The Eclipse Cross is now one of two crossover nameplates in Mitsubishi’s showrooms for 2024. It is now the entry-level choice for consumers of a Diamond Star brand all-wheel-drive vehicle. Mitsu’s renowned 10-year warranty is a draw. on card.
All-wheel drive is popular on all versions this year, meaning spending more money now will only pay for extra comfort, not wheel drive. The EC gained a number of updates just two years ago, adding an infotainment overhaul and a slight one increasing in overall length.
Just like the number of wheels that force the pavement, the amount of horsepower under the hood of this device doesn’t change, no matter how much money is spent. All trims have a 1. 5L turbocharged engine with 152 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is of the frequently variable type.
Despite housing an engine with a displacement of just 1. 5 liters under its hood, the Eclipse Cross still consumes 9. 3 L/100 km of fuel under combined driving conditions, according to NRCan’s estimate. Specifically, highway driving is expected to yield 8. 9 L/100 km. However, city driving roughly raises that figure to 9. 6 l/100 km.
IIHS reviewers conducted a 2023 analysis through its battery of tests and found that it scored well on all assessments, but not smart enough to earn the Top Safety Pick designation. The updated small overlap test showed that the lesions were imaginable for child-sized people tied up. to the rear seating area. The functionality of its headlights didn’t help its overall score either.
Consumer Reports’ estimates placed projected reliability in the middle of the pack, with expected owner satisfaction scoring a low 2 out of 5. CR was offended by the car’s lackluster powertrain and uncomplicated handling as possible reasons why a customer might not like this whip in the long run. running, despite renting out his spacious back seat.
Look for a functional cabin in the Eclipse Cross, with a livable rear seat and 23. 4 cubic feet (663 L) of shipping space. An 8-inch infotainment screen includes satellite radio capability, a feature not found in some competitions until its top version. Levels. Automatic climate control and seat heating are also popular across the range.
The total duration stands at 4,547 mm (179. 0 inches) with a state height of 1,689 mm (66. 5 inches), a far cry from the EC’s competition. The width is 1,806 mm (71. 1 inches), a measurement that might put some off about the area for this car’s inner elbows.
Once the little Mirage leaves that fatal reel, the 2024 Eclipse Cross will be the cheapest vehicle in a Mitsubishi showroom at $28,998 for an ES version. Returning those characters in SE increases the value to $32,498, while an SEL costs $35,298 this year. The most sensible of the bunch, is a $38,098 GT.

The compact RVR, the smallest of Mitsubishi’s SUVs, is undergoing some equipment tweaks for 2024. Known as the Outlander Sport among U. S. buyers, the RVR seats up to five, comes with a choice of two engines, and offers front-wheel drive (FWD). all-wheel drive (AWD). Mitsubishi prefers to call it AWC, for four-wheel control. The RVR competes with rivals such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro and Seltos and Subaru Crosstrek, among others.
The SEL trim receives all of the RVR lineup’s tweaks for 2024, starting with power-folding mirrors as popular equipment. It also offers a new Black Edition package, which adds 18-inch black wheels; black spoiler, mirrors and grille; black headliner, red stitching and aluminum pedals; and a panoramic sunroof.

Both engines are mated to a frequently variable automatic transmission (CVT).
The AWD formula can be selected through the driver, using a button that identifies it as 4WD (all-wheel drive), all-wheel drive is more accurate. The driver can set it to FWD only; 4WD Auto, which basically drives the front wheels but will send power to the rear wheels depending on traction needs; or 4WD Lock, which helps maintain at least 40% of the force in the rear to cut through conditions such as deep snow or sand.

The National Outlander Carrier (NHTSA), which lists it in its database as the Outlander Sport. This score is due to the fact that it received five stars in a sideswipe collision, but only 4 in a head-on collision and rollover. At the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), it has the highest score of “Good” in all existing checks, with the exception of the small front overlap on the driver’s side. aspect, where it reaches the next “Acceptable” level. It hasn’t crashed yet in the updated look review, which better simulates being run over by a larger SUV; or the updated front control that assesses potential injuries to a rear passenger.
All models come with a driver’s knee airbag, a tire tension tracking formula (TPMS), and the mandatory rearview camera. Only the basic edition doesn’t have the blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, which is popular in all others. ; however, you want the top GT trim to receive front emergency braking and lane departure warning.
Consumer Reports hasn’t rated the 2023 Mitsubishi RVR, which this American publication calls the Outlander Sport, but said it expects it to have “roughly average reliability compared to other new cars,” based on Mitsubishi’s logo styles and scores. In the U. S. , J. D. Power, the style didn’t win any individual trophi, but Mitsubishi, as a logo, ranked sixth among all automakers.

Its front legroom averages 1,056 mm (41. 6 inches), but the rear seat is narrower than some of its rivals at 921 mm (36. 3 inches). The rear seat size is 614L on the top models, but it drops to 569L on the GT due to its audio system’s subwoofer. The rear seat folds down to increase shipping capacity, again, some competitors offer more space for your bags or purchases.
The 2024 Mitsubishi RVR starts at $24,598 for the 2. 0L ES with front-wheel-drive engine, while the all-wheel-drive addition costs an additional $2,000.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a rugged-looking compact crossover that seats up to seven passengers, aside from the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.
The Mitsubishi Outlander continues from 2023 without major changes.
The 2024 Outlander is supplied with a 2. 5-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This force is transmitted to all 4 wheels thanks to Mitsubishi’s complicated Super All-Wheel-Control generation and can generate moderate speeds. Fuel economy, thanks to the popular CVT.
The Outlander doesn’t boast the best fuel consumption figures, with 8. 9 L/100 km in combined driving. That’s a little less than the Hyundai Tucson but more than the Toyota RAV4.
The Mitsubishi Outlander may not make the headlines, but its crash protection feature is worth reading. The IIHS has rated the Outlander as one of the best safety options, making it one of the safest possible options in its segment.
There are valid considerations about Mitsubishi ownership, especially in terms of reliability. Consumer Reports recently ranked Japanese brands 28th out of 32. To give buyers some peace of mind, the automaker includes a basic five-year warranty and a 10-year powertrain warranty. , as well as five years of roadside assistance.
The Outlander’s biggest merit over its compact crossover rivals is that it seats up to seven people. The third row of seats is rarely very comfortable, but it will work in a pinch. Around the cab, find a conservatively designed cab that doesn’t look low. On rent, however, our reviewers noted some issues with compatibility and finish. The models come with a popular eight-inch touchscreen, as well as convenient features like heated seats, USB-C ports, and dual-zone climate control. Models get leather seats, a larger infotainment screen, a head-up display, a 12-inch virtual gauge cluster and more.
When all the seats are up and in position, the Outlander only has 308L of garage space, a lot, and possibly not even compatible with a stroller. Fold the third row down and you get 866L of garage space, which expands to 1,822L when you fold them down. The first two rows are the best position aboard the Outlander and offer plenty of space for passengers. The third row seems like an occasional feature, ideal when friends or family are coming on a trip.
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander starts at $34,198 for the ES edition. The Il edition is a pretty basic model, and we suggest opting for the $39,598 LE model, which adds adaptive cruise control and navigation. The GT Premium costs $44,498 and doesn’t have the uncovered price. elsewhere in the segment.
