MITSUBISHI has added the Eclipse Cross GLS Exceed to its large range of SUVs.
The Eclipse Cross GLS Exceed will take up the flagship position of the Eclipse Cross range, and features several model year updates and cosmetic refinements.
“We strive to always offer our customers products that are modern, and speak to their needs – and the refinements to the Eclipse Cross aim to do exactly that,” said Jeffrey Allison, general manager: marketing at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa.
The Eclipse Cross continues to stand out from the crowded SUV segment, thanks to a sporty and stylish design that culminates in sculpted character lines. The overall concept combines the sporty shape of a coupé with the space and practicality of an SUV.
The unmistakable dynamic shield front face is flanked by twin oval headlamps that contribute to the high-tech image.
At the rear, a sculpted hexagonal design incorporates a single piece of glass while the lamps feature a distinctive three-dimensional Y-shaped design.
The exterior design integrates the latest model year updates, now including colour-coded bumpers and heated exterior door mirrors.
The Eclipse Cross is still offered with two engine variants, including the 2.0 litre MIVEC DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that boasts 110kW and 198Nm.
The top of the range Eclipse Cross is fitted with Mitsubishi’s latest 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that makes use of turbocharging to offer 110kW and 250Nm while at the same time, being extremely fuel-efficient.
A big contributor to this combination of performance and fuel efficiency is Mitsubishi’s eight-step INVECS-III CVT, that incorporates a sports mode, delivers effortless acceleration and ensures that the engine offers optimum performance at all times.
The GLS Exceed model also gains a panoramic tilt and slide sunroof as standard fitment, which comes standard with a UV protective coating, LED illumination with brightness settings as well as an electrically operated cover that can be opened and closed via the touch of a button.
