Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV in-depth review - Carbuyer

[@errolhanson749]

I test drove the 2018 Eclipse Cross and thats all it took. I drove it home for good, I love it !!

[@oddities-whatnot]

Errol Hanson most sensible people ignore reviews online. They are usually biased towards VW and Ford.

[@tomhill3205]

I always believe you need to test drive it and see for yourself instead of listening to these reviews and follow what they say. It's all personal choice and only use these videos as a guide

how's it held up?

[@dinocaushllari8881]

Ginny you talk about interior quality compared to the Peugeot 3008 but I don’t see you talking about reliability. 🤦🏻‍♂️ really!

[@shivneelrup3967]

The reliability of Mitsubishi can't be compared to your Peugeot 3008

[@Sailor92]

exactly

[@mrjuice24]

You review Mitsubishi car, but keep remind 50 times of Peugeot 3008. Do you work for Peugeot ? :)))))

[@oddities-whatnot]

First Name They probably promote certain brands depending on current popularity.

[@heisenbergheisenberg2028]

They didnt know how bad was the puretech 1.2 in the 3008 at this time 😂 Thruth became after 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidsweeney111]

Glad this model is capable of making perfectly smooth quite rapid progress

[@tonywhite6985]

Are you talking about the car or Jinny? ;-)

[@warcrabcyber9908]

The 1.5 turbo engine is adequate for a crossover. Why would you need more power? Also this is one of the best cvt transmissions to date. The CR-V is much bigger and also has a 1.5 turbo engine. It delivers more power but the CR-V is also heavier. The Peugeot 3008 looks great. but how will it's reliability fair compared to Mitsubishi that is known for reliability. The interior of the eclipse cross is the best Mitsubishi has done in years. It's unlikely you will be touching your dashboard often so why complain about the hard plastic that will likely age better than the other materials?.

[@oddities-whatnot]

warcrab cyber Peugeot are rubbish. I worked for a dealer selling them. Well known to be unreliable. They can never compete with Japanese brands.

[@nikopriest6762]

Thanks for the Peugeot 3008 review...sigh

[@heisenbergheisenberg2028]

😂😂😂 S/o. Puretech 1.2

[@zooks3894]

Mitsubishi is superior to the Peugeot 3008 in every way.

[@markmd9]

If this car is placed between asx and outlander I expected the price to be between asx and outlander :)

[@boyraven]

Ginny you are contradiction to car evaluation! For one you’re behind the times, people use their phones for nav and 6ft4” test riders have sat in the backseat and thought it plenty of headroom as well as the boot space was plenty since the backseat is movable. Moreover it rates high and superior to EURO crash test to the Peugeot 3008. So your 5’4” bod and your Peugeot w/out the safety bells and whistles this car has can move along!

[@phillipjones3439]

Why are you so obsessed with "hard plastics on the dash" give over and be relevant. Its an excellent car in every way.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Phillip Jones its annoying isnt it. My Suzuki is all hard plastics and I like that because it wont wear out. People are obsessed with soft touch crap, as if its a sign of reliability or something.

[@stephandolby]

I thought the C-HR was borrowing some of Honda's design language, but it seems the Eclipse Cross is too - the rear lights (and partly obscured rear screen) remind me of a gen 9 Civic, and the side windows the gen 8 Civic. Just a bit, mind.

[@tonywhite6985]

I prefer the way this car does the rear end over the Civic, but then they've had many years to refine it ;-)

[@WFU.Youtube]

I watch alot of these videos and I have commented this on everyone: I own this car!

[@luisbrandolb]

you would need the cost of that mitsubishi in maintenance and repairs for that peugeot

[@rabit818]

The silvery bits looks plasticky. Looks like it was painted with a spray can. Rear hatch is tall when it opens is great as long as your garage has high ceiling. Exterior styling is quite good.

[@alancarter8396]

Do you think she likes the Peugeot 3008?

[@tomheard7844]

Alan Carter I love my 3008

[@nikos5113]

The comparison between Peugeot and Mitsubishi is like a joke. Mitsubishi offers 10 year warranty in the US and is ranked among the most reliable carmakers in Germany. Plus it has all the safety package with very good interior quality. According to engineers, the Eclipse Cross is a masterpice. Top AWD and CVT systems. Go and get the 3008 because it has 3D cockpit.

