Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV 2021 Review @carsales.com.au

The latest plug-in hybrid electric vehicle from Mitsubishi isn’t cheap but does bring several advantages 👉 Full Review: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/mitsubishi-eclipse-cross-phev-2021-review-132128/

The 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV has arrived as one of the most affordable plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Australia, but that doesn’t mean it’s cheap.

Priced from $46,490 plus on-road costs, it costs about $12,000 more than equivalent petrol-powered versions of the facelifted small SUV. You can buy a purely battery-powered small SUV for less than that.

But unlike an EV, plug-in hybrid vehicles like the 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, which comes standard with all-wheel drive, don’t leave you stranded when their battery pack is depleted and offer the same range as their combustion-powered equivalents.

Mitsubishi says that makes PHEVs the best of both worlds, especially in countries like Australia, while others point out that the extra weight of two different propulsion systems reduces fuel efficiency and that the low official fuel consumption figures of PHEVs can only be achieved if drivers keep their batteries routinely charged.

With the era of electrified vehicles well and truly upon us, the other question new-car buyers are grappling with is which flavour of hybrid to go with. Plugless hybrids like those from Toyota are cheaper, more convenient and much more popular, but don’t deliver as much electric range and therefore overall efficiency as PHEVs.

Can Mitsubishi convince buyers to try its more advanced PHEV tech? We take a closer in this full video review.
