Key Features of the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Mitsubishi’s hallmark Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) is standard on every 2026 Eclipse Cross, enhancing traction and stability in rain, sleet, and snowfall. The system integrates Active Stability Control (ASC) and precise torque distribution to help the vehicle track cleanly through corners, accelerate confidently from a stop, and maintain control when surfaces change unexpectedly. Paired to a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder and a refined CVT, S-AWC prioritizes smooth, predictable responses that inspire confidence. In tight city maneuvering, steering feels reassuringly light, and on the highway, S-AWC contributes to a composed, settled ride that takes the edge off longer trips—exactly what you want year-round in the Midwest.

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection is designed to help you respond quickly in heavy traffic and busy crosswalks. Using sensors to monitor the road ahead, FCM can provide alerts and assist with braking to help reduce the severity of or potentially avoid a frontal collision. This system works hand-in-hand with Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to support attentive driving when your attention is pulled in multiple directions. In urban settings with frequent stop-and-go movement, FCM adds an invaluable layer of confidence, especially when visibility tightens around parked cars, construction zones, or during nighttime driving with reduced sightlines.

Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard and Remote Services and 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required)

Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard and Remote Services and 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) integrates safety, security, and convenience into your everyday routine. Through the app, you can access remote features like vehicle status checks and select remote commands, and enjoy peace of mind features such as emergency assistance. Whether you are verifying door locks before bed, locating your Eclipse Cross in a busy lot, or requesting help in an emergency, Mitsubishi Connect is an always-on tool that adds tangible value. It is a natural complement to your smartphone, delivering practical utility you will appreciate long after the new-car shine fades.

Handsfree Power Tailgate

Available on select trims, the Handsfree Power Tailgate adds real-world convenience, particularly when juggling groceries, gym bags, or travel gear. With the key on your person, a simple motion opens the liftgate to reveal a wide, thoughtfully designed cargo area with a low liftover height. The tailgate can also be closed at the touch of a button for seamless loading and unloading. This feature pairs beautifully with split-folding rear seats, letting you adapt cargo space for everything from strollers and sports equipment to weekend project supplies, all while keeping your hands free and your day moving.

Multi-View Camera System

The available Multi-View Camera System helps you see more of your surroundings when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. By stitching together views from multiple cameras, the system provides a composite display that makes it easier to judge curbs, navigate narrow alleys, or ease into a tight parallel spot. Combined with features like Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), the Multi-View Camera System delivers enhanced situational awareness that is especially helpful around crowded neighborhoods, parking garages, and busy shopping centers.
