THE BASICS:

Year: 2019
Make: Mitsubishi
Model: Eclipse Cross
Trim: SE

Type: compact crossover SUV that seats 5
MSRP: $28,265

HISTORY:
This is a brand new vehicle for Mitsubishi. They started making the Eclipse Cross in 2018 so this only the second year it's available.

Wheels:
18" aluminum alloy wheels. Bridgestone tires.

UNDER THE HOOD:
Engine: 1.5L Direct-Injection Turbo Engine with "Super" All-Wheel Control S-AWC.
Transmission: CVT (continuously variable transmission) or you could call it a shiftless transmission, single-speed transmission, I think you get the idea. No gears to shift through.
Horsepower: 152 hp @ 5,500 rps
Towing capacity: 1,500 lbs
MPG City: 25
MPG Highway: 26
Combined MPG: 25
Fuel Tank Capacity: 15.8 gallsons
Cost for a full tank: Takes regular unleaded gas. Gas by me is $3.12/gallon. 3.12 x 15.8 = $49.30

HANDLING:
Solid. Comfortable at high speeds and easy to park in tight spaces. No issues.

ACCELERATION:
Okay in normal mode, very slow in eco mode, and not fun to drives. I think the best way to summarize my experience would be..."ehh".

FINAL THOUGHTS:
I enjoyed driving the Eclipse Cross, but only because it's new. Frankly, it doesn't compare to something like the Ford Edge. But I'm happy to see that Mitsubishi is trying something new and I'm curious to see how to Eclipse Cross grows in the years to come. I think it has a lot of potential, but right now, in its current form, it's just not very exciting.
