Key Features of the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Confidence begins with traction, and Mitsubishi makes S-AWC standard across the Eclipse Cross lineup. This integrated control system is engineered to enhance handling stability and cornering grip by continuously optimizing torque distribution as conditions change. On winding back roads or on-ramps, S-AWC helps the crossover track securely and predictably. On rainy days or light snow, it supports traction from takeoff through braking. Because S-AWC works seamlessly in the background, you enjoy the benefits without extra steps or distraction—ideal for families and commuters who simply want surefooted control. Whether you choose ES, SE, SE Pano, BLACK EDITION, SEL, or SEL TOURING, S-AWC gives every trim the same stable foundation, so your choice can focus on comfort, tech, and design preferences.

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection

Safety is central to the Eclipse Cross value story, starting with standard Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection. By monitoring distance and closing speed, FCM can alert you to potential frontal hazards and, in some scenarios, apply braking assistance. The inclusion of Pedestrian Detection adds another layer of everyday protection in parking lots, crosswalks, and busy neighborhood streets. Paired with standard Lane Departure Warning (LDW), this core safety suite is designed to reduce driver workload and help maintain situational awareness. The result is a compact SUV that supports you in the moments that matter, whether you are navigating school drop-offs or merging onto a packed highway.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

Available Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) expand your field of awareness beyond the mirrors. BSW helps monitor adjacent lanes to alert you when a vehicle is present, while LCA is designed to provide additional support during higher-speed lane changes. RCTA helps detect cross traffic while backing out of parking spaces or driveways—extremely useful in crowded lots or tight urban streets. These features integrate naturally with the Eclipse Cross’s clear outward visibility and available Multi-View Camera System for a more complete picture around the vehicle. For families and frequent commuters alike, that added confidence can make a long day feel less demanding.

Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services

Available Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) brings helpful digital tools into your ownership experience. From eligible remote functions to status checks and assistance services, Mitsubishi Connect is designed to make daily use both smarter and simpler. Planning to head out early on a winter morning? Check vehicle status before you step outside. Handing the keys to a new driver? Alerts and assistance features can help you stay informed. Because the interface is designed to be intuitive, these connected capabilities feel like a natural extension of how you already use your phone—only now, the convenience supports your Eclipse Cross.

Handsfree Power Tailgate

Few features transform everyday errands like an available Handsfree Power Tailgate. When your hands are full with groceries, sports gear, or travel bags, the tailgate opens with a simple, convenient motion. Load up, secure your cargo, and get on your way with less juggling and fewer delays. Mitsubishi couples this convenience with practical cargo flexibility and a cabin that makes space work harder—so whether you are packing for a weekend away or handling the weekly shopping, the Eclipse Cross adapts quickly. This is thoughtful design in action: useful, reliable, and built to streamline the tasks you do most.
