2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 1.5 AWD CVT Diamond | Auto Review | Switzerland | Episode 97 [ENG]

[@hansshell6792]

Ordered my Mitsubishi last week, can't wait for it to be delivered :)

[@nouralnajjar5804]

Hi Hans, I'm planning to buy one now. How is your experience with your Mitsubishi so far?

[@yamil.343]

I’ve seen several reviews. Yours is by far the most comprehensive & enjoyable. Also I’m a Mitsu fan & really like the Eclipse. And your country looks beautiful. Hope to visit one day 😊

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I appreciate your feedback and kind words.

[@eddievillar4279]

Love the looks from the front, and the rear was great very unique and no issue with my vision, . Engine strong enough to left the cars behind just push the turbo. Interior was decent. Driving very comfy. Great innovation and modern appearance. I bought one.

[@donniegray2074]

I just bought one too and I absolutely love it!

[@kendelion]

I work in mitsubishi okayama that's why i watched this. Thanks for the review!

[@AutoReviewCom]

That’s great. I am happy you liked the video and even more so as you work for Mitsubishi. Maybe you can share the video with your co-workers and boss. Would love to come to Japan one day and maybe even visit the factory. I’m sure it’s very interesting. Regards.

[@265308]

when is Mitsu N NISSAN gonna release the next Mitsu sport coupe?

[@kendelion]

Yes i actually sent them the video, but they dont speak English so i have to translate for them lol

[@kendelion]

The Eclipse Sports Coupe? I dont think it's gonna be soon though. They have to make up for the huge loss by selling hot cars like suvs that takes up huge market shares before they sell sports car that only a few people buy. Mitsubishi used to make lots of sports cars in the 90s and forgot to make boring cars like Toyota did.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Still, that's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. If I would be able to speak Japanese, I would try, but unfortunately I can't. Thanks for your comment and hope they still enjoyed it despite the language barrier.

[@AndrewKNI]

Great review Patrick. The Eclipse is quite stunning. Love the design, very upmarket. Even the CVT is excellent. Hope to see it in the metal soon.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thank you. It was a great car, with some thoughtful ideas (heating, wipers, movable backseats). And the price seems to be very fair and a good deal.

[@gary2880]

Great review and what a fantastic vehicle from Mitsubishi. I'm in UK I think this will be my next Car at end of 2018, just hope they keep price reasonable.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Appreciate it. The car was a actually really good and considering the value for money in combination with the engine and variability I would recommend it.

[@gunscratch]

Best review by far on the Eclipse Cross that I've seen, thanks. I test drove one the other day and loved it and I cannot understand what other reviewers have against the cvt, I think it's brilliant. I guess if you're some stick-shift petrol head who loves driving sports cars you mightn't like it but for real world SUV driving where 95% of the time you're on tarmac personally, I think it's great. It's nimble, smooth and quiet without much body roll and looks fab. I thought the rear end might be an issue but it's really not. The only thing is, compared to my current Outlander, the boot is considerably smaller; I doubt I could get my bicycle in without removing the front wheel. But for everyday use for myself and my partner and the dog, I think it's a lovely car so I've decided this will be my next vehicle and have ordered one.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thank you very much. The thing with most CVT transmissions is that they don't seem to work properly. This one however surprised me and I would actually count myself as one of those petrol manual stick driving heads (as you mentioned ;-) ) as I drive a manual hot hatch. But I do appreciate a good automatic, especially as everyday car for commuting. I doubt you could fit the bike in the car without removing the front wheel, just from the height it might be too low. Wish you always save drives with the new car once it arrives. cheers

10 years warranty? In which Country?

[@z3r0slugfm]

Watching this in 2020, that flight line looks like a beautiful spot to land/take off from in MS Flight Simulator 2020. Great review

[@th-l8936]

One of your best videos! Keep them coming ☺️

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thanks a lot. What did you like most about it? Cheers

[@th-l8936]

Auto Review I love the detail you go into, for instance, when you were talking about the navigation and data package. You go into more depth than any other reviewers. Plus, I really like this car. Keep the videos coming!

[@AutoReviewCom]

Ok, that’s sound good to me. If I get some details like this it helps me in future productions. Cheers

[@vdobrovo]

Very nice comprehensive review, I just bought the same car, white color and top trim level: GT as its called in Canada. Will pick it up in in couple if days. And yes, I really like the design!!!

[@nouralnajjar5804]

Hi Vdobrovo, I'm planning to buy one now. How is your experience with your Mitsubishi now?

[@vdobrovo]

@@nouralnajjar5804 hello, overall … I’m very happy with my Eclipse!! Looking forward to snowy winter in Canada to feel like a king on an ice roads. Also, it never broke or let me down since I got it in 2019… I wish you a good reliable purchase!!!👍👍👍

[@nouralnajjar5804]

@@vdobrovo thank you so much for your reply! I live in the Netherlands and planning to buy it next month.

