Dorsett Mitsubishi – Why the 2026 Eclipse Cross SEL TOURING S-AWC Feels Effortless around Champaign-Urbana, IL
When a compact SUV can calm winter commutes, simplify busy errands, and still feel refined on a Sunday drive, you notice. That’s the appeal of the 2026 Eclipse Cross SEL TOURING S-AWC — an SUV shaped by real-world needs and tuned to make every mile smoother. With Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) standard, the Eclipse Cross helps you feel planted in the rain, settled on gravel pull-offs, and confident on frosty mornings. Upstairs, Leather Appointed Seating Surfaces and a Heated Steering Wheel underscore everyday comfort, while the Handsfree Power Tailgate frees up your routine when life has both hands full. Pair that with Paddle Shifters for added control and a Multi-View Camera System that helps with tight urban parking, and you get a trim that anticipates everyday friction — then quietly removes it.
SEL TOURING S-AWC also brings the connected support modern drivers expect. Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) keeps you linked to status updates and remote features beyond the cabin. The cabin itself is hushed at speed, easing conversation and audio clarity, and the turbocharged powertrain pairs smoothly with the transmission to keep progress confident and relaxed. The result is a compact SUV that not only gets the job done but does it with composure — a versatile partner for commutes, school runs, and weekend getaways.
