Eclipse Cross

Prices for the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross start at $31,990 for the petrol ES, range up to $56,490 for the top PHEV Exceed, and vary by trim, drivetrain, and equipment chosen. “Mitsubishi eclipse cross price”, "PHEV price", and "for sale" are top buyer queries in the small SUV market. On-roads, paint choice, and accessories change the final drive-away. Leasing, demo, and novated lease discounts may be available, and government EV rebates help with PHEV cost. Always check with a local dealer for up-to-date pricing and discounts.

Official claims are 55km electric-only in city use; testers regularly see 35–50km before the petrol engine starts. “Eclipse cross PHEV range”, “electric only”, and "hybrid fuel use" spike in family and fleet FAQ. Plugging in nightly and using electric mode for commutes keeps average tank fuel use under 2L/100km. Without regular charging or on longer trips, fuel consumption climbs to 5–7L/100km depending on load and driving. City commuters report a stress-free EV-like drive in the daily grind.

The 1.5L turbo petrol gives 110 kW/250 Nm for brisk city/hwy driving (0–100 km/h in 9.0–10 seconds), while the PHEV offers a strong 157 kW/332 Nm with rapid torque from standstill (0–100km/h in about 10.5 seconds). “Throttle response is quick and smooth”, reviewers say (Bruce Newton, Carsales), and engine and gearbox tuning is smooth and quietly composed (Matt Campbell, CarExpert). The PHEV switches seamlessly between modes, feeling nimble in urban light. Acceleration drops on low battery for hybrid mode, but the back-up engine means no range stress.

Seats five adults or growing teens; boot is 405L (petrol), 359L (PHEV), or up to 1,100L with rear row folded. “Boot space”, “dimensions”, and "interior" are hot FAQ terms for shoppers planning school drops or weekend escapes. High ride height eases loading, and the flat rear floor expands flexibility for bulky items. Cabin comfort and visibility are well praised; rear vision pinched by the stylish rear glass. Kids, prams, bikes, and shopping are all handled with ease.

All new Eclipse Crosses are covered by a 10-year, 200,000 km warranty, including battery and EV elements on the PHEV, provided servicing is with a dealer. Service intervals are every 12 months/15,000 km with capped pricing for 10 years. "Warranty", “service cost”, and “battery warranty” are top concern queries for new buyers. Mitsubishi’s servicing network is one of the broadest in Australia. Roadside assist and a digital service history are included for all warranty years.

2020+ Eclipse Cross models come standard with AEB, lane departure warning, blind spot, rear cross-traffic, and a five-star ANCAP crash rating. “Safety rating”, "ancap", and “driver assist” are must-search for families. Top trims add surround cameras, adaptive cruise, extra airbags, and traffic sign recognition. Rear-seat child anchors are standard, and auto emergency braking works in both city and highway conditions. Parents say peace of mind is high for everyday use.

Yes—a standard 3.6kW EV charger or portable charger can refill the 13.8kWh battery overnight (~4 hours for a 0–100% charge), and CHAdeMO fast charging at compatible public stations can hit 80% in 25–30 minutes. “Eclipse cross charging”, "solar charging", and “EV charger” are trending for business buyers and home users. Solar-enabled chargers let owners maximise fuel savings. Mitsubishi’s smartphone app (PHEV) allows for timer-based pre-cooling/warming and charge scheduling.

Plug-in buyers generally use less than 2L/100km with regular charging, making it competitive with any hybrid or small EV on daily cost. Petrol-only versions are cheaper up front but average 7.3L/100km, with more engine noise and regular maintenance. “Eclipse cross value”, “fuel economy”, and "running cost" are top search terms. For high-mileage or family users, PHEV proves—if you charge nightly—the more economic and flexible choice.

All trims offer an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, digital radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and steering wheel controls. Aspires and Exceeds (and PHEV) add premium audio, heated seats, navigation, and a panoramic sunroof. “Infotainment”, "carplay", “touchscreen” and “features” are common queries. App and phone functions for PHEV owners improve pre-conditioning and battery cycle efficiency.

