Presentation of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Its length of 4405 mm brings it much closer to the Mitsubishi ASX whose base was shared with PSA (C4 Aircross and 4008, nostalgia when you hold us!) Than the Outlander, which was also shared with PSA when Of its second generation (C-Crosser and 4007). Will it boost the ASX or will it be a cut and dynamic version of the ASX?

Its direct competitor, the second-generation Nissan Qashqai has been there since 2014 and it will take serious arguments for the new addition to the ship led by Carlos Ghosn to make it attractive and hoping to make sales take off.
NDLA: The Eclipse Cross was not born under the direction of Carlos Ghosn, the Qashqai remained one of the main targets.

As for motorization, Mitsubishi announces a 1.5 liter turbocharged gasoline associated with a CVT box and a 2.2 l diesel coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive is electronically controlled via the S-AWC and Active Yaw Control. The latter will remind many of the legendary lineage of the Lancer Evolution. If some believe that a small 1.5 turbo-petrol seems small for this type of vehicle, it is still ideal for the city, where a good part of the clientele spend time in the car.

The interior is very … Japanese. Black on black background, plastic and aluminum inserts. It is sober, efficient, but perhaps too cold in the face of competition that is diversifying and increasingly offers colors in the passenger compartment. Too bad the outside gives us a flamboyant red.
