The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross range now has a hybrid option. Well, if you want to be technical, it’s the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV or Plug-in hybrid EV, which combines an electric motor and petrol engine with the ability to plug in to recharge to give you up to 55km of claimed electric car driving range.
This new version of the Eclipse Cross small SUV is available in three variants in Australia, all of which attract more than $10,000 of extra asking price over the equivalent turbo-petrol models. That’s a lot of extra money to spend on the opportunity to drive on electric for short distances.
So does the Eclipse Cross PHEV stack up and make sense for the money? Or are you better off considering a full-time hybrid like the Toyota RAV4, or other alternatives such as the Kia Niro PHEV, MG HS PHEV or Hyundai Ioniq PHEV?
