Does the 2026 Eclipse Cross receive updates to stay competitive against newer entrants in the Canadian compact segment?
Mitsubishi has given the 2026 Eclipse Cross a mid-life aesthetic refresh with a new Dynamic Shield grille integrating a redesigned LED lighting signature at the front, and new three-dimensional rear lamp clusters inspired by the legendary Galant. Inside, the infotainment system upgrades to a 9-inch display (up from 8 inches on 2022 to 2025 versions) with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on all Canadian trims. The upper dashboard receives new soft-touch materials, directly addressing one of the most persistent criticisms from Canadian automotive journalists on the previous version. The 1.5L MIVEC turbocharged 152 hp engine and the S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) all-wheel drive system carry over without major mechanical changes — they remain the model's key strengths against the Nissan Qashqai and Mazda CX-5 in this segment.
