2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE

This is Mitsubishi's compact SUV, the one that sits between the Outlander Sport and the Outlander. If you're cross-shopping the Honda HR-V or the Nissan Kicks, this is the Mitsubishi take on that idea. It's a comfortable, easygoing commuter with a smooth ride that soaks up rough pavement well. The cabin is roomy for the class, with a tall seating position and a decent amount of cargo space behind the second row. A hands-free power liftgate, heated front seats, and the 8.0-inch navigation system with embedded nav set the SE apart from the base ES. Its 1.5L I4 makes 152 horsepower and pairs with a CVT and standard all-wheel drive, which gives you sure-footed traction in rain or light snow without demanding much from you at the pump. The SE adds rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming mirror, small touches that make the daily commute a little more effortless.