[@vincentmccafferty6270]

Get mine in March looking forward to it ❤️

[@AutoReviewCom]

Great, enjoy and always a safe drive.

[@madworldproductions855]

Just got one, I got the most base model that still had all wheel drive because I live up in a place that gets snow now and last winter was my first winter here and my two wheel drive car got stuck in the snow 3 times

[@rala5762]

getting mine today.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Congrats! Stay safe and enjoy!

[@hg57722002]

背景音樂真好聽，介紹的也不錯。

[@tony6838]

When you use Android Auto navigation like Waze or Google maps, can the HUD (head up display) show the turn by turn arrows and the distance to the turn ? Can you give me a screenshot of this thanks.

[@johnnybegood6318]

good review! i didn't find any review about making a bed in the whole car moving back sits, removing head support and flating front sits. Is it posible? I want camping with a double airbed in the whole car

[@AutoReviewCom]

The front seats cannot be folded flat, so it won’t be possible. And you can see in the video as well that when you fold the 2nd row it has an incline so isn‘t flat towards the end.

[@chrischang7330]

You can't fold front seats but you can recline them until they are flat.

[@kemalaydogan8702]

Great video! Thank you very much for detailed review. Please let me know what was the song on start video?

[@Ionuteodorescu]

Wonderful review, covers everything. Well done! One question, ot: what's the intro song name? Can't find it... Thank you!

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thank you very much. Regarding the intro song, I would love to tell you, but it's just too long ago that I chose it and I really don't know anymore. Sorry for that.

[@Ionuteodorescu]

Auto Review no problem, after 10 attempts Shazam found it! Do you think you can manage a review of the Ds7? It is one of the cars I'm waiting for and there aren't that many videos on it.

[@AutoReviewCom]

It all depends on if the dealership where I get the cars from will have one or not. As I don’t get the cars from the PR department from the manufacturer but directly from a dealership in the region I live.

[@shabasik7575]

THANKS for the review. DO you know what types of seats do you get in each trim level

[@AutoReviewCom]

I believe there is only a difference between cloth or leather seats. There shouldn’t be any difference between the 3 trim levels.

[@YogaSusetya]

Great review! Still waiting this car arrives at my country, Indonesia. After watching this review, I have no doubt on the CVT cause I thought it's just like Honda's or another. Hope the diamond trim comes along also. It has the eclipse name! Dope!

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thank you. Appreciate your comment. Yes, the CVT in the Eclipse Cross is really good and not comparable to the ones with Toyota‘s or Honda‘s.

[@cheekeonglee2661]

Thanks Patrick for the great in-depth review! In fact, the best & most objective one I've seen so far on the Internet. You've earned yourself a new subscriber! :) I was actually concerned about all those negative reviews on the transmission provided by the CVT engine, until I read yours! I'm getting the 2WD variant (AWD not avail) in this part of the world (Singapore), and I'm 99.9% on urban tarmac roads, so I guess it'll work even more effectively & efficiently? I'm also concerned about a 1.5 Turbo engine driving such a relatively large & heavy car - it's like living on steroids? How long will it, and such last? As for the interior, the major grudge I have gotta be the head rests of the back seats. They are so low at the lowest point that it causes discomfort to my upper back, and I've to lift it up. But then the highest point is too high to look good & it's obstructing the driver's rear view. They should've allowed intermediate 'lockable' points for greater flexibility in the height adjustment. Also, the back seats seem to be too shallow to be able to support the substantial larger area of a passenger's back thighs (using myself - 1.72m tall - as a gauge). I also don't like the hard seat-belt catch recess between the centre & right seats. It hurts the bum sitting on it!! Other than all these, I hope to enjoy a great drive/ride when I get my hands behind the wheel of this all new car! (I did a short test drive on it days ago though..:)

[@warcrabcyber9908]

Good unbiased review, the first time I saw the eclipse cross i wondered what on Earth is Mitsubishi doing , but the look eventually grows on you. It's just different, it's not a Pontiac Aztec like people keep saying. The interior is best in class with the exception of rear AC vents which Mitsubishi seem to keep excluding in all their vehicles including the outlander. It's like an industry standard now. Even kia vehicles have rear AC. This looks much better than the juke, and is more comparable to the Toyota C-HR. With a futureristic design. It also beats the juke and C-HR in practicality. Mitsubishi needs to keep the price of this vehicle down. To compete with the Mazda cx3 and cx5, Vitara etc.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thanks a lot, appreciate your feedback. The thing with the look is actually exactly what it is. It grows on you and even the rear makes sense (as mentioned in the video). If you would like to see reviews of the Toyota RAV-4 (coming soon on my channel), the Maxda CX-3/5 (already online) or various different SUV's just check my other reviews. By now I have been able to review a wide variety of vehicles.

