2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross updated
Black Edition joins upgraded small SUV range with increased equipment levelsDetails of the upgraded 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross have been announced today, including improved standard equipment levels and modest price rises of $500 across the small SUV range.
Pitched as a more upmarket, more visually interesting alternative to the Japanese car-maker’s ancient mainstream small SUV, the Mitsubishi ASX, all Eclipse Cross variants now score lane departure warning, auto wipers and headlights, soundproof front windscreen glass and a rear LED fog light as standard.
The downside is a $500 price hike for all grades, from the entry-level Eclipse Cross ES (now $31,990 plus on-road costs) to the range-topping Exceed ($56,490 +ORCs).
There are now 10 Eclipse Cross variants spanning front- and all-wheel drive layouts along with turbo-petrol and non-turbo petrol plug-in hybrid powertrains. See below for the full price list.
The mid-range Black Edition ($35,990 +ORCs) variant is now a full-time member of the Eclipse Cross family, adding a striking new ‘image’ variant to the range. It sits above the LS grade ($34,740 +ORCs) and adds the following features:
- Lane Change Assist
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Black 18-inch alloy wheels
- Gloss-black door mirrors
- Gloss-black front and rear bumper skid plates
- Deleted roof rails
- Electrochromatic (self-dimming) rear-view mirror
- USB-A and USB-C power sockets in the rear console
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Black Edition is only available with the Japanese brand’s 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine (110kW/250Nm), matched as standard with a single-speed (CVT) automatic transmission.
Further equipment upgrades over the LS trim include black and dark silver interior accents, a dimpled black leather steering wheel with grey stitching, four-way power adjustable driver's seat and heated front seats, plus synthetic micro-suede and faux leather combo seat upholstery.
Ironically, the Black Edition can be ordered in White, Black, Red and Titanium grey paint colours. Other models can be ordered with these hues along with Silver and Blue hues.
The Black Edition is not available with the more expensive 2.4-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain (94kW/199Nm), comprising a 13.8kWh battery pack and front (60kW) and rear (70kW) e-motors.
Although the $500 price rises for the entry-level ES and Black Edition models appear justified, there are no significant upgrades for the other variants in the range despite the range-wide price rise.
Of course, Mitsubishi’s conditional 10-year/200,000km warranty and 10-year capped price servicing program applies to the Eclipse Cross, which so far this year is the Japanese brand’s fourth best seller behind the Outlander, Triton and ASX.
The updated 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross range is available now from Mitsubishi dealerships.
