Is the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a worthy competitor?

[@antoniogonzales7144]

I just bought a 2023 Eclipse Cross yesterday and I love it ❤❤❤

[@haoranyu7250]

Jealous...

[@nightdrive2646]

On a trip I drove 407.3 miles (100% highway driving) and it took 13.6 gallons to fill up in my 2022 Eclipse Cross SEL w/touring package. This averaged 29.9mpg and with a 16.6 gallon tank, still had 3 gallons of gas remaining in the tank. A year and a half after purchasing, the Eclipse Cross has been trouble free.

[@overdrive_reviews]

That’s awesome!!

[@dovpauzner5093]

Mitsubishi Ecipse Cross except a incredible design is very comfortable and reliable car.

[@halfclappertopchedda]

These vehicles are great. With inflation an affordable car is what people care about most. The amazing reliability and warranty is a plus. Youre not cross shopping this with an audi or lexus. Owners know what they're getting for this price and most of them are more than happy with the product. Good review

"Is the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a worthy competitor?" - Yes !

[@ShahrukhKhan-rb5tq]

After watching your review I just booked this car today and I'm getting it after a week. hope everything goes well because this is going to be my first experience with Mitsubishi,

[@joksy8660]

How's the fuel consumption and overall experience dear bro

[@maint4reels]

How is the experience so far?

[@randalmcmurphy9237]

8.2 s, 0-60 mph is actually pretty good for the segment. The Toyota Corolla Cross has a 0-60 mph that's over 10 s, same with the new Honda HRV. And most of the leather in the back seats is real, since Mitsubishi says "leather appointed."

[@overdrive_reviews]

Mehh it’s decent but, it’s a turbo engine - the two you mentioned aren’t! I thought this was a smooth power delivery, but could’ve had more oomph because of the turbo and “Eclipse” moniker.

[@nightdrive2646]

With the classic GS-T and GSX Eclipse's of the past, they did have 2.0 liter turbo engines, and were quick, but achieved only 19mpg city. So while I understand the criticism with the cross lacking some power, the Eclipse Cross does get 25mpg city and is WAY more refined than the older eclipse ever was. I currently own a 2022 Eclipse Cross and a 2009 Eclipse GT (3.8 liter v6), and previously owned 1st and 2nd generation eclipse's.

[@AlejandroArchila1]

I agree, 0-60 8.2s is just fine for the segment, no complains for me.

[@warcrabcyber9908]

I’ve owned one for 2 years no complaints it’s a great awd cuv which is backed by the best warranty

[@nightdrive2646]

My 2022 Eclipse Cross is now over 2.5 years old and still smooth & quiet and trouble free.

[@paulosalazar]

I have the 2020 version (after the redesign) and came here to see what has changed in the last couple years. From the video it seems pretty much everything is still the same. I am very happy with the car, as you said it is a very comfortable car.

[@Steve-uw5bf]

TLDR: This review is FIRE! Thank you! Solid review, thorough and objective on pros and cons...and yeah, I agree...at this price point relative to others' current pricing, it ALL matters. For me (not saying I'm right), if the EC can be had IRL for $5-8k less than same-equipped competitors, then okay: buttons and Win 95 UX, engine/wind noise, hard surfaces are more easily dismissed. FWIW, I owned a Mitsu ('93 Dodge Stealth 5MT - captive import of legendary 3000) for 10 years ('94-'03) and 100k+ miles and it ran like a top. Gorgeous in and out, amazeballs ergonomic interior (that starter button placement on Eclipse Cross, yeah, ummm WTH?!), was plenty quick and sporty for its weight (164hp or so) with an engine that purred like a lion when you punched it, had soft touch buttons and killer Mitsu stereo with 10-band equalizer - and it was the friggin' *base* model, go figure. Stupid comfortable all_the_time, still my favorite 10-hr+ road trip car ever (great, simple, manually tuned lumbar support standard on base model then!) and I've owned pretty nice Acuras, GMs, Hondas in the interim. Context: chintzy bean counters have taken over Mitsu after unfortunate accounting scandals of past decades - not current management's fault, though - Mitsu got left holding the bag after MB/Chrysler divorce (that marriage should've never happened!) and have never quite recovered...but I digress! I do give them credit for maintaining a US presence, sadly more than we can say for Suzuki which was also a value-prop car brand...my wife owned an XL-7 w/ 100k wty...which was a very capable/nice ride until about 90k when it started giving up the ghost - that warranty was MUCH needed! For me, the value isn't_quite there with EC vs. Toyota, Honda, etc. but everything is crazy expensive now. Likely still WAY better quality than Hyundai/Kia craptasms. Don't misunderstand me, fanboys, I'm also a big Mitsu supporter even with current shortcomings.This is, after all, the company that cared enough to bring us the Starion ESI-R, 3000 GT VR-4, Lancer Evo, etc. - a simply incredible (!) history of cutting edge tech, performance and styling that rivals and/or surpasses any other non-boutique major brand! Great and thoughtful review once again, I can tell you're a true car guy and care about quality everything...thanks for taking the time and effort. It really shows in your writing, delivery, cohesiveness and production values. Sorry for my long post, I just love to talk cars! Liked and subscribed! 👍

