Amongst the uber-luxurious SUV reveals from the likes of Infiniti, BMW, Porsche and others at last weeks Dubai International Motor Show, the all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross made its first appearance in the region and was indeed a crowd favourite.
Set to slot in between the smaller ASX and 7-seater Outlander, the 2018 Mitsubishi Cross boasts a sharp exterior thanks to slanted, dual front grille finished in chrome, custom designed LED headlights as well and a deep ower front end.
Around the back, the rear hatch protrudes out similar to that of the Toyota C-HR with an eye-catching spoiler resting just above. From the side, the model gives off a coupe impression thanks to steeply raked A and C Pillars.
As for options, the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross benefits from a wide selection of safety and creature comfort features as standard as well as a long list of optional extra.
Adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, lane-change assist and blind-spot warning system just to name a few.
Driving Mitsubishi’s latest model is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine rated at 163 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Mated to a CVT gearbox, the quirky crossover launches to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds while its top speed is electronically capped at 200 km/h.
