2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gets a light update rather than a redesign. The main change is Rear Seat Alert becoming standard on every trim.
About the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
1st generation (2018-2026), after the major 2022 styling/interior refresh; 2025 is the fourth model year after that update.
Mitsubishi positions the Eclipse Cross as a compact SUV for shoppers who want bold styling and standard all-wheel drive without moving into a larger vehicle. The brand’s message centers on confidence: motorsport-linked S-AWC traction, useful safety tech, and a look that stands out from plainer small crossovers. Its main appeal is as an all-weather daily driver with a sportier visual identity than many mainstream rivals, rather than as the roomiest or most powerful choice in the class.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the straightforward ES with standard all-wheel drive to the comfort-focused SEL with leather seating, a heated steering wheel, and a multi-view camera. SE emphasizes useful everyday tech such as adaptive cruise control and a hands-free liftgate, while the revised Black Edition adds darker exterior details and two rear spoilers to SE-based equipment. RALLIART remains the boldest-looking version, with red-and-black exterior trim, graphics, and red cabin stitching rather than extra power.
