Mitsubishi looks to Eclipse crossover segment

Striking coupe-like roofline gives the Eclipse Cross some posing power. Picture: SUPPLIED

The new SUV is deceptive in size. The tape measure puts the Eclipse Cross at 200mm longer but 20mm lower than the segment sales leading Toyota and, its ambitions have extended to the equally ample KIA Sportage, which turns out is a mere 80mm longer than the Mitsubishi. With the money matters out of the way, does the new Mitsubishi impress as a new entry into the game? The interior is spacious upfront but the rear seats were suspect in the matter of squab length, which felt a touch shorter than usual and will be noticed easily by longer-limbed passengers.

The central command area has a touchscreen set into the dashboard instead of the floating-type screens that are becoming more popular.four-cylinder petrol engine has outputs of 110kW and 198Nm and the company expects that we won’t have issues with a CVT. Well, Mitsubishi, you are wrong. A conventional automatic will have likely dealt better with the few demanding uphill roads I encountered on the media launch in the Darling area of the Western Cape.