[@overdrive_reviews]

I haven’t tested the Crosstrek! Not sure about that one. Thanks for watching :)

[@racineurr.8924]

Went to see one at dealer. I fell in love with the body but I found the interior very old style like this 2023 was a repeat of 2022, 2021 and so on. That was a major let down for me. But the body in red color has the wow factor. I really have mixed feelings but in a nutshell, I was a bit enthusiastic.

[@HFSswfl]

Are you sure this doesn’t have apple car play??? Our 2023 does 🤷‍♂️

[@dgallart9083]

Hello and thank you for all the information you provide in this video, my question for you is which one you consider a better option, the Eclipse Cross or the Corolla Cross? Thank you very much for your answer.

[@overdrive_reviews]

I’ve never driven the Corolla Cross! Can’t really weigh in there. Toyota is a higher-quality product, most often, and has a higher resale value. They’re also generally more reliable. On the other hand, Mitsubishi has an incredible new car warranty - 10 year/100K miles. And you get a lot of bang for your buck as far as amenities, tech and AWD systems.

Able to get Standard features like rear camera, nice music 🎵, 18” tires(if possible),

[@overdrive_reviews]

Thanks Richard! And wheww that’s a big ask. My only thought would be a big Sprinter van from Mercedes or the Dodge Ram Promaster. Do some Google-ing, lots of great info out there. Can’t go wrong with the Sprinter, tho!

Please advise the Air Bags distribution, and also the Speakers System. Also, please confirm that the base model has also all wheel Super Control. Many thanks and regards.

[@jamesmaccari9128]

Where did you get your mpg numbers? I see 25/26 and Mitsubishi says the seats are leather. You do great reviews but your irritations are not the norm as I owned many Mitsubishis and many luxury cars but I trust Mitsubishi vehicles for long drives as they are very reliable and very easy to maintain yourself. My beef is the EC. Competes with the Outlander ES price wise which makes no sense. Now the Sport competes price wise as well. Makes no sense. I always keep a Mitsubishi around for my everyday driver ... Simple and basic. Some of us like that.

[@juanvaldez3515]

Good bang for the buck! Agree the radio tacky 1995 😃 for a company that knows electronics well. They should upgrade Tom Tom to 2022 model. A cheap recall would do it. CVTs are not good for a turbo no Maserati. The styling is great. Honda CRV and RAV 4 more $ and tired look. Cross bettervisibility S/AWD extra on others

[@yamil.343]

I’m surprised it doesn’t have Apple car play. My Mirage has it & I have the basic model 🤔

[@warcrabcyber9908]

From my experience the eclipse cross is insanely quiet , you barely hear the engine at all. You literally have to floor the pedal to hear the engine. It's definitely more quiet than a rav 4. It also has better acceleration than the corolla cross its competitor as well as the Honda hrv. 0-100 in 8.6 seconds is good enough acceleration. This Is not meant to compete with a Ford mustang or other sport cars. Other nice touches are lights on the door handle, lights in the door pockets. It's a nice cool effect at night.

[@javieriraheta3940]

Do you recommend over a for example Ford Escape SE 2022? I have this Eclipse or Escape as options

[@warcrabcyber9908]

@Javier Iraheta I definitely recommend the eclipse cross over a ford escape. Ford eco boost engines have alot of problems. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for long, go with the eclipse instead. It's made in Japan and have a high build quality.

The problem with this car is that Mitsubishi doesn't want to offer more than competitors in its class, just the same. Shouts of me too, me too. Why would anybody want to buy it, when its competitors. i.e., Toyota offers a vehicle with decades of proven reliability and better resale value as compared to a similar Mitsubishi vehicle.
