The all new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be available to U.K. customers from January 2018 in three trim levels - Eclipse Cross 2, Eclipse Cross 3 and Eclipse Cross 4. At launch, all versions of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be powered by an all new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine developing 163bhp and 250Nm of torque, which will be available with a six-speed manual or advanced new automatic transmission with Sport mode, manual override and paddle shifters, depending on the model.

The new transmission benefits from the latest step logic technology to combine the packaging and running cost benefits of a CVT with the smoothness and responsiveness of a traditional automatic. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will also be available with two or four-wheel drive, the latter incorporating the latest generation of Mitsubishi's Super All-wheel Control system that offers a choice of three advanced drive modes - Auto, Snow and Gravel.

The Eclipse Cross is extremely well specified, with even the entry-level Eclipse Cross 2 version offering features such as a touchpad controller, Smartphone Display Audio that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear-view camera and 16-inch alloy wheels. To celebrate the launch of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in the U.K., a special First Edition version will be available for a limited time. The First Edition is based on the Eclipse Cross 4 but is bolstered with a number of exclusive extras and will be limited to just 250 units.
