2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross at Jenkins Mitsubishi in Lakeland, FL

The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a compact crossover SUV built for drivers in Lakeland, FL who want a versatile, all‑weather vehicle with modern tech, flexible cargo space, and a refined design. It’s ideal for daily commuting, errands, family trips, or weekend getaways — offering a balance of convenience, capability, and value.

Interior

The Eclipse Cross seats up to five passengers with comfortable front seating and a practical rear bench. Behind the rear seats you get about 23.4 cubic feet of cargo space — enough for everyday loads like groceries or weekend gear. Fold down the rear seats and the cargo area expands to roughly 50.1 cubic feet, giving plenty of room for larger items, luggage, or recreational gear.

Every 2026 model comes standard with an 8‑inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — making smartphone connectivity, navigation, music, and hands‑free communication easy and intuitive. Higher trims offer additional comfort and convenience features such as upgraded upholstery, available power liftgate, and premium touches.

Exterior

The 2026 Eclipse Cross retains its distinctive, sharp‑lined crossover profile with a sculpted roofline, contemporary LED lighting options (on available trims), and available stylish alloy wheels. Its compact dimensions (about 179.0 inches long and 71.1 inches wide) make it easy to maneuver and park — a practical benefit for Florida streets and shopping trips. Ground clearance around 8.5 inches adds light‑SUV utility without sacrificing everyday drivability.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the 2026 Eclipse Cross uses a 1.5‑liter turbocharged 4‑cylinder engine that produces 152 horsepower and 184 lb‑ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and standard all‑wheel drive (Mitsubishi’s S‑AWC system). This setup gives confident handling and traction in rain or variable road conditions — a plus in Florida’s weather or occasional trips outside urban areas.

Fuel economy is rated around 25–26 mpg combined, offering a reasonable balance of power and efficiency for a crossover with AWD and turbocharged engine. The Eclipse Cross also supports towing for light loads — up to about 1,500 lbs when properly equipped — making it versatile enough for small trailers, water‑sport gear, or bikes.

Cargo & Utility

The rear seats fold flat to maximize cargo space, giving up to 50.1 cu ft — handy for hauling larger items like furniture, sports equipment, or luggage for family trips. The flexible cargo area and compact size make the Eclipse Cross well‑suited for both city errands and weekend adventures.

Safety & Driver‑Assist Features

The 2026 Eclipse Cross comes equipped with a suite of standard safety and driver‑assist technologies to help protect you and your passengers. Standard features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and the all‑wheel‑drive S‑AWC system for better stability and control. On higher trims, more advanced safety and convenience options are available to enhance comfort and confidence on the road.
