    The Eclipse Cross, introduced by Mitsubishi in 2018, is a small SUV with seating up to 5. With standard all-wheel drive (AWD), it handles mud, snow, and sand with ease. Mitsubishi offers a 5-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty, and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is somewhat unsafe compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a score of 68, implying a 0.058% chance of driver death (5.1% chance of injury). If equipped with optional advanced driver safety features, the chance of death falls to 0.049%, and the chance of injury falls to 4.4%.

    We estimate that the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0575% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 6.5676%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0575% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 6.5676% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is 23% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is 41% more likely to result in a fatal accident.

    2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross offers AEB optionally. With AEB, the vehicle lifetime fatality chance drops by 14%.

    Active safety features on the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross can protect loved ones by preventing accidents and reducing accident severity. An active safety system that is standard on the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). Optional safety features on the 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross which we recommend include Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Monitoring.

    A safety feature that may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances, should still be considered. Standard side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.

    And it is less safe than many comparable cars.
