Glassman Mitsubishi – How the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Keeps Everyday Tech Simple for Troy, MI Commuters
When your day is stacked from the first email to the last errand, a vehicle that just works is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. For many drivers around Troy, MI, the right compact SUV blends everyday comfort, smart connectivity, and the kind of all-weather assurance that keeps you on schedule even when the forecast changes. That is where the Eclipse Cross lineup shines, pairing standard Super-All Wheel Control with an interface that makes your phone, navigation, and audio feel natural rather than demanding. The layout is clean and the response is quick, so you spend less time swiping and more time focusing on the road. Add in the available Handsfree Power Tailgate and power-folding side mirrors, and your daily loop feels simpler, calmer, and genuinely more efficient.
The heart of the experience is how refined touches and intelligent systems stack together. On SE and above, the 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto puts your essentials in one place, while Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services lets you check in on your Eclipse Cross from your phone, send commands, and feel more at ease when plans extend past daylight. The cabin itself stays uncommonly quiet for the class, and the seats hold up well on longer stints across I-75 or when you’re winding through neighborhoods before dinner. If you want a higher-end feel, SEL models bring Leather Appointed Seating Surfaces, an 8-way power passenger seat, and available paddle shifters for more engaged on-ramps. And because every trim includes Super-All Wheel Control, traction and stability are built in, not tacked on. That matters when winter rolls through and you still have to be three places at once.
For drivers mapping out practicality and peace of mind, these are the tech highlights worth a close look:
- Smartphone integration: Upper trims bring an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reducing app-juggling and making your favorite tools feel native.
- Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services: Remote access and support features help you stay connected to the vehicle when you’re away, adding convenience and confidence.
- Handsfree Power Tailgate: When your hands are full, a motion-activated tailgate is the difference between awkward balancing and seamless loading.
- Power Folding Side Mirrors: Tight downtown parking and residential garages feel more manageable at the touch of a button.
- Super-All Wheel Control: Standard traction and stability help keep things steady when rain turns to slush or a weekend storm lingers into Monday.
Of course, a smart compact SUV has to do the basics exceptionally well. That’s why visibility and ride comfort count just as much as screens and apps. The Eclipse Cross keeps sightlines clear and minimizes road noise, making conversation easier and stress lower. And with features like Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Warning standard, plus available Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, you get added confidence when traffic is dense and time is tight. It’s a practical package that meets the real demands of commuting, carpool duty, and weekends in stride.
