Many compact SUVs reserve all-wheel drive for higher trims or optional packages—a common pain point when you simply want surefootedness from the start. The Eclipse Cross solves that by making S-AWC standard, which helps on slick surfaces, uneven lanes, and busy Newark, DE routes. Mitsubishi’s warranty coverage also sets a high bar, offering one of the industry’s strongest powertrain limited warranties alongside 2 years/30,000 miles of limited maintenance and 5 years of 24-hour Roadside Assistance. Add available convenience features like a Handsfree Power Tailgate and a Multi-View Camera System, and you get tangible, daily-use advantages. While some rivals may tout larger screens or slight acceleration gains, they often charge extra for all-wheel traction and advanced safety bundles.
