2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross | The High-Tech Mitsubishi

- The 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross isn't what you'd expect considering Mitsubishi's history and the Eclipse that became so popular. They geared this towards the thriving CUV market and added several features...but still attempted to be sporty, although it isn't sporty by any stretch. For the price this Eclipse Cross SEL S-AWC is over $32k and that seems pretty steep for what you get. Overall, this 2020 Eclipse Cross is adequate, but not good enough to steal many buyers from other mainstream brands in the compact or even subcompact cuv/suv class. Leave your thoughts below!

Japanese never seems to disappoint ❗️Entry level bargain/ good quality/ excellent warranty❗️
I bought a “used” 2018 a couple months ago with around 5k miles for only $18K that’s an SE trim with 4wd. I love my car so far. The stock tires were crappy so I switched them out with a lot better tires and it made the handling better. Overall, I love this car, the engine is peppy, it has a nice tall ride, it’s a beast in the snow and I think it is gorgeous! It’s unique as well compared to most cars that all look generally the same.
Filipino here, and I owned the 2019 FWD with the same color! And I’m loving every part of it. And believe me Blue color is a head turner!! By the way I’m here in Doha, Qatar and I hope Mitsubishi will also release Eclipse Cross in the Philippines. 🤘🏻
I own one 2wd version with quite some options and love it. The rear is growing on me and the sharp design makes it sexier than most stuff we have on the road
Shivneel Rup are the paddle shifters even effective?
I own this suv, drive it in a city and Love it!!!
vdobrovo glad to hear it! 😁👍
Thanks for your post... I just bought one and I'm having second thoughts because it doesn't seem to be "popular". Thanks you I feel better!
@@lisagodley4662 and why because others may not like the vehicle does that matter to you? Mitsubishi's are fairly reliable ...good vehicles. If you like it, and that must be why you purchased it.....that's all that should matter. Don't know how old you are but never go by "popular opinions" march to the beat of your own drum and you will always be happier! Case in point.....just because it's popular.....do you follow the Kardashians? Only real idiots would give a flying flip about that moronic family.
@@lisagodley4662 i cant wait to get one !! I dont see many SEL models thats the one I'm getting i can't decided what color
@@aayonce4 get blue. That way it stands out even more.
Just bought one! A 2020 model. Day 3 now. So far I really like it!
I'm a car channel junkie. Enjoy your reviews. The color of this Mitsubishi is nice.
Thank you Joel! I agree on that color too! 👍
@@PrimeAutotainment "Lightning blue."
When i first saw it i didn't like the rear design, that was in 2018 when they released this model here in the Saudi Arabian market for the first time, however it turned to be very nice looking design for me i dunno how and why :) i'm now thinking of buying this car that's why i came across you'r nice review of the car.
same here.looks nice/different after carefully noticing & of course comparing to all the others in the market
Mitsubishi makes great vehicles
*used to. Since they partnered with Nissan a few years ago it started going downhill. The Lancer was the last true Mitsubishi
@@canadianplanespotter the Eclipse cross is based on the Lancer
@@canadianplanespotter Nissan saved Mitsubishi btw. Otherwise Mitsubishi would of been dead in America
@@T16-s5o not the Eclipse Cross
@@canadianplanespotter the Mitsubishi Eclipse cross is on the GS platform which is the same platform as the Lancer. Look it up.
I bought a 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE shortly after they first came out. The styling is what caught my eye. I saw one in a parking lot and went closer to examine it to find out what it was. Mine is that diamond red with extra chrome garnishments and I absolutely love the vehicle. The window sticker on my vehicle showed $28,900. but I got them down to $23,500. So while your review quoted the list prices, which sound kind of pricey for what you are getting, a good negotiator can do much better. And just for the record while the back end may kind of resemble the Pontiac Aztek, the side and front styling couldn't be more different. So all in all I think the ride and styling are what sold me on the vehicle.....then I just had to get them down to the price I was happy with
Glad to hear about your discount, thanks for sharing this! Enjoy your Eclipse Cross 😁👍
I need some pointers on how to negotiate.. Any pointers are welcome!
