TheStraightPipes gave the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a disappointing 34/100 rating, with nearly twice as many criticisms as praise. The vehicle's strongest suit is its cabin technology, featuring seamless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto switching and convenient features like a power liftgate with close buttons across all trims, while livability impresses with spacious rear legroom and comfortable elbow rests for tall passengers. However, significant weaknesses undermine the package: the performance is hampered by a boring CVT, poor handling dynamics with understeer and body roll, and terrible fuel economy at 9.3L per 100km, while the $37,897 price tag sits $10,000 above comparable competitors with worse value overall. This Eclipse Cross is best suited for buyers seeking basic commuter comfort and tech features who can negotiate a substantial discount, but TheStraightPipes suggests there are better options elsewhere in the segment.
