Glassman Mitsubishi – What Makes the 2026 Eclipse Cross a Confident Daily Driver for Troy, MI Commuters?
If your daily routine involves changing weather, varied road surfaces, and quick trips that demand real versatility, the 2026 Eclipse Cross has an answer built in—standard Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC). By coordinating traction and stability logic across all four wheels, the vehicle helps you pull away cleanly in the wet, settle into corners with reassuring composure, and confidently navigate those transitional shoulder seasons that define much of Michigan driving. And because comfort and tech convenience matter just as much as traction, the Eclipse Cross complements its all-weather hardware with thoughtful amenities like available Handsfree Power Tailgate, Power Folding Side Mirrors, and a user-friendly infotainment interface that supports connected, stress-lightened travel.
Beyond the way it grips the road, the Eclipse Cross is engineered to ease the small hassles that add up over the week. Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) helps keep you informed and in control from your phone, whether that means checking vehicle status or using select remote functions. In a hurry with hands full of groceries or gym gear? The available Handsfree Power Tailgate makes loading simple. Need to squeeze into a tight curb space? The Multi-View Camera System available on upper trims gives a helpful look around, while Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) add confidence in traffic and parking lots.
- Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC): Coordinates traction and stability to improve grip, steering response, and composure in dry, wet, or snowy conditions.
- Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection: Helps alert and, when needed, assists with braking to support safer following distances and crowded urban moments.
- Handsfree Power Tailgate: Opens with ease when your hands are full, streamlining errands and school pickups.
- Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services: Offers connected convenience for select remote features and useful alerts.
Trim flexibility is another reason the Eclipse Cross feels tailor-made for commuters. ES models set a strong foundation with LED Daytime Running Lights, Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and those 16-Inch Two-Tone Alloy Wheels. Step to SE or higher, and you can add amenities such as an 8-Way Power Adjustable Driver Seat, LED Headlights, Power Folding Side Mirrors, and the Handsfree Power Tailgate. The SEL trim unlocks the Multi-View Camera System and a richer interior environment, while factors like Paddle Shifters bring extra precision on merging lanes and rolling two-lane highways. What you get across the board is a composed cabin, intuitive controls, and a powertrain tuned for smooth, unobtrusive progress that makes daily transit less taxing.
On the topic of durability and support, Mitsubishi builds assurance into the ownership experience with remarkable warranty coverage. That backing pairs naturally with the Eclipse Cross’s easygoing dynamics and all-weather usability—especially welcome when winter returns or spring brings its sudden downpours. For drivers who want a crossover that works with them, not against them, the formula here is warmly practical: traction you can trust, features you will actually use, and seating that stays comfortable long after the morning’s coffee cools.
