In November, we took three heroes from Mitsubishi’s diverse range of rugged and capable SUVs to the heart of the Lake District, following two extreme triathletes on a gruelling training session from Ullswater lake to Kirkstone peak.
It’s time to take a closer look at one of the stars of that adventure – the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
With an eye-catching design, a comfortable spacious interior, and a wealth of technology that makes driving easier and safer, this mid-size SUV is perfect for long journeys with friends and family. It’s also a highly capable 4x4 too, meaning you can keep exploring even when the roads get rough.

Stylish, spacious and comfortable
The arrival of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross marked the start of a new design direction for the brand – heavily influenced by Japanese craftsmanship. Its sharp distinctive character lines are complemented by rugged skid plates and wheel-arch mouldings that highlight the Eclipse Cross’s off-road pedigree.
The stylish interior features a high console and a lofty driving position to give added confidence to the driver, while a twin power panoramic glass sunroof for front and rear passengers (on the Eclipse Cross 4 trim) brings even more light into the cabin.
The Eclipse Cross has Smartphone Link Display Audio fitted as standard. You can seamlessly connect a smartphone with the dash-mounted screen, letting you control apps for music, maps and live traffic, calls, voicemail and texts with either the touch-pad controller or voice commands**. A premium Rockford Fosgate 9-speaker system is available on the Eclipse Cross 4 for even more acoustic performance.
There’s also plenty of space for passengers and cargo, with up to 448 litres (VDA) of load volume and 60:40 split-rear seats that slide forward easily to add 20cm of additional load length.
Confident on the open road
With a 1.5-litre petrol turbo engine that offers 120PS and 250Nm of torque – allied to a choice of manual and automatic transmissions and four-wheel-drive on selected trims – the Eclipse Cross lets you pick the right blend of performance and efficiency for your needs.
Mitsubishi’s range of advanced driver assistance and safety technology has been designed to make driving on open roads easier, more relaxing and safer, with Forward Collision Mitigation and Lane Departure Warning fitted as standard, and Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Assist and Blind Spot Warning available on the Eclipse Cross 4.
