Great review as always with crisp filming. Just a few pointers: The engine is the same as featured in the previous gen Outlander, so combined power outputs are 158KW and 383NM. There is a digital display, it's just on the small head-up display which rises above the steering binnacle and to get an albeit, slightly quicker 0-100kph time, put the Eclipse into TARMAC mode.
@@TheHayabusa09 Thanks. I tried all modes, this was the quickest time. From memory the different modes made no significant change; they don’t release more power or anything like that. Keep in mind the video is just a video, not actually timed runs. I do the Vbox testing separately, multiple runs 👍
I have driven the petrol model ,, the infotainment screen can definitely be improved , but most people will be using android auto anyway , i like the simple tile approach, it looks similar to a window phone tile layout. I have driven over some hills , it accelerates very good on steep hills. The cvt shifts like an automatic in the petrol version, so there is no constant droning of the engine. The cabin also has alot of space, i would definitely choose it over a corolla cross. The corolla cross is also good as well. The mazda cx30 offers less room inside , the mazda cx5 is the real competition for the eclipse cross But the 2.5 engine variant , definitely not the 2.0 version.
I think in this day and age we've become somewhat ageist in many ways, assuming in this case that vehicles that have been on the market for several years aren't worthy or that manufacturers can't charge accordingly for their products. Coincidentally I've recently driven an Eclipse Cross PHEV and it's ICE variant, clearly the PHEV is preferable however this vehicle does everything it's designed to do quite well, it's not designed to be a sports vehicle and yes it's coming to the end of its generation life span with the announcement of its successor imminent. Considering the improvements and updates Mitsubishi Motors has made I was pleasantly surprised what a good overall package it is plus there's a ten year warranty too, however knowing Mitsubishi's durability and reliability and having that market leading warranty is not probably that useful other than giving one peace of mind. I was hoping to see the HUD display in use because I forgot to use it myself when I recently drove this vehicle too. The drivetrain is deceivingly quiet and very refined as pointed out, and that I guess is what consumers are paying for, yes it has a roomy comfortable cabin and is also crammed with safety features but for me it was mostly about the drivetrain, we drove the PHEV variant for five days and didn't have to top up any fuel whatsoever. A surprisingly good package overall based on my experience. I definitely would've loved to have seen this vehicle driven as a rally car.
@@stevenalexander403 Haha, missed opportunity. Yeah I switched the HUD off. Great technology, personally I just don’t like it. I find it a bit distracting on the eyes, on any vehicle. But I love the idea of it and usually praise it in reviews etc.
Feel like it’s a good basic car for people who don’t want heaps of tech atleast on the interior The idea of phev is definitely there, a bit more range and you’ll barely use the petrol engine in daily use This vehicle has vehicle to home capability too but apparently it’s pretty useless at 1500w Still, I can’t imagine paying 16k(?) more than the normal petrol just to save a bit on fuel unless there’s a rebate of some sort
Pricing is insane compared to a BYD Sealion PHEV that is the size of an Outlander and is so much better equipped. MG4 for half the price is a much better deal if you’re gonna be plugging it in, if not just a Corolla Cross Hybrid if you need the engine for long remote trips.
the eclipse cross is expensive compared to a Chinese equivalent, but the chinese equivalent does not have Mitsubishi reliability and warranty, You paying less but will pay more in the long run, the sea lion 6 only gives 3 years warranty on the infotainment and shock absorbers. There is already a sealion 7 out , the models change very quickly, you will end up in difficulty for parts sooner or later , Mitsubishi taking long to change models works out in the favor of the owner, it means 1 model has a long life cycle for parts even after warranty.

I think the save electric power feature is of benefit for countries that only allow electric/low emission cars in certain areas.
@@mleolv426 Good point

Are the specs correct? As in seriously, damn near 2 tonne !!
It's dated alright. And at $56.5K, I was taken aback.
BOOOOO, where is the rally test going sideways Bret, like you did with the ASX?
Seriously the Eclipse Cross is fine for what it is.
@@351tgv Lol, more rally tests. Noted.