@@brkitdwn7514 a few important points: a good to excellent credit score, no desperate need to buy their vehicle, be prepared to get up and walk away. Negotiate a reasonable deal...taking down notes of the deal..then leave to think about it, email other dealers in the area telling them the deal your currently have with _______ dealership and invite them to beat it. Never fall for "this deal won't be available tomorrow" and always remind them the car you currently have is in good condition and you really don't need their car
@@vincentfredo2386 Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info!!
Wow, 2019 and 2020's sell for about $14K in the US.
That color is amazing 💙
I've the new 2019 outlander and seeing this I'm glad I didn't ask too many questions to the seller about the eclipse cross. ( I don't live in the city )
That interior light brightness button that does nothing is actually for the heads up display brightness.😊
I've had my 2022 Eclipse Cross SEL w/touring package for over 2 years now and just love the vehicle. Mine is the FWD and not AWD version, and gets 32 to 33 mpg on long distance highway drives when eco mode is on while using cruise control. I recently went on a road trip through some 2 lane backroads (1 lane each direction), and was able to easily accelerate past other vehicles (eco mode off and stability/braking controls off). I do also have a 4th gen eclipse with the v6 engine, and while the 2022 eclipse cross does not have that same power of the 4th gen coupe, it does have decent pep, and the 2022 is WAY more refined than my 4th gen. The 2022 has nicer seating, better visibility, better maneuverability, a smoother & quieter ride, maps are built into the car, the BI-LED headlights are fantastic, plus has a ton of other features that the 4th gen coupe doesn't have. I do enjoy driving my 4th gen eclipse and the 2022 eclipse cross.
I love mine. Will drive a few more years before upgrading to newer version of eclipse cross!
Great to see you do the decimal count. I haven’t come across anyone else that does this.
You do a very good job on these reviews. The Eclipse-Cross looks like it will disappoint in a few areas - namely, feeling modern and feeling sporty - but at the same time it looks enjoyable to drive. Might have to test drive a 2022...
The paddle shifters are nice to have. It’s a shame they’re not as chunky (not sure if it’s still magnesium) like they were on the earlier Sports, but it’s a minor thing. Really enjoying mine.
As I got this car as rental I feel nice driving it compared to my old car . I like the blue and the fast acceleration when u floor it
I’ve never seen this car in the road, maybe I did but never noticed it.. I did a test drive few days ago and I love it! Strange why it’s not everywhere like the other cars!! That somehow worries me 🤦🏻♀️
Because of the back looking like an Aztek is all. There is nothing wrong with the car. It needs more hype.
@@neikystephenso8094 yeah I bought it 2 years ago and I'm happy with it 😅
No dude, the light up and down button is not for fog - it’s for towing ! If your trailer pushes the rear down, you want to drop your lights so you don’t blind oncoming traffic.
It’s been a month and a half since I purchased mine and I love it. I got the turbo engine and it flies. Very good gas mileage as well with ECO feature.
Glad to hear it 😁👍
What did you go with? Se/ge I'm in Missouri the price is about 28k I think..I'm interested but I'm not sure at 30k
I own a 2wd with manual transmission. The exterior got me because i dont like the cars you see on every corner. Mine trim level is like between entry and mid level. The 163ps engine is great. The handling is still good with 16" alloys and sh*tty tyres thanks to the high quality suspensions and strut bars. Simply, when you hit the gas you enjoy. But still some investment on wheels like 18" wheels and uhp tyres is needed. After that i will consider changing the springs as well.
How can someone be okay with that this car I named after one of the best 2 door sport compacts of all time. HOW. It's so disrespectful of the eclipse heritage. A cross over suv. What a time to be alive
Gee, you're reading a bit much into a car name.
