The 2017 Geneva International Motor Show is on, and automakers have gathered to reveal their new models and concepts. Among them is the all-new 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross compact SUV, launching later this year. Rather than replacing any current Mitsubishi vehicles, it aims to fill a gap between the RVR and Outlander.
One important new addition is that the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comes with standard all-wheel drive. It also has a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a manual CVT (continuously variable transmission). A 2.2-liter turbocharged option will also be available overseas, but seems unlikely to cross over into the U.S.
With a forward-raked hatch, a crease along the side and new rear fenders, the Eclipse Cross’s exterior is new, but not radically so. Even with these changes, the vehicle still has that classic crossover look. Autoblog.com even said that the vehicle’s Mitsubishi shield grille might just be the best looking one yet.
On the inside, there is a redesigned slanting downwards center stack with radio, climate controls and more. A touchscreen on the dashboard that can link with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Rear seats can slide and recline, to give either your passengers or your cargo more room.
Although no official prices have been announced yet, the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is set to release in Europe this fall. Other regions, like the U.S., will soon follow.
