The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross for 2023 gives you the same kind of features you appreciated in 2022. The price is attractive and this compact SUV now comes with standard all-wheel drive. In addition, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will keep saving you money after you drive it home with outstanding fuel economy. The Subaru Crosstrek is a small subcompact with standard all-wheel drive. Here's a comparison of both models from Mossy Mitsubishi Escondido in Escondido CA.
A comparison of engines
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will give you 152 horsepower. The Subaru Crosstrek also provides a standard 152-horsepower engine in its 2.0-liter flat-four. You have the option of moving up to a 182-horsepower 2.5-liter flat-four Subaru engine but you'll have to pay extra for the bigger engine. Both SUVs employ a continuously variable automatic transmission.
A comparison of performance
The 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine can do a zero-to-60-mph time of 8.6 seconds. The Subaru Crosstrek took longer to reach 60 mph with a time of 9.2 seconds. Even with the faster plug-in hybrid model, the Subaru Crosstrek still takes slightly longer than the Eclipse Cross to reach 60 mph at 8.7 seconds. The differences are small but small differences can add up with the new 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
A comparison of fuel efficiency
Both models can save you quite a bit of money on gas. The Eclipse Cross gives you an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on highways around El Cajon and San Diego, CA. The Subaru Crosstrek is also a money-saver, doing a little better than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with 28 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway.
A comparison of warranties
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comes out ahead when it comes to its warranty coverage with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and an amazing 10-year/100,000-mile warranty on the powertrain. The Subaru Crosstrek gives you only a three-year/36,000-mile limited basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile warranty on the powertrain. As you can see, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is much better than the Subaru Crosstrek when it comes to the warranty.
A comparison of interior space
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gives you 23.4 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and 50.1 cubic feet when you fold those rear seats down.

Both models do a good job of providing space but it’s distributed in different ways.
A comparison of infotainment technology
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross gives you a standard 7-inch touchscreen and a standard four-speaker stereo. The Subaru Crosstrek also gives you a standard four-speaker stereo but the touchscreen display is a little smaller at only 6.5 inches.