Mitsubishi is the best.😍
The tail of this car has grown on me
We bought the top of the line 2WD (called Exceed in Australia) and love it. It's the perfect size for our small family of 3. We drive from our semi-rural neighbourhood into the city 5 days a week and some freeway driving on weekends. The trim levels and design were what attracted us to the Eclipse Cross. I personally love the rear tail light/ split window. We've been super impressed with performance and handling though it can get thirsty (we rarely use eco mode) . The CVT is better than most (sounds like old school auto) which is good considering there's no manual option for this trim level. We would consider a second one in the future.
How is the car 1 year on?
Comparing the styling of any vehicle to the Pontiac Aztek is the kiss of death. :)
Aztek is now considered a cult classic with alot of enthusiasts looking for a used one.
Looks beautiful. The engine are quite reliable.
Nice looking car, same colour as my Tucson. While the back is different compared to others I think it looks quite sporty. I hear that the manual version has better performance. :-)
Glad to hear you like it! I can imagine it is lol. Thanks for stopping by as always Andrew! 😁👍
Don't believe this was offered in a manual, not in the US anyway.
Andrew K. NI Better than Tucson. I rather have a reliable car than Hyundai defective engine -- “Hyundai, Kia reach $760M settlement over engine fire lawsuit
Owners will receive cash settlements and plenty of other additional safeguards for over 4 million vehicles with the affected engines.”
i hope we have this car in the philppines
The brightness switch controls the brightness of the Head Up Display.
I love the light across
Looks beautiful!
6:30 - Interior brightness control. That didn't do anything for you because that's not what the button is for. It's with the HUD controls because (from left to right) they are HUD brightness control, HUD open/close and then the HUD angle. Hope that helps.
I enjoyed the review. Thank you.
...Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross owner :-)
James McGrandles thank you 😁
Great review & nice car bro..😀👍
Actually the shift paddles are useful at overtaking or when you need a quick boost.
Waiting the redesign... new front, and especially new back with visible exhausts.
I have the base and my seat was also uncomfortable, my solution is to set it Ken Block style very upright, and set the lower at its highest position so i get the most lower back support and i like it now
I'm a Mitsubishi 3000GT Twin Turbo AWD 400HP owner and I bought this 2019 CUV Eclipse Cross, I have to say mitsubishi done a great job on it except the rear end, it looks unique but not nice. The engine is nice but a bigger amount of horsepower is needed, like 280HP combined with the CVT and SAWC system will make it awesome daily driver.
The more hp & torque you put on the JATCO CVT8 the more stress it has to deal with shortening its lifespan. That's why all Mitsu models are considered underpowered including my 2014 Mirage at only 74 hp and torque. Mitsu engineers would rather you get 200k miles out of your CVT than a bump in speed and power. Nissan went the opposite direction with the exact same CVT and have some serious reliability issues.
@@kylemas2005 maybe I should do a sequential gearbox.
@@Hunikengt Mitsu is one of the last manufacturers in the states that offer 5speed in their CUVs. You can still get a manual for the Outlander Sport, Mirage, or Mirage G4. If you go CVT though get a Mitsu or Suzuki not Nissan. Toyota's Aisin CVTs are reliable but the mpg is mediocre.
@@kylemas2005 I bought a new Eclipse Cross 2019 AWD CVT8
@@Hunikengt Great purchase! You'll be pleased with its reliability. Just remember to change the CVT fluid with OEM fluid every 30k miles, this is critical in extending the life of your CVT! And be aware there's not much of an aftermarket parts for newer Mitsubishis which kinda makes the cars dealer reliant. The good news is Mitsubishi are pretty well made so you shouldnt have to worry about expensive parts for years.
The Mitsubishi Toaster. Honestly, as a Lancer owner it's so sad to see where this company went. It really shouldn't have anything to do with the Eclipse in my opinion. Great review though!
I feel the same way! Thank you very much!
@@PrimeAutotainment Mitsubishi has completely turned their sales around since 2014. Twice winning fastest growing Asian brand. Mitsubishi is back for niche market.
