[Find a Deal](#) × ## **Summary** The [**2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross**](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/mitsubishi-eclipse-cross/) remains the only small PHEV SUV at a relatively affordable price, bridging the gap between conventional hybrids and fully electric models. Powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine plus dual electric motors, it boasts an EV-only range of around 55km and real-world efficiency that can significantly reduce fuel costs - provided you keep it charged regularly. However, the Eclipse Cross is getting long in the tooth, with an interior that shows its age, older infotainment tech, and only partial advanced safety features. For those looking for a simple PHEV entry point and a comfortable, no-frills driving experience, it’s still worthy of consideration. But anyone wanting a more modern cabin or extended EV driving range may find newer rivals more compelling once they arrive. ## **Pros & Cons** ### **Pros** - Urban-friendly plug-in system with up to 55km EV range - Familiar, user-friendly cabin controls - Spacious rear seats and decent cargo room for a small SUV - Potentially strong value with FBT exemption (until April 2025) ### **Cons** - Dated interior design and touchscreen - Electric-only range not enough for longer commutes - Modest performance once battery is depleted - Main safety technologies locked to higher trims ## **Specs** - **Body Style:** 5-seat small SUV - **Platform:** Mitsubishi GS - **Launched:** 2018, facelifted 2021, minor tweaks ongoing **Engine Options:** - 1.5-litre turbo FWD - 2.4-litre petrol PHEV AWD ## **2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Pricing** ## Pricing Information – 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Before on-road costs Eclipse Cross ES FWD $31,990 Eclipse Cross LS FWD $34,740 Eclipse Cross LS Black Edition FWD $35,990 Eclipse Cross Aspire FWD $36,990 Eclipse Cross LS AWD $37,240 Eclipse Cross Exceed FWD $40,990 Eclipse Cross Exceed AWD $43,490 Eclipse Cross PHEV ES $47,790 Eclipse Cross PHEV Aspire $51,740 Eclipse Cross PHEV Exceed $56,490 Use our [Drive-Away Price Checker](https://www.carexplore.com.au/drive-away-price-checker/) for real-time estimates based on location. **Want a deal on a new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?** **[Find me a deal](#)** **×** ## **Interior & Features** The **Aspire PHEV** tested here offers a mix of cloth/suede-like upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and an 8.0-inch infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

[Add the review here.](https://www.carexplore.com.au/add-a-review/) --- ## **Safety Rating** Formerly rated **five stars by ANCAP (2017)**, that rating has expired. The Eclipse Cross PHEV includes: • AEB with pedestrian detection • Lane departure warning • Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert (LS and above) • Adaptive cruise control, surround-view camera (Aspire and up) Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation is exclusive to the top-spec **Exceed**. --- ## **Eco Rating** No official **GreenNCAP** rating. Its official **1.9L/100km** figure assumes daily battery recharges; once the battery is flat, consumption rises. Electric-only range is around **55km** in ideal conditions. --- ## **Reliability Rating** Owner feedback is largely positive (4.5/5 stars from 31 reviews). Mitsubishi’s 10-year conditional warranty (if serviced through official channels) adds reassurance, and the brand has a long history with plug-in technology via the Outlander PHEV. --- ## **Cost of Ownership** - **Warranty:** 10 years/200,000km (conditional), 8-year/160,000km battery - **Service Intervals:** 12 months or 15,000km - **Capped-Price Servicing:** 10 years, total \~$5940 - **Roadside Assistance:** 12 months free, renewed yearly with servicing While the intervals are standard, total service costs exceed the non-hybrid variant by around $1000 over 10 years. --- ## **Buy a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross** ![CarExplore Logo](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2024/12/C--3-.png) If you're looking to buy a new or used Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, **CarExplore** can help you find the perfect match.

[Find out more](#) × --- ## **Conclusion** The **2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV** offers a gateway to plug-in motoring without the high price tag of larger PHEV SUVs. Around town, its 55km electric range can produce excellent fuel economy - particularly if you keep the battery topped up. It’s an easy driver, with a predictable chassis and a roomy rear seat that suits small families. Yet the car’s older interior, modest all-electric range, and reliance on the 2.4-litre engine once the battery is drained can hamper its broader appeal. With fresh competition looming from brands like [MG](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/mg/), the Eclipse Cross PHEV risks becoming overshadowed. But for those seeking a relatively accessible plug-in SUV that does the basics well, it remains a strong candidate - just keep your expectations modest regarding cabin tech and overall refinement. --- ## Grab a Deal Make: \-- Select Make -- Model: \-- Select Model -- Your Name: Email: Phone Number: Post Code: When do you want to buy?
