Key Features of the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC)

Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) is standard on every 2026 Eclipse Cross, and it is the foundation of the SUV’s confident road manners. S-AWC integrates multiple vehicle control systems and can modulate torque between the wheels to help you maintain traction and directional stability on wet pavement, loose gravel, or slushy winter mornings. The result is a reassuring, planted feel as you corner, merge, or climb steep ramps—exactly the kind of stability you notice in real-world driving. Add in accurate steering and a compliant ride, and the Eclipse Cross delivers a poised, confidence-inspiring drive that helps reduce fatigue on longer trips.

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection

Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection helps you stay alert to what’s ahead by monitoring traffic and pedestrians in your path. If the system detects a potential frontal collision, it can provide visual and audible warnings and, in certain circumstances, apply braking to help reduce the severity of an impact or help avoid it. The system complements other safety technologies including Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and available Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Together, these driver-assistance features work behind the scenes to amplify your awareness in dense traffic, parking lots, and busy downtown areas.

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

Available on select trims, Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) adds everyday convenience and added confidence. Through compatible smartphone integration, you can remotely start or stop the engine on equipped models, lock or unlock doors, check vehicle status, and locate your Eclipse Cross in a crowded lot. Safeguard services can also connect you with assistance in unexpected situations. It’s a simple, intuitive way to extend the usefulness of your SUV beyond the driver’s seat, whether you are coordinating family logistics or heading out on a road trip.

Handsfree Power Tailgate

The available Handsfree Power Tailgate is one of those features you never want to give up once you have it. Approaching the rear with your hands full of groceries or gear, you can open the tailgate without setting anything down. The wide opening helps load bulky items, and the height can be convenient for lower garages. Paired with versatile cargo configurations and useful small-item storage solutions, the cargo area gets top marks for daily utility. Families juggling school bags, sports equipment, and weekly shopping will especially appreciate the stress-free access.

Multi-View Camera System

The available Multi-View Camera System helps simplify close-quarters maneuvers. By stitching together images from multiple cameras, the system can display a composite view that helps you visualize surroundings when navigating tight parking, narrow streets, or busy school pickup lines. Combine this with available LED Headlights for crisp illumination and available Power Folding Side Mirrors for added convenience, and the Eclipse Cross offers friendly technology that smooths out everyday driving challenges without adding complexity.
