Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The redesigned 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has comfortable seats and some easy-to-use tech features, but it isn’t as modern, refined, or upscale as many of its compact SUV competitors.

Pros
Responsive infotainment controls
Comfortable seats
Great warranty
Less expensive than its classmates

Cons
Outmoded, low-rent interior
Antiquated infotainment interface
Subpar cargo capacity
Less athletic than rivals

After skipping over the 2021 model year, Mitsubishi has given the Eclipse Cross a styling revision for 2022 that includes modernized front- and rear-end treatments. A sleeker-looking rear liftgate eliminates the odd split-rear window design of previous model years.

Pros
Serene highway cruising,
plentiful cargo space,
long standard warranty coverage.

Cons
Middling acceleration,
disappointing fuel efficiency,
base model is awfully basic.

By:

Pros
Long list of standard features
Peppy city driving performance
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Subpar handling abilities
Disappointing fuel economy

By:

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 crossover has some priorities out of order; it doles out fine handling while it delivers a skimpy back seat.

Pros
Looks good inside and out
Taut ride and handling
Available turbo power
Decent value in most trims

Cons
Turbo lag
Moderate acceleration in base version
Cramped back seat
Inferior infotainment

By:

For 2021, the most notable upgrade made to the CX-5 is its new infotainment system. A 10.3-inch touchscreen now sits atop the dashboard instead of the smaller 7.0-inch display found on previous model years. The updated system features the new Mazda Connect interface, Mazda Connected Services (a Wi-Fi hotspot and access to remote vehicle functions through a smartphone app), and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Pros
Luxury aura without the luxury price,
engaging driving behavior,
expeditious turbo engine.

Cons
Base engine accelerates leisurely,
competitors have more cargo space,
tows only 2000 pounds.

By:

New infotainment system with a larger screen.Remote monitoring and control through a smartphone app.Top Signature trim gains some new safety features.

PROS
Keen handling and steering make the CX-5 enjoyable to drive
Attractive and upscale cabin for a premium ownership experience
Optional turbocharged engine provides plenty of power
Quiet at highway speeds

CONS
Base engine's lackluster acceleration
Ride is a little firm for the class
Less rear legroom and cargo room than most competitors
