The Eclipse Cross now has two special-edition grades.

Mitsubishi Australia has added two new special-edition grades to the recently facelifted Eclipse Cross small SUV’s range.

The XLS ($34,640 plus on-road costs) is based on the Eclipse Cross’ lower-specification LS grade, with its $2050 premium adding gloss-black exterior trim, adaptive cruise control (with stop and go functionality), surround-view cameras and front parking sensors.

And inside, an eight-speaker sound system, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat and suede/artificial leather upholstery feature.

Then there’s the aptly named XLS Plus (from $37,940), which also includes LED headlights, a double sunroof, satellite navigation, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel, a power-adjustable passenger seat, leather upholstery and ultrasonic misacceleration mitigation.

As reported, the small SUV’s fresh special editions were made to tackle ongoing supply issue and buyer preference for particular features.

For reference, no matter the variant, the Nissan Qashqai, Subaru XV, Honda HR-V and Volkswagen T-Roc rival is powered by a 110kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine.

A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) (with paddle-shifters) is also standard alongside front-wheel drive, although the LS, XLS Plus and Exceed grades have the option of Mitsubishi’s S-AWC all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2500.

Justin Hilliard
Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