[@tahsin28]

There's nth more I wud love to do than drive out mitsu out of my country. And also give Nissan 2years time to build a new coupe or suffer same fate Oh wat have they become from such a killer manufacturer

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

The market changed, it is not Mitsubishi's fault that consumers don't buy sports cars anymore. They need to make cars to make money with, that's how a company works in real life. Making a sports car just to please a few enthusiasts would only make them go bankrupt.

[@talk2xeqnat]

I find this review Very biased, what has Peugeot 3008 got to do with this SUV, This is still best SUV hands down!

[@vladonikolchev]

Hello, how shall I "..avoid the unpleasant CVT automatic gearbox" in case I need the petrol engine model with 4WD? :-) Do they offer the model with a petrol engine with 4WD and manual or A/T gearbox?

[@boy638]

Only way to lift the car's image is to bring it rallying!

[@oddities-whatnot]

I dont need to watch this video to know that it will be negative towards the Mitsubishi, and probably a sales pitch for some other brand. Dreadful channel. Carwow is another one I cant watch. Similar, dismissive and very negative reviews, the presenter seems to actually make a joke out of some cars, unless its for so called fashionable, trendy brands. OSV Car Reviews and Car Obsession are the best two UK channels in my opinion. Great presenters, like Top Gear was in the very early days. Honest, positive reviews, telling us why you should buy that particular car, and not giving you loads of reasons as to why you shouldnt. Sales staff at your local dealer would be out of a job if they did that to customers.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Bertie G in what way ? You can either have it with 2 or all wheel drive, manual or CVT. It has plenty of space, and the higher seating position is good for people like me with a dodgy back. You are talking rubbish.

[@powershin12]

I rather have Hyundai/Kia, Honda, or Vauxhall

[@jdmguy44]

Donguk Shin Vauxhall? Really?!!

[@powershin12]

JDM Guy Oh come on..Vauxhall is better than Mitsubishi

[@jdmguy44]

Donguk Shin Vauxhalls are terrible! Corsa, Astra Vectra? Unreliable, poor to drive and given recent history a tendancy to go on fire (think Zafira and Corsa)! If you knew anything about cars you would know that Mitsubishi have produced some of the toughest and most capable off road cars ever like the shogun and amazing performance cars like the legendary evo models. They pioneered 4ws systems on the gorgeous GTO back in the day. Mitsubishi engineering is legendary. Vauxhall were such an ailing company they are now in full control of PSA group but they churned out a lot of mass market rubbish when they were part of GM who were another joke baving had to be bailed out by the US government. Vauxhalls are fine for rental fleets.

[@powershin12]

JDM Guy You know, Vectra is long gone now. Anyway reason why I rather take Vauxhall than Mitsubishi is case in Britain. If I live somewhere like Indonesia or Vietnam, I obviously choose Mitsubishi. But in GB, Mitsubishi's dealership isn't that great compare to Vauxhall's or Honda's. Also ride quality of Vauxhall is much better than Mitsubishi which uses very old platform. I would choose Vauxhall if other car is Mitsubishi. If there's other brands like Renault, Mazda, Hyundai or Skoda, I will choose them. Vauxhall isn't a bad car. They're just boring. I think we have to wait some time for 'great' Mitsubishi.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Vauxhall ? So good that sales are falling and dealerships going over to Mazda instead.

[@willhands]

Why would anyone buy this over a 3008?

[@jdmguy44]

Will H Looks much nicer in my opinion than the 3008. Very smart and modern. Mitsubishi build quality and reliability is top notch, and this particular model is built in Japan which is the icing on the cake. The drivetrains are always excellent. Mitsubishi engineering is legendary and I would bet this thing will be running reliably long after a 3008 is starting to become troublesome and costly to run. So various reasons why I would personally have this over the 3008.

[@sirgalahad777]

S-AWC

[@michaelsimpkins5178]

The models you mention have small power outputs and hence the higher MPG. So it's an unfair comparison. One thing for sure is that the Mitsubishi will be more reliable than any of them

[@tonywhite6985]

That 1.0 litre Ateca never manages 50+ mpg in the real world. Our Vauxhall Zafira 1.4T gets nowhere near it's claimed MPG because of the small engine hauling around a large car.

