The 2022-2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross received a 'Poor' rating in the updated IIHS Moderate Overlap and Side Impact tests, despite earning 'Good' ratings under the older, less stringent protocols. This indicates a higher risk of injury in specific moderate overlap and side-impact collision scenarios compared to competitors. The concern is primarily a crashworthiness and structural safety issue rather than a mechanical defect, affecting the North American market first-generation models. Crash-test ratings do not typically involve a repair cost, so the price is not applicable.
