The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a mid-sized SUV that seats five.
This first generation of the Eclipse Cross arrived in Australia in 2018 before an update in 2021 brought new styling to the Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester rival.
The Eclipse Cross comes in all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive with a choice of a petrol engine or plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The line-up currently starts at $31,990 for the Eclipse Cross ES (2WD) and ranges through to $56,490 for the range-topping Eclipse Cross Exceed Phev (awd).
If the shorter warranty of the Subaru is a major concern for you then certainly look at others, like the Sportage or Eclipse, but I would buy the Outback with confidence it will give you a good run beyond the warranty.
