Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a 5-seater crossover SUV that has been in production from 2017 to the present. The Eclipse Cross is one of the most sought-after SUVs in New Zealand thanks to its outstanding performance and reliability.

The Eclipse Cross slots between the Outlander and the RVR and comes in a coupe body style that follows a design concept known as Dynamic Shield, which combines thin and sharp LED headlights with large fog lights at the lower end, which gives it a strong, masculine look.

Just like any other car, the Eclipse Cross is susceptible to mechanical problems. Below are some of the common issues we’ve observed and gathered from owners.

  1. Excessive oil consumption
  2. Rattling noises from the clutch
  3. Loss of power
  4. Brake pedal pulses
  5. Transmission slipping
  6. Airbags not deploying as they are expected to
  7. Engine stalling or a filing
  8. Fluid leaking from the suspension strut
  9. Corrosion on the fuel filler door
  10. Difficulty starting in certain temperature conditions
  11. Pull to one side when driving

If you are considering buying the Eclipse Cross, avoid models manufactured before 2019. We recommend you read the Buyer’s Guide and the Owner’s Manual.