Loving my lil 2014 Mirage. Nothing but simplicity and reliability for me after 60k hard ubering miles.
@@canadianplanespotter Sigh.....no its not. Your just trolling, spreading misinformation because you hate yourself. Get a grip Habib.
@@kylemas2005 Okay, thanks for your insightful analysis. You failed to make a valid argument, goodbye.
I reviewed one of these in the UK in my channel. All engines are the same. 1.5 Litre turbo petrol with 160 BHP. I had a top of line one to review. 4WD with 18 inch black wheels. Head up display, two sunroofs. Automatic. Drove smoothly though I thought a lack of sat nav to be very annoying. In the sat navs place was location a GPS coordinates. The touch pad is slow to use and better in rival vehicles. Anyone interested in knowing about this from a UK perspective, check out mine. I compared it against the Qashqai/Rouge Sport.
I really like this vehicle
This car can be the urban’s people drive
When will Mitsubishi ever change that on the back? So dumb. We all bet they could sell even more if they redesigned the back end.
It’s rear wheel, front, all ? It’s electric or gas?
Two finger on the touchpad adjusts volume!
I own a 2018 Outlander Sport, and I do like it. However, I'm concerned with the resale value.
The problem with Mitsubishi, they don't make their vehicles look beefy, sexy or really cool, that's why you don't see them on the highways.
I definitely prefer the front but the back isn’t my cup of tea. I think that trim is well quipped but the lower trims sound anemic. I don’t like the CVT either.
I’m with ya! I’d like to see a little more targeted effort from Mitsubishi but this will please some people. Thanks for the support 👍👍
Mitsubishi has way less documented evidence of premature CVT failure vs Nissan. And they both use the JATCO CVT7 & CVT8. Programming, light curb weight, low hp & torque mean everything when it comes to CVT reliability.
@@kylemas2005 that just isnt true transmissions fail due to driver error
@@aayonce4 Im sorry what isnt true exactly? Please elaborate.
How can u tell a manufacturer's sponsored road test from an independent one?
Kerry Parks if anyone is sponsored it should be made known up front. I don’t have any sponsored videos. The manufacturers don’t ask me to say anything or say anything about each review.
They messed up calling it an eclipse. Just because people automatically think it will have at least 275 horsepower.
I'm a Mitsubishi fan, you can't compare Mitsubishi reliability with korean cars, Mitsubishi has heritage about quality. Their engines are for ever.
Only in the states is Mitsu reliability underrated oddly.
Ive got a Mitsubishi asx 2020 exceed with a 2 litre engine and around town ive had 39 mpg .
Although it has a CTV, tests have proven that is quite competitive off road.
I just want to say the cargo area and hatch opening are way bigger than my Nissan Rogue Select this is also a lot wider than my rogue is.
Hey, I got my own and my dealership gave me a price of 43,000. I was wondering if he’s ripping me off? If so what do I do about it.. (I just got the vehicle today)
Never seen one on the roads anywhere yet. I’m thinking it’s not selling or people who actually bought it not trying to be seen in this.
I don’t think they should’ve called this the eclipse either. Just what the bloody hell going on with Mitsubishi and why they went this route with it? Mitsubishi was a brand that a lot of people loved and respected especially from the days of the 3000gt, original real eclipse and other gens before it got turned into such a trashy sad attempt of an suv, and the awesome lancer evo.
They just did away with all the greatness. Mitsubishi now is just...bleh now.
They still exist 🤔
I agree, the front end is decent, but the rear is 🤐
Anyway, great review my friend 👍
Thank ya sir! Seriously about still existing though lol
Love it beautiful I want one
Mitsubishi is sad. Why can’t they be the company they used to be!?! This I guess makes sense for someone who needs a point A to point B SUV, but it should come at a $25,000 price point, loaded, not $32,000 +. At the price, you’re talking Forester Limited. That’s going get you more room, more capabilities, better comfort, probably better mpg, better quality, more safety tech, and a much better resale value. It seems that Mitsubishi has taken off where Suzuki left off selling cars because they will finance pretty much anyone. That being said, the overall design isn’t bad (although they could have done better with the rear end). The interior could use more pizzazz especially for the money. They have seemed to put a lot of features in there, but some odd omissions and cost saving are definitely there. Probably not going to be a big success story for Mitsubishi. Great review as usually though!