[@921553]

What is that small glass thing in front, on the top of the dashboard just right after the steering wheel? And what does it do?

[@AutoReviewCom]

It’s the head-up Display and it shows information on speed, rpm and more so the driver doesn’t have to look down from the street.

[@921553]

Auto Review that’s cool. Thanks for responding to my question. I am actually torn between this new Eclipse Cross and Ford Edge. I’m getting a new family vehicle soon and I don’t want to regret my decision. Budget wise I’m really into this Eclipse Cross but 1.5 engine is kinda makes me want to go for the Edge. Anyways, thanks again for the reply. Great review, you have a new subscriber here. 🤙🏼

[@AutoReviewCom]

I have reviewed the Ford Edge, however not sure if the video has been released in both English and German at that time. Regarding the 1.5l engine in the Eclipse Cross I really have to say that it is a really good one and you don't feel the smaller engine capacity. Thanks for your subscription. cheers

[@sarahmyint2062]

Do we have this kind in USA?

[@AutoReviewCom]

Don’t know, you should check their Website.

[@nazmul253]

It’s a very good review .

[@captnredbeard7073]

Watching this video in August of 2018 from Montana and I must say very nice video thanks. I am looking at the vehicle for purchase however I do not this we have this high end version in America. Either way great video!

[@TheJayant911]

An excellent review.

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thank you very much.

[@practicalrecommendation5478]

Excellent SUV and Design and all tech. ... ! Excellent review !

[@AutoReviewCom]

I think Mitsubishi did a Great Job with the Eclipse Cross. Thanks a lot for the good comment.

[@practicalrecommendation5478]

Yes, excellent car and cvt and S-AWC and tech. , etc. ! I real like design inside and outside + seat comfort and so on !

[@AutoReviewCom]

Sounds like you test drove one already.

[@practicalrecommendation5478]

I have reviewed a couple of introductions about this car. Your presentations about cars are competent and very good and the videos are of excellent quality! I've traveled with some cars through history and also with some Mitsubishi, and a couple of acquaintances have had Mitsubishi. I've heard a lot of praise for the Mitsubishi, and there are almost similar seats on this car with the L200 version (which is very comfortable for a long drive). Mitsubishi is quiet inside and does not snag anywhere (high-quality, like many more expensive cars) . The prospect of windows and mirror placement, controllability, maneuverability and technology, very good engines , etc. ... . There is ASX and Outlander , and This model is more compact, tech, design and sporty CVT ! When I wrote before and published a comment, there was one sentence missing! This sentence was not visible in the public post. Now I watched an hour later and now the sentence is visible! I have already commented a lot about various devices and many KZbin videos, and so many times before, that the published comment is not at all what I wrote! And whenever I write about it, my comments often disappear ...! Someone of the mysterious IP administrator will do what he thinks ...! Probably some kind of Russian spy time! If possible, check your comments in any case as well ... (maybe someone fake IP administrator will also block secretly your internet connection)! Your video shows me 21106 views / 120 up fingers / 5 down fingers and 17 commentators, with me!

Hello Gays, Great review. Can you please tel me name of song? Very good and interesting.Thank you.

[@AndroBoy17]

I find it very noisy. I have outlander and it is the same annoying issue with the noise. There is no good insulation of the CVT and the car itself. Nice design but the back lights create a terrible blind spot. Do not try to convince us that it is ok when obviously it is not. Also the engine is with Direct injection which may create you headache if you put not a good fuel. Other thing that annoys me is the screen. It is not easily reachable. Even on your video your body goes forward in order to reach it. I personaly prefer the phone google or apple maps for navigation. Going from one to other EU country it is not a problem because we have free internet accross the EU using our phone plans.

[@jenpelsen2486]

Great way to sunshine

[@AutoReviewCom]

What do you mean with sunshine?

[@ChrisChanIsJesusChristHimself]

People use navigation I haven't seen that feature in any new car

[@AutoReviewCom]

This solution with an inbuilt screen but no GPS I have seen in the new Ford Fiesta and other smaller cars. It makes sense there, here however I would prefer a fixed GPS without the mobile data solution.

[@ChrisChanIsJesusChristHimself]

Auto Review since pretty soon we wi have our cell phone as the display unit no more radio just the phone

[@AutoReviewCom]

I guess that's where the manufacturers are heading towards.

[@fredrik999z]

You can use offline maps in Google too so it should not be an issue driving through Europe. I think it is better to keep prices down and exclude inbuilt navigation system. It will be outdated very fast anyway.
