Turbocharged Control: Eclipse Cross S-AWC vs. RAV4 AWD

Toyota restricts base RAV4 models to front-wheel drive, requiring buyers to pay extra for all-wheel capability. In contrast, every new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross features standard Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC). Refined through decades of motorsport heritage, S-AWC actively manages torque output and braking force across all four wheels to maximize grip on rain-slicked highways in Irving or uneven surfaces around Granbury.

The Eclipse Cross generates 184 lb-ft of low-RPM peak torque from its 1.5L turbocharged engine—delivering immediate power as low as 2,000 RPM. By comparison, the RAV4’s 2.5L gas engine produces 163 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 RPM, relying heavily on its hybrid battery system for off-the-line movement. An 8-speed Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) featuring Sport Mode gives the Eclipse Cross direct, punchy acceleration without complex hybrid energy management.

Unmatched Peace of Mind: Mitsubishi Warranty Protection

Confidence comes standard on every Mitsubishi model. When comparing long-term ownership security, the Eclipse Cross far outpaces the RAV4 with America’s Best-Backed Vehicles coverage:

  • 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty: Provides double the powertrain protection timeframe of Toyota’s 5-year/60,000-mile plan.
  • 5-Year / 60,000-Mile Basic Warranty: Extends well past Toyota’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic coverage.
  • 5-Year / Unlimited-Mile Roadside Assistance: Delivers 24/7 emergency support, beating Toyota’s 2-year limitation.
  • 2-Year / 30,000-Mile Limited Maintenance: Includes factory-scheduled maintenance for original owners.

Modern Style and Exclusive Cabin Tech

The Eclipse Cross rejects generic SUV design with a dynamic, sculpted exterior and available RALLIART styling accents. Drivers commuting through Arlington and cruising through Weatherford gain access to premium features designed for your convenience:

  • S-AWC Drive Mode Selector: Adjusts handling parameters for auto, gravel, or snow with a quick turn of a dial.
  • Mitsubishi Power Sound System: Delivers deep, crystal-clear acoustic response specifically engineered for the cabin layout.
  • Mitsubishi Connect Services: Includes remote start, door lock control, and climate pre-conditioning right from your smartphone.
