The Eclipse Cross made its global at 2017 Geneva Motor Show and the premium SUV has been popular among buyers for its sleek design as it is completely different from other Mitsubishi models. The H-shaped grille dominates the front along with LED headlamps and vertically placed fog lamps.
The SUV get black plastic body cladding across the body and mirrors are placed on the door rather than on A-pillar as it reduces drag. Mitsubishi has given a new design for alloy wheels, which comes in different size like 16 or 17-inch. One of the stands out part of the design is coupe roof line.
The rear design of Eclipse Cross is different as the company has given vertically placed LED tail lamps with an integrated spoiler at the rear. Like most of its competitors, the Eclipse Cross also gets silver finished skid plates at front and rear. Overall, the exterior of Eclipse Cross will certainly help it to stand out from the competition.
The interior design is simple and the company has used high-quality materials for the cabin to make it feel premium. The Eclipse Cross comes with lots of features like touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, a touchpad in the centre console, head-up-display, cruise control, leather seats and more.
