The Eclipse Cross LS represents the entry point to the Australian line-up from launch, with a cheaper ES model expected to join the range later in 2018. 

With a list price of $30,500, it sits $5500 under the $36,000 top-spec Exceed, but comes standard with all of the important safety gear like AEB and seven airbags, plus a new multimedia interface that's compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front and rear parking sensors, tinted rear windows, lane departure warning, auto high beams and 18-inch alloys.

It does miss out on the Exceed's leather trim and dual sunroof, dual-zone climate control, head-up display, 360 degree cameras, active cruise control, a few extra active safety functions like rear cross-traffic alert, blind-sport warning, lane change assist, and the novel 'Misacceleration Mitigation System' which is designed to avoid driving into stationary objects.  

Like all Australian Eclipse Cross models, the LS comes fitted with a new 110kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with a CVT auto. Unlike the Exceed, the LS is only available with two-wheel drive. 

The Eclipse LS carries an official combined fuel figure of 7.3L/100km, and will happily run on regular 91RON unleaded petrol.

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
