Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2019
Overview
With the release of “The Fast and the Furious” in 2001, MITSUBISHI gained huge popularity with their original Eclipse sports car. MITSUBISHI is finally back with their Eclipse series after decades, not with the sports cars, but all new SUVs.
The 2018 Eclipse crossover has joined the ASX and Outlander as the company’s city-focused, more mainstream crossover line-up. The new Eclipse Cross 2019 comes with new turbocharged engines alongside an 8-speed Continuously Variable Transmission, featuring sports mode.
2019 Highlights:
- MITSUBISHI Eclipse Cross comes with a smooth front fascia. Leading from the top, the SEL trim comes with LED headlights, LED low and high daytime running lights, and the usual MITSUBISHI grill with its distinctive chrome line.
- With a wheelbase of 106.4 inches, you can easily stretch out your legs. Measuring at 175.5 inches, it is 3 inches longer than the Outlander Sport and 9 inches shorter than the bigger Outlander. It runs a 1.5 MIVEC + Direct Injection Turbo Charged 4-cylinder engine that produces up to 152 horsepower and a torque of 184 lb-ft.
- MITSUBISHI Eclipse Cross 2019’s Continuous Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT) does the job of maximising the propelling force. If you want manual gearing, the paddle shifters on the steering wheel will allow you to do so.
Overall, the 2019 Eclipse gives you a family friendly driving experience with the elevated driving position on bumpy roads, through bends, leans and freeways.
