Glassman Mitsubishi – Why the 2026 Eclipse Cross SE S-AWC Feels Right for Pontiac, MI Adventures
The 2026 Eclipse Cross SE S-AWC has the kind of balanced personality that makes it an easy yes for daily life and weekend plans alike. It is compact enough for city parking yet spacious enough for friends and gear, and it is engineered to be calm and composed on the road. Standard Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) is the difference maker in year-round confidence, using selectable drive modes and smart torque management to put traction where it matters. The result is predictable handling in rain, light snow, and on broken pavement, so you can plan that early errand run or late return with more peace of mind.
Inside, the SE is about comfort and simplicity without excess. The 8-Way Power Adjustable Driver Seat helps you dial in ideal posture quickly, and Synthetic Suede Seating Surfaces add a premium look and feel. The everyday touches stand out: FAST-Key Entry System and Push Button Start reduce key juggling, the Handsfree Power Tailgate lightens grocery and gear duty, and Power Folding Side Mirrors protect your space in tight parking. Technology keeps pace, too. Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) brings remote lock-unlock, vehicle status, and help when you need it most, while LED Headlights and Automatic Headlights make nightfall feel routine rather than stressful.
