How the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Stacks Up Against the 2019 CX-5 From Mazda

Mitsubishi is known throughout Tennessee, and beyond, for delivering the high-quality vehicles, drivers crave. Mitsubishi owners also appreciate the performance, value, and style they offer. At Wallace Mitsubishi of Kingsport, we're proud to be where drivers near Bristol and Greeneville come to find Mitsubishi cars and crossovers for sale. Notably, the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

The Eclipse Cross is relatively new on the scene and has quickly made a name for itself. If you want to drive something that stands out in a sea of crossover SUVs, this new Mitsubishi delivers. Aside from its unique style, you might be wondering how it compares to other vehicles in the segment. Let's take a look at how the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross compares to the 2019 CX-5 From Mazda.

Power and Efficiency

• The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and the Mazda CX-5 are comparable in size and offer similar measurements both inside and out. While this is true, one area where the size of the Eclipse Cross excels is in the gas tank. When you fill up your new Mitsubishi, you can go farther thanks to the 16-gallon tank. Mazda drivers will be stopping for gas more often due to its undersized 14.8-gallon fuel tank. When you're driving from Bristol and Greeneville, the Eclipse Cross will take you an EPA-estimated 432 miles in the city and 481 miles on the highway. Mazda drivers can only cover 370 miles around town and 459 miles on the highway on a single tank.
• Have something tow along for your weekend adventures? If you like to haul a camper or small boat on family trips, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will get you there. The optional tow package can be added to any trim model. Mazda does not supply a trailer hitch for their CX-5. Mazda owners will need to purchase non-OEM equipment and hope it fits their new ride.
• While both new crossovers boast an automatic transmission, only the Mitsubishi comes with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Mazda owners will have to make do with a standard six-speed automatic. For Kingsport drivers, this equates to a smooth, fuel-efficient ride, without the jerking gear changes that might happen in a competitor's vehicle.
