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.

Mitsubishi ASX Sport edition adds colour and tech

The ASX Sport is based on the GLX model and sells for the same base price, but according to Mitsubishi it adds R30 000 worth of extras. Most notably, it adds an upgraded infotainment system that is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As before, the factory-fitted 17.8cm touchscreen infotainment system also features satellite navigation and Bluetooth. On the outside, the Sport has been dressed up with a number of styling accessories, including a Sport decal set that consists of various black and orange strips as well as carbon fibre inserts.

As with the GLX it’s based on, the Sport features a lengthy list of standard feature...
