The result is a crossover that feels settled and confident, whether cruising across town or heading out for a longer drive.
Design is a highlight. The exterior features crisp character lines, a purposeful stance, and available trim accents that add a modern, premium touch. Inside, supportive seating and a driver-focused layout help reduce fatigue, while the rear bench offers generous legroom for a compact footprint. The cargo area is straightforward and useful, with room for daily errands or a packed weekend. Materials strike a practical balance—durable where it counts, with elevated textures and finishes available as you move up the lineup.
Technology brings everything together. An intuitive touchscreen makes everyday tasks like navigation, music, and calls feel second nature, and available smartphone integration helps keep favorite apps within easy reach. Connected services add convenience with remote features and security tools, and available driver-assistance systems support alert, confident driving. The Eclipse Cross can be equipped with features such as Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and a Multi-View Camera System—tools designed to help sense and respond to the unexpected.
