On the plus side, those back seats do have eight different recline settings while the bases slide forward by 20cm, so you can increase boot space if needed and still carry passengers. The rear seats don't fold down flat either. The boot could be better though - it's narrow due to the bulky wheelarch intrusions (one of which houses a speaker) and there are lots of gaps for things to fall down into. There's decent space in the Eclipse Cross and although six-footers will find head room tight in the back - not helped by the sloping roofline - it's no worse than many other crossovers this size. Is it as simple as having a touchscreen? Probably not, but it nonetheless works well and navigating around the different menus is straightforward, even if the touchpad can be a little hesitant to react at times. The laptop-style touchpad is similar to the one that Lexus uses and although it's a little unusual, you soon get used to it. Mitsubishi hasn't tried to reinvent the wheel here - the interior is pretty standard in terms of layout and design, but there is a new touchpad controller that's standard on all models along with a bright colour screen on the dashtop. It's clearly a well put together interior, so while not as premium as some of the competition - there are still some slightly naff buttons hidden away while the silver plastic won't fill you with joy - it still feels solid and built to last. It gets all the basics right too with a good driving position, comfortable yet supportive seats and intuitive controls. The interior of the Eclipse Cross is a big step forward for Mitsubishi with a more upmarket feel and less hard plastics used than previous models. On the inside of an Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018 – 2021) It's also not that cheap compared to the competition and while well-equipped - there are no base-level cars here - there's not much that would tempt you to choose an Eclipse Cross over many of its better-to-drive rivals. It's disappointing given how promising the rest of the car is. It's not especially good to drive with too much lean in corners, a hard ride on models with bigger wheels and artificial feeling steering. Where the Eclipse Cross falls down is on the road. Both transmissions are rated to tow 1,600kg. The latter is fine at a sedate pace but ask for any meaningful acceleration and you're greeted with the usual whine as the engine sits at constant revs.

The standard six-speed manual is far better than the optional CVT automatic. Claimed economy is 42mpg in a two-wheel drive model - you'll probably be seeing around early 30s in real life.

The lack of a diesel will mean high mileage drivers ruling out the Eclipse Cross but a PHEV is on the way. The 1.5-litre petrol is an impressive unit that's responsive yet quiet and with 163PS isn't short of power. There's just one engine at launch - a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged chain cam petrol. The coupe-esque rear end may cut into the load space somewhat - and that split rear tailgate glass compromises the view out the back - but we're assured you can fit four golf bags in the 448-litre boot while the rear seats slide back and forth plus also recline. Practicality wise it's a good family car. We wouldn't say it's as good as something like a SEAT Ateca but everything works intuitively and it feels solidly built. It certainly feels well made and step forward from the likes of the ASX, with less hard plastics and a generally nicer feel throughout. Mitsubishi describes the cabin as its 'best interior ever'. There's certainly a lot going on, whether you like it is personal preference - but it is at least not generic. So what makes the Eclipse Cross stand out from the crowd? Mitsubishi uses lots of words like 'defiant' and 'engaging' when talking about the styling. Not to be left behind, Mitsubishi has this - the Eclipse Cross - its version of the likes of the Nissan Qashqai and Hyundai Tucson. Flavour of the month has become a regular on the menu it seems. Everyone and their aunt has some sort of SUV-style model in their line-up. There's hardly a shortage of crossovers on the market.
