PHEV power! Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross hybrid 2023 review: Plug-in Hybrid EV Exceed | Family-friendly? |
|
Mitsubishi was an early mover in petrol-electric hybrid passenger cars, with the full-size Outlander PHEV arriving a decade ago. Since then the technology has been refined and trickled down to the compact Eclipse Cross.
Offered in three grades, the Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid EV Exceed sits at the top of the tree, combining a 2.4-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine with twin electric motors, for optimal efficiency and all-wheel drive capability. Predominantly pitched at young urban families, Helen Frost drove it in the city before taking the car out of its comfort zone on a road trip from Sydney, more than 750 kilometres north to Byron Bay, looking for charging options and assessing fuel efficiency all the way. She’s also looked at size and family practicality, as well as broader ownership costs, safety, performance and on-board technology. If you’re in the market for a city-sized SUV, with open road ability and hybrid efficiency, Helen has the answers to all your questions.
