A Guide to 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross MPG Ratings

With this compact crossover's entry-level trim, you can earn up to an EPA-estimated 25/28/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined.² The upper-level LE, SE, and SEL trims are all a tiny bit more subdued, but they still deliver an impressive EPA-estimated 25/26/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).³ No matter which model you prefer, you'll have plenty of miles out on the road between each pit stop – with its 15.8-gallon tank, these figures translate to an actual combined driving range of 410 miles in the ES and 395 miles in other model variants.⁴

The gas mileage difference between the Eclipse Cross ES and other iterations doesn't have anything to do with a change of powertrain – each version of this vehicles comes with the same 1.5-liter four-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged engine, making 152 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. They also all contain an eight-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT) with Sport Mode and come equipped with standard Super All-Wheel Control, the automaker's uniquely designed take on all-wheel drive.

What causes this difference, then? Weight, mostly. The base-level ES trim of the new Eclipse Cross weighs 3,406 pounds, while the mid-tier SE and luxury-laden SEL weighs 3,483 pounds. While second-tier LE weighs slightly less than the top two models at 3,450 pounds, it still falls in the 25 MPG (Combined)³ camp.

Following this same principle, if you take advantage of this vehicle's 1,500-pound towing capacity⁵ to help your friend move or bring your ATV along for your weekend adventure, you might find that you need to fill up a bit more often.

How Can You Boost Your 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Fuel Efficiency?

While the Eclipse Cross SUV's fuel consumption beats out many similarly sized crossovers' MPG ratings, how often you actually wind up back at the gas pump depends on various factors. Here are some tips for maximizing your Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross MPG:

• Avoid Sudden Braking: Your car has more force behind it when it's moving quickly and, therefore, requires more energy to bring it to a fast halt than a slow one. Therefore, try to slow into your stops. This is easier to do if you leave at least three seconds of distance between you and the car up ahead.
• Know When To Use AC vs. Windows: Turning on your AC as a way to limit fuel consumption may seem counterintuitive. However, trying to catch a breeze from your open windows can create wind resistance at high speeds that can slow you down, requiring you to compensate by using more gas. As a general rule of thumb, leaving the windows down is the way to go if you're driving under 50 mph. On the open highway, though, use your air conditioning to combat the summer heat and save fuel.
• Check Your Tire Pressure: Underinflated tires sit flatter on the road. This generates more friction and stops your car from moving as smoothly. As a result, you'll waste more gas and likely need premature tire replacements. Check your owner's manual to determine the recommended air pressure your tires should contain – the answer is usually between 32 and 35 psi.
• Get Regular Car Maintenance: Biannual oil changes might not always fit easily into your schedule, but they are so crucial. They protect the engine from overheating and help your SUV run efficiently, letting you achieve maximum Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross fuel economy.
