2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
Overview
It may not be the quickest or spunkiest small crossover, but the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross still delivers a relatively smooth and quiet ride, features that small crossover fans likely cherish. The Eclipse Cross is offered in four trims for 2025: ES, LE, SE, and SEL. All models feature all-wheel drive standard and a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with the major differences between trims unrelated to performance. The Eclipse Cross price, coupled with its quiet, comfortable ride makes it a practical choice for those in the market for a small SUV.
Who's It For?
The 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will likely appeal to budget-conscious buyers, hoping to nab a small crossover without the heavy price tag that comes with fully loaded vehicles. The Eclipse Cross provides a solid, smooth ride with little engine noise, even at higher speeds. It seats five, though as with most crossovers of this caliber, its rear seating doesn't feature expansive legroom or headroom. But that's to be expected. The 2025 Eclipse Cross has excellent fuel economy as well, making it an obvious choice for a commuter car.
