South Suburban Mitsubishi - How S-AWC on the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Makes Every Season Easier around Tinley Park, IL
If your week includes school runs, quick commutes, and weekend drives that can go from crisp sunshine to surprise flurries, you want a compact SUV that never feels out of its depth. The 2025 Eclipse Cross brings Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) to the compact segment, and that matters when the forecast changes faster than your schedule. S-AWC helps manage driving and braking forces at each wheel to support confident starts from stoplights, enhance stability mid-corner, and improve grip on slick or uneven surfaces. The selectable drive modes — including Snow and Gravel — help the system tune traction to what the road demands. Pair that with a 1.5L direct-injection turbocharged engine and the result is an SUV that responds briskly around town yet settles into an easy rhythm on the highway. For families and first-time buyers alike, it strikes a practical balance: plenty of comfort and connectivity inside, with the sure-footed poise you want outdoors. We are proud to be a local resource, serving Chicago Heights, Tinley Park, and Country Club Hills with product guidance that puts the focus on real-world driving.

Beyond comfort, the Eclipse Cross leans into safety. Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning help you stay aware of what’s around you, while the available Multi-View Camera System adds helpful perspective in tight parking situations. It’s a well-rounded set of features that supports new drivers and seasoned commuters alike — exactly what you want in a compact SUV that works hard every day.
