They may look similar, but when it comes to choosing between the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and the Hyundai Tucson, there are some critical distinctions you should know. See things up close at Peruzzi Mitsubishi, but for now, here are all the details.
Let’s start with comfort. The 2018 Eclipse Cross has specially-designed ergonomics that make driving a true pleasure. The standard heads-up display allows you to check on everything from speed to other warnings without ever losing your line of sight; you won’t find that in the Tucson.
On rainy or snowy days, the wipers on the 2018 Eclipse Cross adjust their speed automatically; not so with the Tucson, which require constant manual adjustments. Same with the headlights. The Eclipse Cross has sensitive light sensors that automatically switch between high and low beams as needed. You won’t find that convenience on the Tucson.
On the road, the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offers an optional Adaptive Cruise Control, which automatically alters your speed without constantly having to adjust for traffic. That’s a handy feature you don’t get on the Tucson.
When it comes to safety features, the Eclipse Cross includes standard airbags on all sides, traction control, lane departure warning, blind spot warning and much more. The SEL model of the Cross offers a Multi-View Camera that allows for seeing objects all around, and on a screen. In that regard, the Tucson only provides a beep or light flash when detecting objects within a limited area.
When it comes to driving power, the 2018 Eclipse Cross engine generates 33 lbs.-ft. more torque than the Tucson. There’s also a standard CVT (continuously variable transmission) that keeps the engine operating at its most efficient. On that same note, the Eclipse Cross gets better fuel mileage than the Tucson.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has also been designed with a wheelbase that offers a much smoother and more stable ride than the Tucson – especially off-road on tough terrain.
