Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Since this is only the second year for the Eclipse Cross, Mitsubishi has made very few changes. Midrange LE models now come with gloss-black window-switch controls and all Eclipse Cross models can now be equipped with roof rails.

Pros
Provocative styling,
sturdy build,
well-paired engine and transmission.

Cons
Busy rear design,
ho-hum fuel economy.

The 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has adventurous style, but its running gear’s strictly ordinary.

Pros
Sharp styling
Low price of entry
Solid warranty
Safety features standard on most trims…

Cons
…But not on the base model
Not a value proposition
Short on interior space
Inexpensive-looking materials

By:

The 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comes with front wheel drive, and all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: continuously variable-speed automatic.All-wheel drive no longer standard for most trim levels.SE trim includes additional advanced safety features.

PROS
Provides lots of standard features
Peppy performance from turbocharged engine
Easy-to-use infotainment system

CONS
Ride quality is overly soft and bouncy
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: 
thecarconnection.com

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: 
caranddriver.com

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
