Question 1

What trim levels and pricing does the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offer in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is offered in four trim levels in Canada: ES, SE, SEL and GT. The starting MSRP is approximately $27,998 for the ES FWD. The SE AWD starts around $31,498, SEL AWD around $33,998, and GT AWD around $36,998. The powertrain is a 1.5-litre MIVEC turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 152 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and either front-wheel or S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) all-wheel drive. Official fuel consumption is approximately 9.4 L/100 km in the city and 8.0 L/100 km on the highway in AWD. For 2024, the Eclipse Cross receives a restyled grille, updated interior trim elements, and standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection across all trim levels.

Question 2

Is the 2024 Eclipse Cross S-AWC system effective for Canadian winters?

Accepted Answer

Mitsubishi's Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system is one of the most sophisticated AWD systems at its price point. It integrates active torque distribution between front and rear axles, active stability control and a torque vectoring braking system. In practice on snowy roads in Quebec, Alberta or British Columbia, the S-AWC helps the Eclipse Cross maintain a stable and predictable trajectory even through corners. The drive mode can be switched between Normal, Gravel and Snow to adapt the vehicle's behaviour to conditions. Quality winter tires certified with the mountain-snowflake symbol are still strongly recommended to maximize safety. Ground clearance of 185 mm is adequate for urban and suburban winter driving. The Mitsubishi 5-year/100,000 km powertrain warranty provides reassurance for Canadian buyers.

Question 3

How does the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross compare to the Nissan Qashqai and Honda CR-V in its segment?

Accepted Answer

The Eclipse Cross 2024 sits in the compact SUV segment, but its 1.5L/152 hp engine is less powerful than the Honda CR-V's 1.5L turbo/190 hp and equivalent to the Nissan Qashqai's 1.3L/141 or 158 hp turbo. Its main competitive advantage is the S-AWC system — generally more sophisticated than the basic AWD systems found in competitors at equivalent price points. Its starting price of $27,998 makes it more accessible than the CR-V (from $33,800) and slightly less expensive than the Qashqai (from $29,998). Eclipse Cross cargo space is adequate but not exceptional — its 579-litre trunk (seats in place) is smaller than the CR-V's 1,110 litres. Mitsubishi offers the longest powertrain warranty in its class (5 years/100,000 km), equivalent to Honda and Nissan. The standout strength remains its features-to-price ratio and the brand's recognized reliability track record.
