2026 Eclipse Cross Trim Comparison
Which 2026 Eclipse Cross Trim Matches Your Life - Experience All At Bow Mitsubishi!
The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is designed for real life driving in Calgary, where roads can change quickly and the weather is not always predictable. That is why confidence matters so much behind the wheel. For 2026, the Eclipse Cross feels more settled than before, with a ride that comes across smoother than the 2025 model and a cabin that feels calmer and quieter. Every trim also shares the same S-AWC all wheel drive system, which means grip and balance feel consistent across the lineup. Because of that, choosing the right trim becomes more about comfort and style than capability.
ES S-AWC Feels Like the Right Starting Point
The ES S-AWC is where the Eclipse Cross story begins, and it already feels well prepared for daily life. A 1.5-litre turbocharged engine is used, producing 152 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, which feels steady and relaxed during city driving and highway merging. Fuel use stays reasonable at about 9.6 L/100 km in the city and around 8.9 L/100 km on the highway, helping keep running costs in check. Towing capacity is rated up to 907 kilograms, which suits small trailers or weekend gear. Inside, seating is provided for five people, with durable cloth seats that feel easy to live with every day. Cargo space opens up to about 1,419 litres when the rear seats are folded, making room for groceries or outdoor plans. A touch screen display of 8.0-inch with wireless phone connectivity and heated front seats is included along with 7 airbags and 4 speakers. This trim makes the most sense for drivers who want confidence on winter roads without paying for extras they may not need.
SE S-AWC Adds Comfort and Tech Over ES
The SE S-AWC builds on the base ES by keeping the same engine with Super All-Wheel Control, so performance, torque, and fuel economy stay the same as the ES trim. What changes are the creature comforts and convenience technologies. The SE adds Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which help with busy Calgary streets. LED fog lights and Auto LED high beams improve visibility. A heated steering wheel and FAST-Key keyless entry with push button start make cold mornings easier, and the hands-free power liftgate helps when carrying bags. Dual zone climate control adds comfort for everyone inside. The same 8-inch Smartphone Link Display carries forward, but the SE trim feels more complete for drivers who want everyday comfort and advanced support compared to the ES S-AWC.
NOIR S-AWC Adds Style and Extra Features
The NOIR S-AWC keeps the same turbo engine and AWD system as SE, so highway and city fuel use stays the same. Seating for five and maximum cargo remains unchanged. Where it pulls ahead is in style and elevated features. It adds 18-inch black-painted wheels, a black hood emblem, and “NOIR” badging that give the exterior a bold look. Inside, the seats are trimmed in microsuede and synthetic leather and the driver’s seat gains 6-way power adjustment. Comfort for rear passengers improves with heated second-row seats. Technology upgrades include Adaptive Cruise Control, a Multi View Camera System, auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink, and a Head-Up Display, bringing more advanced driver assistance than the SE S-AWC. Compared to the SE, the NOIR trim feels more stylish and more comfortable for longer drives or busy winter traffic.
GT S-AWC Brings Premium Features and Style
The GT S-AWC sits at the top of the lineup and keeps the same engine and AWD system, so driving feel, power output, and fuel use stay the same as SE and NOIR. Cargo capacity and seating for five are unchanged. What sets it apart are the premium comfort and style features that make every drive feel more refined. Leather-appointed seats are now standard, and the front seats are power-adjustable for both driver and passenger. The GT adds a power panoramic sunroof with dual sunshades, which brings more light and openness inside the cabin. A Mitsubishi Power Sound System with 8 speakers steps up the audio experience. Like the NOIR, it includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Multi View Camera System, and heated rear seats. Compared to NOIR, the GT feels more upscale and refined, making it ideal for drivers who want higher comfort and premium touches without stepping up to a much larger SUV.
