At Nielsen Mitsubishi in Rockaway, we're proud to be the dealership that Hackettstown and Dover drivers turn to for the latest Mitsubishi models and styles and we want to help you get to know our collection better so you can make the best choice for your needs.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

One of the most popular models in the collection at our US 46 showroom in Rockaway Township, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a stylish and eye-catching small SUV that combines the features and drivability that our customers love. It seats five people in two rows and it comes in a comprehensive list of six trim levels, to help drivers personalize their ride with the features they really want.

Continuing in its first outstanding generation, which debuted in 2018, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a great investment for any SUV shopper in the Denville area. But we know that there are other, similarly sized SUVs in this class that may be competing for your attention. To streamline the process and illustrate what makes the Eclipse Cross the better choice, we've done an in-depth analysis of our SUV next to a competing model. Read on to learn more about some of the ways in which the Eclipse Cross eclipses the competition.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs. Toyota RAV4

Like the Eclipse Cross, the Toyota RAV4 is a well-known compact SUV that drivers have been gravitating to for the last few years. Both seat five and appear to have a lot in common, but looking deeper into the models shows us a few key areas where the Mitsubishi comes out ahead. For example,:

• Exterior features. As small SUVs, both the Eclipse Cross and the Toyota RAV4 have signature crossover exterior design elements, including four doors, an elevated ground clearance, and a rear liftgate that allows for easy access to the cargo hold. However, when you look a little closer, you'll notice that our Eclipse Cross has exterior design features that come standard for all models, but don't come standard on the Toyota RAV4, such as fog lights and heated exterior mirrors.
• Interior features. Slip inside the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and discover an interior that's well-crafted and comfortable whether you're just heading across town or stretching out for a longer road trip. In fact, not only is the Eclipse Cross interior well-equipped and meticulously designed, it also puts the needs of both driver and passengers at the forefront, with extra interior features that come standard. Eclipse Cross standard amenities that aren't standard for the RAV4 include a height-adjustable driver's seat, backseats that slide, recline and fold in a 60 / 40 split, and automatic climate control.
• Customizable package options. Both the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and the Toyota RAV4 have six trim level options to choose from, with a comprehensive menu of features attached to each one. But the Eclipse Cross lets drivers customize their ride even further than the RAV4, with a selection of add-on packages that are loaded with sought-after, high-end features. Availability of these packages depends on which trim you prefer, but each one can help you pack on the amenities you love and get the SUV you really want.
• Manufacturer warranty. With one of the best manufacturer warranties around, Mitsubishi protects your investment. With the Eclipse Cross, this means a warranty that covers you for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Comparatively, the RAV4 warranty is less inclusive, with coverage that only lasts 5 years or 60,000 miles.
