The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a compact crossover that revived a famous nameplate in coupe-SUV form, and the American version has a distinct specification worth understanding before you import.
Model profile
The Eclipse Cross (code GK) launched globally for 2018, slotting between the Outlander Sport and the larger Outlander. Its defining feature at launch was a split rear window and a coupe-like sloping tail. A significant 2022 facelift reworked the rear entirely, replacing the divided glass with a conventional tailgate, extending the body and updating the interior and infotainment.
Powertrain and equipment
Every US Eclipse Cross uses the 1.5-litre turbocharged four (engine family 4B40) producing 152 hp and about 184 lb-ft of torque, driving through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a manual mode.
The Eclipse Cross is a five-door compact crossover only. US trims ran ES, LE, SE and SEL, climbing from cloth and basic equipment to leather, a head-up display, heated seats and a 360-degree camera on higher grades.
Vehicle selection
Eclipse Cross supply in the US is steady rather than huge, reflecting Mitsubishi's smaller American footprint, but that also means honestly priced cars.
The Eclipse Cross suits a buyer who wants a distinctive, well-equipped compact crossover with genuine all-wheel drive at a sensible entry point, and who has found a specific colour or a loaded SEL S-AWC example that is scarce locally.

Pre-purchase review
The Eclipse Cross has a solid reliability reputation typical of Mitsubishi, but a few points deserve attention on a used car.If expressly commissioned, feasible at the vehicle location and approved by the seller, USCar Trader can arrange a driving assessment to document observable shift quality, shudder, hesitation or driveline noise; service and repair records are reviewed separately.
Germany and Europe
The biggest difference is the engine range: US cars are exclusively the 1.5 turbo petrol, whereas European markets also offered a diesel and later a plug-in hybrid, so imports are petrol.
Typical work for German approval includes fitting or activating a rear fog lamp, adapting the headlights to the European beam pattern, and confirming the speedometer reads in km/h.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
