For anyone who remembers the Mitsubishi Eclipse from its tuner-car heyday, the name likely sparks visions of turbocharged engines, sculpted coupes, and Fast & Furious nostalgia. But times have changed. And so has the Eclipse. Today, the badge has evolved—reborn not as a sports coupe, but as a sleek, confident crossover: 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
This modern reinterpretation doesn’t try to mimic the past. Instead, it reshapes it—bringing the spirit of the original Mitsubishi Eclipse into a compact SUV that’s ready for real-world adventures.
Before we get into the hardware, let’s take a moment to appreciate the evolution. The original Mitsubishi Eclipse was all about flair, attitude, and that unmistakable “let’s go for a drive just because” energy. The 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross keeps that energy alive but channels it through a more versatile platform. It’s built for everyday life—commuting, road trips, city errands, you name it—without losing the sense of style and fun that made its predecessor iconic.
This isn’t about reliving the past—it’s about making the Eclipse name relevant again. And judging by what Mitsubishi’s done with this SUV, it works.
At the core of the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a 1.5-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine. It’s compact, sure, but it punches above its weight with just the right balance of responsiveness and efficiency. In a world of oversized, over-tuned engines, Mitsubishi smartly opts for a powertrain that feels nimble around town and smooth on the highway.
Paired with the brand’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system, this SUV brings surprising traction to the table. Brandon drivers who find themselves navigating rainy afternoons or heading out toward the Gulf for a weekend getaway will appreciate the extra confidence. It grips when you want it to, adapts when the roads change, and makes the most of every turn without drama.
Now let’s talk design, because that’s where the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross really leans into its roots. You’ll notice a sharp, coupe-like silhouette that nods to the past, but this is no retro clone. The sculpted lines stretch gracefully from the bold Dynamic Shield front fascia to a tapered rear, creating a profile that looks sportier than most in the compact SUV crowd.
Up front, sleek LED headlamps carve into the bodywork like blades, while a confident stance gives the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross a road presence that feels athletic without being aggressive. And thanks to features like available 18-inch alloy wheels and a panoramic sunroof, this crossover doesn’t blend in—it stands out. It feels right at home parked along Brandon’s downtown strip or pulling into a driveway out in Valrico.
Step inside and things start to get a little more tech-forward—but never cold or clinical. The layout is intuitive, with controls that are right where you expect them and materials that feel a cut above what you might expect in a compact SUV.
The available 8.0-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio system anchors the dash, offering seamless connectivity with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. That means less fumbling with your phone and more focus on the drive.
And if you’ve ever baked in a Florida parking lot, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful details. Available heated front seats and a dual-zone climate control system help make the cabin more comfortable during Brandon’s more humid months. Meanwhile, the rear seatbacks recline for added passenger comfort—so your backseat crew can relax during longer stretches on I-75.
Mitsubishi didn’t stop at good looks and smart tech. The 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comes with a collection of safety features that work quietly in the background to help keep you on track. Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection scans the road ahead. Lane Departure Warning gives you a nudge if you begin to drift. Automatic High Beams adjust lighting as needed. These features aren’t flashy—but they’re the kind of smart, real-world tools that make a difference in everyday driving.
And since Brandon’s roads can swing from fast-moving expressways to tight neighborhood turns, it’s reassuring to know the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is watching out for you with an extra layer of digital awareness.