You said it well! This vehicle puzzles me. They tried to make it interesting...but it’s definitely not lol. Like you said I’d much rather go for the Forester for the money they are asking. I honestly rarely ever see one of these on the road. Thanks for stopping by as always!
Prime Autotainment Me neither. I’ve only seen a few. Although our local Mitsubishi dealer got shut down due to fraud. Lol. The depreciation alone is enough to avoid them. I watched a 2018 Outlander Sport SEL with leather and 24,000 miles on it sell for $12,000 at auction yesterday. That’s at least over half off from what it cost new.
Tigerfan 82 yikes lol that’s terrible...both the fraud and resale value lol
@@tigerfan8244 there's a reason Mitsubishi sales more than Subaru in terms of global sales it's because Subaru is trash.
Subaru reliability is a joke to me. My old 2004 H6 3.0 cost me thousands to keep it running. Bad crankshaft sensor, burned oil, failed seat motor, expensive tire replacements, outrageous prices for parts, headlights going out every 6 months, shitty mpg, and I only had 144k miles on it. I downgraded, got a Mitsubishi Mirage and couldnt be happier. Cut my fuel costs in half, cheap to maintain, cheap to own, cheap to insure, great simple little car.
Everyone says it's a small suv. In fact it's taller than the hyundai tucson
it's very nice car
Does the touchscreen have navigation ??
I wonder if lovle Mitsubishi eclipse better or hundai tousaan
"The display is nice but it's not that nice"😂
the paddle shifters don't work?? Are you absolutely sure about that?
The transmission doesn’t have gears...so anything you do with the paddle shifters is “simulated” and it’s not very responsive to input
I have this car anyone know how to put subwoofers in with a screen radio?
I love the colour i HATE THE SPLIT in the rear window
Is it weird I just got an Eclipse Cross ad?
That isn’t interior brightness it’s HUD brightness
Whoops!
Current Mitsubishi's have a whimpey looking stance. They don't sell well because of the front and rear designs, plus they look whimpey.
Is the boot big enough for a labrador dog?
My German shepherd fits,She Doesn't have much room though to move around or fit much else.
Too many complaints and negatives to get a good observation.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse cross should be 22 to the city and 33 miles per gallon
I wish people would do a real review. This guy is wrong on his numbers and this car is better than he talks about
What numbers specifically? Compared to a lot of vehicles at this price point...it’s below average
Prime Autotainment I own a brand new 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse cross LE S-AWC. I get the advertised city mpg, but highway I’ve gotten over 40+ mpg. The CVT is faster at “shifting” than most people. I got quicker from 0-60 with it in auto than I could even do in manual.
The car really shines, when you take it out of eco mode, and give it a go, it will stay in the “gears” a hair longer and it keeps that little turbo right in the sweet zone.
Oh and the brightness adjustment next to the hud control is for the hud brightness. The interior dash lights are dimmed or brightened with the push button at the right side of the instrument cluster.
Now I’m not here to bash your review, I just would like to see someone read the owners manual before they do a review and get everything correct. It even tells you how to get the most out of the engine and CVT.
It even states that in hot weather that it’s recommended to run premium fuel. I had a week in the 90’s and filled up with 93 octane and power and torque is really good. Have to remember this vehicle you can get fitted with a towing package.
Prime Autotainment now as far as hp and torque numbers I’m still researching the specs to programs into my Torque app and comparing to Dashcommand app which initially gave me hp numbers of over 230hp on a rolling start off the line.
