Frequently asked questions
Which Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross engine is the most reliable?
1.5 Turbo (4B40) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The 1.5 Turbo (4B40, Mitsubishi's direct-injection turbo four) is the volume Eclipse Cross petrol and a willing, reasonably economical unit with available S-AWC all-wheel drive. It's chain-driven with the modern-turbo cautions: direct-injection intake-valve carbon over time, turbo/PCV care, and — most notably — it's paired with a CVT (Mitsubishi's familiar continuously-variable auto) which must be serviced with the correct fluid and treated gently; the CVT is the part to scrutinise more than the engine. A serviced car on clean oil with a healthy CVT is dependable. Buy on oil and CVT history.
