Trims and Engine Type

For the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the new lineup is as follows – ES, LE, SE, SE Package, SEL, and SEL Touring. With a S-AWC Drive Mode Selector standard on all trims, this would suggest that Mitsubishi Motors’ own special all-wheel drive system, Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system has also been equipped for superb driver control in a number of conditions. Every trim is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine able to generate 152 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

Engineering

Also an in-house tech, an 8-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT) transfers the power in every trim. Because of this, the fuel economy is shared across the lineup. The 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a fuel economy of 25 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
