Definitely not the PHEV Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (and probably by extension, not the PHEV Outlander also)
Oh boy, where do I even start?
Mitsubishi's take on hybrid tech is a joke. Claims of 1.9 L/100km? Good luck with that. With the way it burns fuel, you're better off with a decent ICE car and not lugging around that useless battery weight. The EV range is laughable, and you can't even set it to use EV mode exclusively. Turn on cruise control or crank up the heater and it's back to burning dinosaur juice.
And oh, the incessant chimes, bings, bongs and beeps in the cabin – it’s a (profanity) cacophony.
Now, the adaptive cruise control… just try to speed up without disengaging it in light traffic and it'll slam the brakes like there's a wall ahead. And if you’re following someone on a country road who takes a right hand turn lane, it still brakes hard even though there’s no one in front of you anymore.
Honestly, with all its quirks and a hybrid system that seems to have a love affair with petrol, the Eclipse Cross is more of a letdown than a contender for any 'Car of the Year' title.
