Driving the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

The Eclipse Cross is engineered to give you the ultimate driving experience. A direct-injection turbo engine offers powerful performance, and a full-time four-wheel-drive system provides better stability and cornering.

SUPER ALL WHEEL CONTROL (S-AWC)

Outstanding stability

The advanced, full-time four-wheel-drive system controls the driving and braking force to each wheel. The result is more focused drive power, better cornering and better stability in all driving conditions. This integrated system works through a combination of Active Yaw Control, Active Stability Control and Anti-lock braking system (ABS).

More about Super All Wheel Control

Better roadholding

Active Yaw Control is a unique system which we invented. It improves cornering by using the brakes to distribute torque to the left and right wheels optimally. So even if you brake or accelerate too hard, you still maintain control.

Stability in all conditions

Active Stability Control uses sensors to analyse the vehicle’s motion and identify any unstable movement. It then automatically distributes torque and braking power to the left or right wheels to maintain stability.

No locked brakes

An Anti-Lock Braking System is designed to prevent skidding. It works by stopping the wheels from locking up during braking, so they're always in contact with the road surface. ABS has been on our cars for years.

Off-Road Mode

Greater traction when you need it

Enhance the Eclipse Cross's off-road traction even further with the new Drive Mode Selector switch on the centre console. Just press it until the mode you want appears in the Multi-Information Display on the dash. Choose between Auto, Snow or Gravel settings.

Provides reliable 4WD performance in various conditions.

Enhance your Eclipse Cross stability, on slippery road surfaces such as snow and ice.

Greater traction for rough roads and to prevent you from getting stuck.

Direct Injection Turbo Engine

Responsive yet economical

The newly developed 1.5L turbocharged engine puts instant acceleration at your command. This highly responsive performance was made possible by direct fuel injection, an exhaust manifold-integrated cylinder head, MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system) and more.

Auto Stop and Go System (AS&G)

Reduce fuel waste and emissions

The Auto Stop & Go System shuts off the engine at traffic stops, cutting fuel waste and CO2 emissions without disrupting the electronic systems. The engine restarts immediately, so you’ll never be left waiting.

Heads-Up Display (HUD)

More ways to stay informed

A futuristic Heads-Up Display (HUD) means you can keep your eyes on the road ahead and still get on-board notifications. Notifications include the speed, distance to the car in front and warnings if the door is left ajar.

Multi-Information Display

Up to the minute alerts

In between the speedo and tach dials is a full-colour LCD Multi-Information Display. Showing your start-up information, drive mode status and safety alerts allowing you to focus on the road ahead.

Touchpad Controller

Feels like a smartphone

The touchpad controller in the centre console operates like a smartphone keypad, so with a few taps or swipes, you can run the Smartphone link Display Audio System to set your audio levels, and much more, with the minimum of fuss.
