  • The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV has just landed Down Under! It brings a petrol engine, 2 electric motors and 13.8kWh battery pack stolen straight from the bigger Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (and it's good for a range of ~50kms!) But is the Eclipse Cross PHEV really worth its hefty price tag of around $50,000? Today, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about the new 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV!
    The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV competes with the MG HS PHEV and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV - Which would you take?

    I drove one today - was very impressed. It felt way faster than 10 seconds to 100km/h - felt more like 7.5 seconds. I threw it around a roundabout in a deluge of a rainfall. A little bit of understeer that corrected itself with just backing off the throttle.
    All in all it felt solid, well built, smooth and composed.

    As the Eclipse Cross PHEV runs an identical engine/hybrid system as the Outlander, the total power output is 157KWS and 330NMS..Not bad figures actually.

    Great review thanks. As petrol in NZ is now over $3 a litre I test drove a VRX Eclipse Cross yesterday, I was incredibly surprised with how good it was. I ordered one today. NZ ev purchases attract a $5750 govt rebate to. Your review helped my decision immensely. Cheers

    Okay so I just bought one - it is lovely to drive and everyone seems to love the look of it. I’m coming from a top spec Ford Mondeo - to a mid spec Eclipse Cross PHEV - love many aspects of this, missing some features of the Ford, like the great infotainment system and luxury feel.

    A pretty average review really ... you don't reveal what the L/100km is when running on hybrid for an extended trip (4.4 L/100km around town with a flat battery according to AA NZ), no mention of the 10 year warranty or 8 year battery warranty and no information at all about how well it goes off-road. It is an SUV after all ......

    Phev technology needs to be properly analyze if you really want to save Gas. Heaps of people out there have a Phev SUV but they use it improper and unsuitable to their surroundings, In short it was use wrongly. For example, many out there owns a Phev but when they travel long distance they shift the Regenerate Braking in to Drive mode or D witch is wrong because it will consume a lot of Gas because the force of regenerate breaking still high and that engine will have more difficulty because the brake is still stuck and it needs more gas, The Proper way of using phev on a highway is shift your steering wheel shifter to B-O and if your going down a hill then that's the time you shift to K1 up to K5 if you need to add a little on your battery. Phev is a very complex technology, If you know how to use it then you get a good result.

    You get the nice government discount if novatefd leasing the phev. Makes it much cheaper than leasing any other comparable SUV.

  • @graantmnz
    @graantmnz 2 года назад

    its heavy, and needs more power from its engine....and it uses up the battery too quickly around town ....so as it has 2 electric motors, why didn't mitsubishi have the means to turn one ( ie front one ) off so it just uses one to give it more range around town ..that would be a sensible thing to do. The ford escape phev was a better all round drive to us ...more power for open road travel, for passing and merging.

      Incorrect if you are in Australia. No complete car service for its first 10 years costs $1000.

    Ask existing users if Mitsubishi will even acknowledge battery Degradation. They wriggle and squirm despite clear evidence and just won't do squat unless threatened with consumer protection measures. I've bought my last ever Mitsubishi.

    You’ve been very fair to this car, @Matt.
    This is my take on this car:
    [Mitsu Engineering Mgr] Yes, we have the technorogy!
    [Mitsu Sustainability Mgr] This car is so green if you do less than 50kms a day and ignore the environmental costs of disposal!
    [Mitsu dealer] How am I supposed to sell any of these fukn things at that price! I’m gonna beg for a sales job at Toyota; their HEVs are selling like hotcakes. I’ve got a huge mortgage to pay off and kids to feed.

    Poor and unprofessional review, your last eclipse cross review was extremely terrible as well. Let's complain about the indicator lever, and piano black.
    And just ignore the 10 year warranty, reliability, comfort. Cars are not meant to be driving for so long right!!