[@utubeleplague]

Ginny aged better than those heated seats buttons from 20 years ago. I still watch her videos from M&M

[@vmitsios]

Headroom is great at the back..the model you review has a sunroof..obviously it takes some space....without it, its great...it would have taken you 3 seconds to mention it...nevermind, you probably have peugeot posters & french souvenirs in living room

[@MrGabrieldybas]

They do have a point. Smartphones have been around for years and Google maps is way more reliable and better looking than any sat nav. I can't understand why a Toyota CHR for example still doesn't have these phone connectivities

[@jdmguy44]

Saw one of these on the road and I have to say the styling is very smart in the flesh. The front end looks fantastic. Very sharp and modern. It nicely avoids the generic looks that most of its rivals are lumbered with.

[@muzictherpy]

interior is fantastic actually.. and looks as much better quality made then peugeots..

[@BOSS3ayed89]

Here to know about the car, not hear you marketing another car over and over again, have respect for time.

Mitsubishi build very reliable cars. . Even 300k kms it’s keep on going without a fuss

[@jdmguy44]

Buddhika Peiris Absolutely. Mitsubishi = engineering high quality.

[@ast5515]

The company barely exists. Let go of the past already. Doesn't matter how reliable it is if it's bad from the beginning and if the company behind it is bankrupt. Who is going to honor your warranty for example?

[@btpp12]

+ast5515 well now Mitsubishi merged with Nissan so no need to worry about future or warranty

[@ast5515]

Buddhika Peiris Fair enough. But Mitsubishi is dead for the moment. They are at least 5 years behind the curve on the of tech and powertrain development. And interior styling...

[@Dr23rippa]

@jas zg Same with Subaru! Must be a clue there.

[@wasifumer9656]

It seems she is here to criticize this auto lolzzz

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

LOL... mitsu over pegot anytime

[@markbradley2665]

Why does she only vs with the 3008

[@Coops4343]

I hired one of these for 10 days on New Zealand South Island and thoroughly enjoyed it. The 1.5 CVT was smooth and pokey enough whilst the handling and lack of body roll was ideal for the twisty mountain roads. All-in-all a much better car than UK motoring critics ever acknowledged.

[@alexeden7570]

Not going to lie I’m gutted they stopped producing family hatchbacks and saloons. Love my 50 plate Lancer and have no desire to own an SUV. It’s a bold move to stray away from their recent racing heritage. it’s good to see they’re still offering great value for money though they’re always cheap and reliable.

[@gogutzy]

[@hadez438]

This car is not an eclipse. I'm not sure what kind of drugs the employees at mitsubishi are taking to slap a name with history on a family SUV. This car was NOT neccessary as there is the Mitsubishi Outlander which fun fact is for going cross country and not to soccer practice.

[@ast5515]

1. Quality has NOTHING do to with materials used. Case and point: VW. 2. Boot is only avarage? The avarage of this class is almost 100 litres more. WTF?

[@jdmguy44]

ast5515 British car journalists have an obsession with soft touch plastics. But they don't seem to realise that in countries with extremely high temperatures and and lots of sunlight plastics that are a harder stand up better and are less prone to cracking. Soft touch plastics are not necessarily higher quality.

[@ast5515]

JDM Guy My problem lies elsewhere. Go sit in a VW Arteon. Feels high quality, right? Not really. Everything you touch creaks. I mean everything that isn't the steering wheel. Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Peugeot, Citroen and oddly enough Dacia build high quality interiors. Granted I don't know every model from these manufacturers, there might be a few models that are below avarage. But I was really surprised by the new Duster for example. Everything you touch is solid.

[@sazad2899]

I don't understand why people must compare to Peugeot 3008 when you're doing review on certain brands?I wonder how much Peugeot gave her undertable.I would sue her if I was from Mitsubishi.

[@mindfixer4you]

It must be one of the best cars for emissions judging by the way the exhaust is sucking the air in!

[@oddities-whatnot]

Another biased reviewer who spends all their time finding negative points instead of the positives. Imagine a car salesperson at your local dealer behaving the same way. They would be out of a job. "Don't buy this Sir because its not as good as a Peugeot" etc. Its not up to you to tell us what we should or shouldn't like about a car. She obviously doesnt like CVTs or even understands them. I have never had a problem with them. Worst car review channel on KZbin. I wouldnt subscribe if it was the only website available !