People need to stop crying about petty creature comfort's. If you all that crap. Go but an alway's in the shop, benz. Their is mean to be an affordable comfy vehicle. To many petty gripes. 😔
The Mitsubishi Kicks?
Mitsubishi Aztek
How does this car get less mile per gallon than my 03' Rav4??
Good question lol
XxGhost141xX lol
Plastic flip up screen is so sad. Looking forward to 25K subs! By lumber support is a deal breaker for me.
Thanks Leo me too! Once I get to 25k I’m supposed to get access to Jeep Dodge Ram stuff. By the way...do you have any requests of vehicles or brands?
Prime Autotainment No requests - just lovin’ all the content - I am very new to all this so it is all good to me. So exciting to see the younger generation make their way in life for us older folks.
I am such a goof - that was suppose to be - no lumbar support. Autocorrect is so annoying.
Leo the short guy I have some Teri ke autocorrect sometimes too (like that was supposed to be terrible). I appreciate you watching everything!
Can you do the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro 2ss
I should be able to soon! 😁👍
yawn. another car company that now just makes cars to help you get from point a to point b. Mitsubishi used to make cars that made you look forward to going from point a to point b.
my mom has it
Something tells me Mistubishi is about to head the way of Suzuki. IMO, the brand has been going down hill slowly since the cancellation of the Lancer and Galant. I can appreciate where they were trying to go with this vehicle, but a pretty package won't last long when the crap inside is exposed, e.g; lack luster power, simi-smart keyless entry and useless paddles on a CVT trans. Definitely wouldn't get a second luck from me. Nice review as always though. P.S. I just bought the '19 Rav4 Ltd.
Suzuki is the most profitable car company in the world. They arent flashy but they do have bullet proof reliability.
22Kevi , I hear ya...it’s disappointing that there falling behind other brands considering what they’ve offered.
That’s awesome in the Rav4!! How are you liking it so far...nice choice with the limited too 😁👍
It's awesome, I got the AWD Trim, it's missing a few extras, i.e., the Pano sunroof and JBL sound system, but tbh, you really don't need those things, unless you really want them. The standard six really packs a big enough punch. As for the AWD, I was aprehensive, but it's really not bad, I'm getting the same MPG I was getting with the FWD I traded. Only bummer is, I found out I have a nail in my tire today, so I have to get that fixed, will probably be a new tire, but I have road hazard coverage, thankfully!
Mitsubishi just moved its main headquarters from Ca to Tn and they are updating their dealerships. They are doing much better lately for sure. I highly doubt they leave the US. Now if they'd just ship us over some Triton pickups!
Do you read news articles? Mitsubishi was voted fastest growing Asian brand twice since 2014. Mitsu is making a nice comeback.
c'mon that stupid thing in the back ruins the car. How many sales have they lost with that pontiac aztec type stupidity?
N N it’s not that bad it’s kinda nice it’s enough to block those a**holes that ride you with high beams on.
I have this car In uk spec this reviewer is just finding something to say it has few faults all minor fuel is about 30 mpg if you really want the Best Buy a Range Rover
I’ve driven several vehicles in this price range and this was far from the best. Not bashing it...just being real with it just like every other vehicle I drive. If you get 30 mpg with this then you’d get 35 mpg with something else in the class.
I like ut
Punda
Disgrace
DO NOT BUY MITSUBISHI Everything that's isn't vr4 awd, aws, turbo or rwd turbo or fwd turbo from Mitsubishi that's not called galant ,legnum, gto, 3000gt, mirage, starion or evo is garbage.
And must be red!
Whoever designed this must have been the same idiot that designed the hideous Pontiac Aztec. Because the rear end of this cars is screaming Pontiac Aztec. Not as hideous as the pontiac but still ugly and needs to drop the Eclipse name.
GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE..
That car looks absolutely disgusting
Why Mitsubishi. You just turned your beloved car into a crossover? WHHHYYY!!!!!!!!!
Uhmmm... Because most people buy suv or crossovers...??
