With a 10-year/160,000 km powertrain warranty, an attractive price, commendable build quality and proven reliability, the Eclipse Cross has many great attributes, at least on paper. In reality, this Mitsubishi struggles to compete with the many other compact SUVs in the segment. Some will say it suffers from being stuck between the smaller RVR and the larger Outlander.

Back in May 2021 when Mitsubishi announced its intention to revive the Ralliart sub-brand, a part of us got excited.
