Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross hybrid 2022 review: PHEV plug-in hybrid EV variant test - MG HS PHEV rival!

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross range now has a hybrid option. Well, if you want to be technical, it's the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV or Plug-in hybrid EV, which combines an electric motor and petrol engine with the ability to plug in to recharge to give you up to 55km of claimed electric car driving range. This new version of the Eclipse Cross small SUV is available in three variants in Australia, all of which attract more than $10,000 of extra asking price over the equivalent turbo-petrol models. That's a lot of extra money to spend on the opportunity to drive on electric for short distances. So does the Eclipse Cross PHEV stack up and make sense for the money? Or are you better off considering a full-time hybrid like the Toyota RAV4, or other alternatives such as the Kia Niro PHEV, MG HS PHEV or Hyundai Ioniq PHEV? -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 01:59 Pricing and features 03:01 Design 03:55 Practicality 08:35 Safety 09:31 Under the bonnet 10:38 Range and charging 12:45 Ownership 13:26 Driving 17:30 Verdict -- Visit our Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross hub: https://bit.ly/4cwv7gz Check out our EV guide: https://bit.ly/3DjhPTX CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Check us out: http://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our channel: http://carsgui.de/2aMzFTT Follow us on Twitter: http://carsgui.de/2ah6eta Like us on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/17kv9Ui See our Instagram: http://carsgui.de/2aQ0M1H #CarsGuide #mitsubishi #eclipsecross #SUV #phev #ev #hybrid
