Key Features of the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Every Eclipse Cross features Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), Mitsubishi’s integrated traction and stability system that helps you feel sure-footed across changing conditions. S-AWC coordinates engine torque, braking, and wheel control to help you track calmly through turns, launch smoothly on slick surfaces, and maintain composure when traction fades. The result is a planted, predictable drive that inspires confidence in rain, slush, and light snow while still feeling settled and efficient on dry pavement. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all AWD setup—it is an intelligent foundation that makes the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross feel balanced and reassuring in real-world driving.

1.5L Turbocharged Engine and CVT

The responsive 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to deliver smooth, steady power that suits the Eclipse Cross’s calm, refined character. Around town, the powertrain eases you off the line without drama; on the highway, it settles into a quiet cruise. The CVT’s tuning emphasizes seamlessness, helping the engine stay in its sweet spot without unnecessary flare-ups. Together with the comfort-tuned suspension, the powertrain creates a relaxed, confidence-inspiring demeanor over broken pavement and winding backroads alike. It’s a combination designed to reduce fatigue on longer drives while still giving you the response you want in everyday traffic.

Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services

Available Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services integrates convenience and security features you will use daily. After enrollment, you can access select remote functions and helpful alerts, making life easier when you are juggling groceries, kids, and a busy day. Pair that capability with an available 8.0-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone compatibility on select trims, and straightforward menus, and the tech story here is about making the useful things simple. From navigation via your favorite phone apps to quickly checking trip information, the Eclipse Cross keeps the learning curve low while still offering the modern features buyers want.

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection

Standard Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection showcases Mitsubishi’s focus on safety you can feel. The system is designed to help alert you to potential frontal collisions and, in certain situations, apply braking to reduce the severity or help avoid an impact. It works alongside Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to support attentive driving on busy commutes and family trips. Step up to trims with Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) for even more awareness when merging or backing out of parking spaces. The available Multi-View Camera System further helps with low-speed visibility, building confidence in tight lots and narrow driveways.

Handsfree Power Tailgate

The available Handsfree Power Tailgate is a daily-use convenience that pays off every time your hands are full. With the key fob in your pocket or bag, you can access the cargo area without setting anything down. Inside, the flexible cargo space is designed for real life—groceries, strollers, sports gear, and weekend luggage all find a place with room to spare. Available features like a heated steering wheel, leather-appointed seating surfaces, and 8-way power adjustable front seats raise comfort even further, while power-folding side mirrors and LED Headlights add polish and practicality to every drive. The Eclipse Cross brings the right amenities together to create an SUV that works as great as it looks.
