The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV range has gained a tweaked, new flagship in the form of the GLS Exceed.
“We always strive to offer our customers modern products and speak to their needs, and the refinements to the Eclipse Cross GLS Exceed aim to do exactly that,” says Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Of marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA).
The latest model year updates include colour-coded bumpers and heated exterior door mirrors.
The Eclipse Cross comes with two engine variants – the 2,0-litre MIVEC DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that boasts 110 kW at 6 000 r/min and 198 Nm at 4 200 r/min and the 1,5-litre four-cylinder turbo offering 110 kW at 5 500 r /min and 250Nm at 3 500 r/min.
The new variant hauls its weight through an eight-step INVECS-III CVT gearbox, which incorporates a sports mode.
Standard Equipment includes seven crash bags, child seat anchors, anti-lock braking with EBD, AYC (Active Yaw Control), Brake Assist System, Hill Start Assist System, Active Stability and Traction Control.
The GLS Exceed model also gains a panoramic tilt and slide sunroof as standard fitment, which comes standard with a UV protective coating, LED illumination with brightness settings and an electrically operated cover accessible via the touch of a button.
“We believe that the Eclipse Cross continues to offer a great combination of a sleek, sporty design combined with SUV capabilities, and the latest round of refinements go a long way in cementing its position as a vehicle that perfectly embodies what the Mitsubishi brand represents,” says Allison.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross retails with a 3-year/100 000 km manufacturer’s warranty, a 5-year unlimited mileage roadside assistance and a 5-year/90 000 km service plan.
