“The Eclipse Cross handles very well on the road, around curves, on gravel, and snow. It gets great gas mileage and gives you a lot for your money.”
2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gets a light trim update rather than a redesign. The headline change is the new Black Edition, which adds a darker factory-customized look.
About the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
1st generation (2018-2026 U.S.), in the post-2022 facelift period; 2024 is the third model year after that major refresh.
Mitsubishi positions the Eclipse Cross as a compact SUV for shoppers who want something sharper-looking than the usual small crossover, but still practical for daily driving. Its biggest model-wide differentiator is standard all-wheel drive on every U.S. trim, paired with a small turbo engine and a manageable footprint. The pitch is straightforward: sporty styling, all-weather confidence, useful safety tech, and a compact size that is easy to live with.
Every 2024 Eclipse Cross has a 1.5-liter turbo engine, an automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. ES is the practical starting point, while LE adds heated front seats and smartphone integration; SE and SEL bring more comfort and driver-assistance equipment. Black Edition emphasizes black exterior details, while RALLIART uses rally-inspired graphics and body trim without changing the engine.

What is the biggest change to the 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?
The biggest change is the addition of the Black Edition trim. It gives the Eclipse Cross black exterior accents, black roof rails, and sport pedals while retaining the same turbo engine and all-wheel-drive system as the rest of the lineup.
Is adaptive cruise control standard on the 2024 Eclipse Cross SEL?
Yes. Adaptive cruise control is standard on the 2024 Eclipse Cross SEL; it was optional on the 2023 SEL.
Does every 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross have all-wheel drive?
Yes. Every 2024 Eclipse Cross uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, an automatic transmission, and Mitsubishi's all-wheel-drive system.
Is the 2024 Eclipse Cross worth considering over the 2023 model?
The 2024 model makes the most sense over a 2023 if you want the new Black Edition or standard adaptive cruise control on the SEL. Otherwise, the core engine, automatic transmission, all-wheel-drive system, and overall design are largely unchanged.
