Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Generations Guide Malaysia
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross GK was introduced in 2017 as a compact crossover SUV, reviving the Eclipse nameplate. It is powered exclusively by the 4B40 1.5T MIVEC turbo engine paired with an 8-speed CVT. A facelift was introduced around 2021 with revised exterior styling and interior updates. In Malaysia, the Eclipse Cross is sold in FWD and S-AWC AWD variants. The GK generation represents a significant departure from the previous Eclipse sports coupe heritage, now positioned as a family-friendly urban crossover.
Eclipse Cross Generations in Malaysia
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was launched in Malaysia in 2018 as a first-generation model. It replaced the outgoing ASX in the compact crossover segment and introduced turbocharged power to Mitsubishi's Malaysia lineup. The first generation (2018–2023) used the 1.5L 4B40 turbo MIVEC with CVT and optional AWD (S-AWC). The 2022 facelift brought updated styling, PHEV variant availability in some markets (not Malaysia as of 2024), and revised interior. The Eclipse Cross is Mitsubishi's premier crossover offering in Malaysia, positioned above the Xpander MPV in the range.