Recent owner data and long-term reviews report good durability for both petrol and PHEV models. “Problems”, “reliability”, and “service cost” now rank in the most-searched buyer questions. The main issues relate to aged infotainment screens and slow EV charger compatibility (PHEV); warranty claims are generally resolved without drama. Routine servicing and using premium fuel ensure longest life for both engines and battery.

Petrol models are rated for up to 1,600kg (braked), PHEV for 1,500kg (braked), both with standard tow bar/plug options. “Towing capacity”, “towbar”, and "caravan" spike for holiday and tradie planning. Towing will reduce electric-only range on PHEVs, but backup petrol ensures range isn’t a worry. Always check owner’s manual and dealer accessory fit for warranty compliance.

Eclipse Cross PHEV plugs in for real EV commutes, RAV4 Hybrid is engine-only (non-plug), and Niro EV is pricier but pure electric. "Eclipse cross vs rav4 hybrid", “phev comparison”, and "vs kia niro" drive cross-brand decision searches. Mitsubishi wins on price and warranty, RAV4 for resale and space, Niro for all-electric range. For lowest total cost, plug-in is best for those who charge every day.

Yes—Mitsubishi and aftermarket dealers sell model-specific roof bars, towbars, mats, seat covers, dash cams, and more, all with warranty cover if dealer-fitted. “Accessories Australia”, “seat covers”, and “floor mats” are top research for family and rideshare drivers. Electric tailgate, sunroof, and spare tyre options also available. Always confirm fitment for PHEV compatibility.

Compact dimensions (4.55m), light steering and high ride make school runs and shopping centre parking easy. Camera and sensor systems on Exceed/PHEV help with tight spots. Light off-roading and gravel tracks are possible, but AWD models suit occasional adventure, not hardcore bush trips. Feedback from owners highlights minimal blind spots and strong outward vision.

High safety, easy access, ISOFIX anchors, big rear seat, and a simple-to-use interior all bolster the Eclipse Cross’ family credentials. “Family SUV”, "seat comfort", and “boot” are the top queries. Wallet-proof running costs after the ten-year warranty contribute peace of mind. Many reviewers say it’s “peaceful, practical, and great for tall parents or growing kids.”

Yes—petrol models run happily on regular 91 unleaded or ethanol blends (E10); no premium required for daily use. "Fuel type", “petrol consumption”, and “octane” are common buyer queries. PHEV models require unleaded; always check owner’s manual for any specification. Keeping tyres and oils properly serviced maximises economy.

The Eclipse Cross is assembled in Japan, with full aftersales support via Mitsubishi’s nationwide dealer network. “Where is Eclipse Cross made”, "warranty support", and "parts" are trending questions. Owners praise fast parts delivery, reliable dealer fixes, and digital warranty tracking. Roadside assistance (with warranty) and included loan car (service) sweeten the deal.

Yes—the Eclipse Cross PHEV offers Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), a 1.5kW 240V power outlet that runs small appliances or picnic gear from the car battery. Some models also support Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) for future home energy integration. “PHEV V2L” and “power output” are popular with tech buyers and outdoor enthusiasts. This is a unique selling point among budget plug-in SUVs.

Service intervals are every 12 months or 15,000km, among the longest in the class. Capped price servicing locks in budget for a decade. “Service cost”, "interval", and “warranty” are primary maintenance FQ for new owners. Mitsubishi’s $200–$400 annual service cost is below most competitors. EV system checks are included on PHEV.

Hybrid and PHEV Eclipse Cross models hold up well so far, with battery and software fault rates matching ICE versions. “PHEV reliability”, “hybrid battery”, and “owner review” spike in search data. Warranty covers battery and EV gear for the full 10 years. Routine software updates and keeping the battery topped up help prevent issues. Overall, most buyers report reliable, trouble-free ownership.
