Our team focuses on straightforward guidance, transparent options, and support before and after the sale so you can choose the Eclipse Cross that fits your daily routine and weekend plans.
Performance and control
Eclipse Cross builds driver confidence with standard Super All-Wheel Control that actively helps manage torque and braking to enhance grip in rain, snow, and on dry pavement. The turbocharged engine delivers smooth, usable power for city commutes and highway cruising, while tuning favors quietness and ride comfort over harshness. Steering is light for easy parking, and the suspension is tuned to absorb rough city streets without losing composure.
Design made practical
The exterior blends clean lines with a sporty stance that looks right at home downtown or on a weekend road trip. Inside, the cabin emphasizes visibility, straightforward controls, and generous second-row legroom. The rear seats fold quickly to open up cargo space for camping gear, strollers, or home-improvement runs, and thoughtful storage areas keep everyday items organized.
Technology that works for you
Connectivity feels natural with a touchscreen interface, smartphone integration, and available features such as a handsfree power tailgate and multi-view camera system. Driver assistance features are designed to support rather than distract, including Forward Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and available adaptive cruise control on upper trims. Feature availability varies by configuration, and our team can walk you through what comes standard on each trim.
Trims and who they fit
From smart-value to fully equipped, there is an Eclipse Cross for every checklist. ES keeps things simple for drivers who want dependable all-weather performance with key safety features. SE adds amenities like power driver seating, advanced connectivity, and convenience upgrades. Black Edition dials up style with distinctive exterior details. SEL and SEL Touring deliver a premium feel with leather-appointed seating, heated steering wheel, and available advanced camera views for stress-free maneuvering.
