Description: The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid EV - or PHEV - is the newest member of the electrified family for the brand, adding a battery pack for real world EV driving of about 50 kilometres, while being backed by a petrol engine to charge the batteries or run the car entirely. It sounds confusing, and it can be, but this review will make this variant easy to understand.
