(February 10, 2021) FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Mitsubishi has announced pricing of the redesigned 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. The new Eclipse Cross is the latest entry in the brand's product initiative to launch four updated or all-new vehicles to create for dealer partners and customers one of the freshest showrooms in the industry. Offering a full suite of upgrades inside and out and powered by a proven turbocharged 1.5-liter direct-injection engine, the 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross starts at $24,590 including $1,195 destination charge.

Mitsubishi's motorsport-derived Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system can be added to any trim level for $1,600.


At the front of the vehicle, a new bumper and the latest, most striking version of the brand's Dynamic Shield grille design present a sportier and more futuristic appearance. A newly styled bisected lighting design features thin, high-mounted LED daytime running lights (DRLs) at the leading edge of the hood with integrated turn signal lamps just below.

Mitsubishi says that it "presents a bold and broad welcome that previews the new face of future Mitsubishi Motors vehicles, stacked-and-recessed assemblies combine headlamp and fog lamp in a low-mounted position for optimal visibility."

The new design has been carried through to the rear of the vehicle, with a completely restyled rear hatch and window. The single-piece rear window and revised hatch design, combined with an increase in overall vehicle length, add both styling and cargo space benefits, with the update providing one additional cubic foot of storage with the tonneau cover installed. Eclipse Cross now offers maximum total storage capacity of 50.1 cubic feet with the second row folded, and 23.4 cubic feet with the second row upright.



The sharply sculpted hexagonal liftgate design is a nod to famous Mitsubishi vehicles of the past, and integrates the vehicle's iconic three-dimensional taillights to create a wide and stable presence.

The extensive redesign of the 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross results in a longer, sleeker and more luxurious compact SUV. The vehicle has gained more than five inches in overall length, now measuring 178.9 inches long, 71.1 inches wide and 66.3 inches high in 2WD, and 66.5 inches high in S-AWC. The wheelbase remains unchanged at 105.1 inches. Designers increased the vehicle's front and rear overhangs for both improved functionality (cargo capacity) and to optimize proportions for an appealing, sporty aesthetic.


Inside the updated Eclipse Cross, the interior now offers a light gray leather seat option with color-contrasting black accents for the first time ever. This new interior color choice is only available on the SEL trim. The new interior color option is complemented by color-coordinated door trim and seats, leading to a high-quality and refined interior aesthetic. Also new is an optional power passenger seat, available on SEL models.

Driver and front passenger heated seats are standard on LE, SE and SEL trims. A heated steering wheel is standard on the SEL trim, while the SEL with Touring package adds heated rear seats. The rear seats feature a standard reclining function, with nine distinct recline positions.

Every 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is powered by a “MIVEC” 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, which produces 152 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional on every trim, which Mitsubishi calls S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control).

The base ES 2WD trim is rated at 26 city/29 highway/27 combined mpg. Every other 2WD trim is slightly less efficient at 25 city/28 highway/26 combined mpg. Like with every other SUV, upgrading to AWD comes with a slight fuel economy penalty.

Highlighting the upgraded interior is a new eight-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio (SDA) system, available on LE, SE and SEL trims, offering drivers more ways to stay safely connected while on the road. The touchscreen has been moved two inches closer to the driver and features volume and tuning knobs for easier use. The previous center console touchpad has been removed. Vehicles equipped with the new eight-inch SDA system feature standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

An onboard navigation system with industry-first embedded what3words integration is now standard on Eclipse Cross SE and SEL, (starting at $27,340)  the first time Eclipse Cross has been fitted with embedded navigation. As a global addressing system, what3words divides the world into a grid of three-meter-by-three-meter squares, each of which is assigned a unique what3words address. The system allows pinpoint navigation, even in remote, unpopulated areas, offering greater accuracy and specificity than street address-based systems.

Every 2022 Eclipse Cross boasts one of the industry's leading warranties: a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty; 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty; 7-year/100,000-mile anti-corrosion/perforation limited warranty; and 5-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance program.
