The compact SUV from Mitsubishi comes to the 2023 market of compact SUVs challenging some on top of the list. The Eclipse Cross comes with a turbocharged 1.5-litre which makes 152 horsepower. It comes paired with an all-wheel drive powertrain and a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) which degrades its acceleration. The car remains all over the road in terms of handling but the quiet and peaceful interior balances it out. The SUV remains on top in terms of the comfort provided but seems a little short in comparison to the Volkswagen Tiguanin Or Hyundai Tucson.
