MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV EXCEED

  By ,

Mitsubishi’s plug-in hybrid Outlander has been around for going on 10 years. The plug-in version of Eclipse Cross was launched just six months ago. It’s underpinned by the same hybrid setup as the Outlander. It offers the same 55km of electric-only range – but it has the advantage of being smaller and nippier. Eclipse Cross sits between Mitsubishi ASX and Outlander in size. STYLING The Eclipse has grown in size and now offers a pleasant, comfortable cabin with room for five, plus more rear legroom and a bigger boot than… Read more

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER EXCEED

  By ,

Mitsubishi’s Outlander is back, bigger and boofier than ever – but all is not quite as it seems because the latest Outlander hides a Nissan X-Trail, the first time the Japanese brand has released a badge-engineered car. By the same token, it has just as much in common with the Renault Koleos, which also shares the same platform. It’s all a reflection of the fact Mitsubishi is part of the Nissan- Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance and has been for a long time, although it rarely gets a mention. Outlander is priced from… Read more

MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV

  By ,

  Mitsubishi is a long-time player in electric power in vehicles – to the extent that I was one of an Australian group that Mitsubishi flew to Japan in 2010 to drive the i-MiEV, its first electric vehicle. We didn’t just go to some sort of fancy high-tech facility, but also got to buy things at a shopping centre and have lunch at a cafe. Both of these locations had EV charging facilities. About a year later we drove the Mitsubishi i-MiEV in Australia when it was launched here. It… Read more

MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS EXCEED

  By ,

Mitsubishi’s Eclipse Cross sits somewhere between the Mitsubishis ASX and Outlander but has a personality all of its own. Its compact dimensions belie its spaciousness and, complemented by generous inclusions, this SUV is punching above its weight. It is offered here in Australia in three grades, the mid-level LS, the newly arrived entry-level ES and the top-spec Exceed. The versatile crossover is pushing hard to make its mark in a segment that surprisingly still has some wiggle room. STYLINGThe Eclipse Cross may very well be one of the more stylish… Read more

MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE AT A CROSSROADS

  By ,

In an attempt to get its Eclipse Cross out of the shadows of more favoured rivals, Mitsubishi has looked to driver comfort and on-road handling, a no brainer in such a competitive market. For example, front and rear overhangs have been extended in a bid to inject dynamic proportions. Up front, the Mitsubishi Dynamic Shield has evolved with the addition of new headlamps and LED daytime running lights. The rear has been restyled to create a sleeker appearance in conjunction with the robustness of a traditional sports utility vehicle. Eighteen-inch… Read more
