![]() ![]() ![]() There aren’t any obvious cost-cutting measures to be found, and some options, like a heated steering wheel and rear seats, are unexpected. We found the interior trim and textures to be of reasonably quality considering the car’s price point. A column-mounted flip-up head-up display remains available. Models equipped with the larger screen include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a TomTom-based navigation system is also included on SE and SEL trims. That allowed Mitsubishi to remove the unloved, Lexus-like console-mounted touchpad and instead rely solely on touchscreen inputs, which in turn freed up space for better cupholders. The infotainment screen, which measures 7 inches on the base ES model and 8 inches on everything else, was moved a couple inches closer to the driver. While the added space is a welcome improvement, the reconfiguration of the Eclipse Cross’s dashboard and center console may be even more useful. It also adds 11% more floor area for long and/or wide items. ![]() That makes for a bump in cargo capacity to 23.4 cubic feet (up 0.8 over the 2020 version) with the rear seat in place and 50.1 (an increase of 1.2 cubic feet) with the second row folded. The 2022 Eclipse Cross is a significant 5.5 inches longer than the 2020 model, and four of those were tacked on the back end. Gone is the two-piece rear glass that was bisected by a faux spoiler-shaped panel with full-width taillights, and in its place is a much more conventional hatchback with a larger single-piece window. The rear received an even bigger makeover than the front. There’s a definite human-esque look to the face of the Eclipse Cross, and in person the overall appearance is aggressive and interesting. Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield grille design features chrome swooshes that flank a blacked-out diamond-pattern mesh in the center. A redesigned front fascia further separates the light clusters into upper LED driving lights and lower stacked headlights and fog lamps. On the outside, the updates are focused on the very tips of the little crossover. The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross isn’t a total redesign - it rides on the same platform and is powered by the same engine and transmission as before - but the exterior design has been given a serious makeover while the interior gets some nice ergonomic upgrades that will make it easier to live with on a daily basis. In an odd bit of launch timing that we figure was probably shaken up by a certain global pandemic, there’s no 2021 edition. And it’s been given a pretty comprehensive refresh for the 2022 model year that erases a few of our complaints and makes it more compelling, especially against subcompact crossover models like the Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR. It’s sized and priced somewhere between subcompact and compact crossovers, making it an in-betweener that may attract some buyers due to its distinctive positioning. Once the Clean Car rebate scheme restarts, only vehicles registered from the restart date that meet the eligibility criteria will qualify for a rebate.We’ve considered the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a better-than-expected option in a mostly uninspiring vehicular segment ever since it was introduced for the 2018 model year. If the fund is exhausted, rebates will not be paid out until funds are replenished. It is only possible with a 3 axle braked trailer, towball vertical load of no greater than 4% and an approved MMNZ towbar.Ĭlean Car Rebates may be available on some low emission vehicles for the Clean Car Fund. 3.5t towing capacity applies to double cab 4WD models only. Prices shown on Triton cab chassis models exclude tray shown. Please note that actual on-road fuel consumption, emissions and range will vary depending on traffic and road conditions, vehicle load and the individuals’ driving styles. Fuel economy & CO2 figures are calculated to WLT-3P. Fuel economy and range figures are based on the ADR 81/02 test for combined urban/extra urban driving. Private driveways, boat ramps, sandy beaches and other off road settings may limit take off performance. Outlander PHEV tow weight is specified for use on NZ road network.
