Why did the 2022 Eclipse Cross receive this score?
Every variant of the 2022 Eclipse Cross earned the 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, including models with front-wheel drive and models with Super All-Wheel Control. The compact SUV performed well in the NHTSA’s crash tests, receiving four stars in the driver- and passenger-side frontal crash tests as well as the rollover test. In the combined side-crash test, the NHTSA gave the model five stars.
Safety features of the Eclipse Cross
The 2022 Eclipse Cross comes with more driver-assist technologies than it did in years past. Newly standard Forward Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection prevents front-end collisions from occurring, while Lane Departure Warning keeps you from drifting out of your lane. Each model also has Mitsubishi’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution body, which uses crumple zones and strategic reinforcements to protect you in the event of a crash.
You have to pay extra for Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, and Blind Spot Warning, but these systems keep you better aware of the vehicles around you in parking lots and on the road. The available multi-view camera system also shows a bird’s-eye view and a wide-angle view of the Eclipse Cross to make parking easier. In addition, available rain-sensing wipers automatically clear away water from the windshield so you can focus on the road during inclement weather.
