Reviews Summary

Now in its second generation, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a compelling package. It offers good tech and safety features courtesy of its corporate parent Nissan, and its pricing is in line with the brand’s value-driven mandate. If you’re in the market for a three-row crossover SUV and want to explore your plug-in hybrid options, we can’t fault you for looking closely at the Outlander. After testing an Outlander PHEV in SEL trim, we loved its all-electric driving range but were unimpressed by the roly-poly driving experience, and we would reserve third-row vacancies for only our worst enemies.

Reviews Summary

Most entrants in the compact SUV segment seem to have their own personalities. The Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V are upscale. The Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester are designed for active lifestyles. The Hyundai Tucson is all about value (but it's trending upscale). The Kia Sportage offers value and is sporty, too. But what of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross? The bold styling indicates some level of performance. But as we will come to learn, it can barely back that up. Modern styling would indicate perhaps some of the latest technology. You won’t find that in here either. The Eclipse Cross has a low starting price, but for what you get, other more expensive rivals are actually a better value.

There are no cliffhangers or teasers here. The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross just can't keep up with the competition. But it does a few things right. Read on to learn what they are (ok maybe one cliffhanger).
