Why The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross For Sale Is A Used Bargain

We know it’s tough to find that diamond-in-the-rough used SUV. Sometimes, they’re sitting right under your nose and you may not see them. That’s one of the plusses to the often-forgotten Mitsubishi Eclipse for sale. This frugal, comfy, five-seat SUV often gets overlooked for the used bargain it is.

​
Today, a two-year-old Eclipse Cross that cost nearly $28,000 (R520,000) in 2020 sells for about $23,000 (R420,000), according to listings at Kelley Blue Book. The Eclipse Cross fits below the larger, seven-passenger, Outlander SUV. You can find Eclipse models for sale online - a five-seat SUV with a roomy back seat, good cargo room, and a frugal if not exciting 1.5-litre engine.


Is the Eclipse Cross a good used SUV?
In 2020/2021, the Eclipse Cross SUV got several new features that help its value, including automatic emergency braking, several other driver’s aids, and in nicer trim levels, leather seats and a power liftgate.

Many used vehicle warranties don’t transfer. The Eclipse Cross came with a 10-year, 160,000 km powertrain warranty and that is transferred to the new owner. But if you buy a 2020 certified at a dealer, it transfers to the balance of a 5 years or 90,000 km. In 2019 the Eclipse Cross was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or IIHs. The versions that snagged the recognition have optional front crash protection and specific headlights, however.

Is an Eclipse Cross a reliable car?
Consumer Reports expects it to have about average reliability compared to others. At J.D. Power the 2022 Eclipse Cross gets an Average score for quality and reliability (the 2020 version isn’t rated, though it’s the same car). But, it’s on the very top end of that score, at 79.

One more J.D. Power point would have earned it a “great” score. J.D. Power rates vehicles based on the level of defects, malfunctions, and design flaws. It covers the whole vehicle. Most rated the driving experience great, too, on the Eclipse Cross.

Tested: 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS 4x4

Image
The 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS is one of the few seven-seat SUVs on the market with proper 4x4 credentials As one of a handful of  seven-seat SUVs with proper off-road credentials  currently on the market, the  Pajero Sport  remains popular with adventure-driven families. And for good reason; it’s well-priced and comes with a generous warranty and class-leading after-sales support. In its current guise though, this  Mitsubishi Pajero  was first released back in 2015 and is somewhat long in the tooth - despite a mid-life refresh in 2020 that was largely cosmetic. With an influx of more modern large SUVs arriving locally - think Everest - is the ageing Pajero Sport still a worthy consideration? The 4x4 models that occupy  the Mitsubishi Pajero line-up  - GLX, GLS, and Exceed - with the choice of either five or seven pews available. The mid-spec GLS we have here is the cheapest entry point into a seven-seat 4x4 variant. Interior Despite feeling dated in certain areas, the Pajero Spo

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs ASX

Image
  What are the key differences between the entry-level ES variants of Mitsubishi's small-SUV duo? Introduced in 2017, Mitsubishi’s newest offering, the Eclipse Cross, is pitched as the model that bridges the gap between the Mitsubishi ASX and Outlander. And while this may be the case in terms of pricing, it has a lot in common with the ASX when it comes to size and practicality. The ASX is Australia’s most popular small SUV mainly due to its sharp pricing for the ES manual. Add a CVT auto and the price jumps, naturally, which is still a chunk less than the entry-level Eclipse Cross ES that comes with CVT as standard. So what does paying extra for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross get you over the ASX ES, considering both cars have the same 1810mm width and 2670mm wheelbase? The Eclipse Cross is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produces the same power as the ASX ’s naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine, but considerably more torque. Like the ASX, the
