Why S-AWC Makes the Eclipse Cross a Confident Choice around Saint Paul, MN

Don Robinson Mitsubishi - Why S-AWC Makes the Eclipse Cross a Confident Choice around Saint Paul, MN

When winter weather hits and roads turn unpredictable, traction is more than a buzzword — it’s a daily requirement. That’s where Mitsubishi’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) in the 2025 Eclipse Cross earns its keep. Unlike typical all-wheel-drive setups that simply shuffle power front-to-back, S-AWC coordinates traction, yaw, and braking force at each wheel to help maintain stability while you accelerate, corner, and brake. The result is a compact SUV that feels sure-footed on slush-covered side streets, wet highways, and gravel driveways alike, with a ride and steering tune that keeps you relaxed behind the wheel. Pair that with the 1.5L direct-injection turbocharged engine’s responsive torque, and you have everyday confidence with smart efficiency built in.

When the weather clears, the Eclipse Cross still shines with tech you’ll use every day. The available 8-inch Smartphone Link Display Audio integrates Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so your playlists, podcasts, and preferred navigation live right on screen. Available My MITSUBISHI CONNECT™ brings remote convenience features and peace-of-mind functions to your phone, while myQ® Connected Garage can link your garage door to the vehicle experience. In short, your SUV is more useful and more convenient before you even hop in.

Here are the core reasons S-AWC is a difference-maker for Minnesota drivers:

• All-weather traction: S-AWC helps maximize grip whether the road is dry, wet, snowy, or gravel-covered.
• Balanced handling: By managing yaw and braking forces, the system promotes stability during cornering and braking.
• Everyday confidence: The Eclipse Cross feels planted on commutes and road trips, not just on perfect pavement.
• Integrated safety feel: S-AWC works alongside features like Forward Collision Mitigation and Lane Departure Warning to support driver awareness.

Beyond traction, the Eclipse Cross interior is engineered to simplify life. Available heated front and rear seats take the bite out of early morning drives, and the cargo area’s wide opening makes it easy to load gear for the cabin, rink, or trailhead. Available Handsfree Power Tailgate is a standout convenience when your hands are full with groceries or luggage. And because Mitsubishi backs the powertrain with a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and includes 5-Year/Unlimited-Mile Roadside Assistance, you get meaningful support for the long term.
