2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross review

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

8.9/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross sits near the top of its class. Easy to see out of and park; standard driver-assist suite. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $28,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Good, not perfect

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★☆Nadia A. · Charlotte, NC · 28 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Replaced an older Mitsubishi with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
