned on and no brightness when turned off. We love our heated seats - very nice on a winter morning! Regards Tony
