This is the Peugeot 3008 Vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comparison for 2018. The first comparison of Mitsubishi’s first new model in many years is the new Eclipse Cross and the 3008 has so far proven a great entry into the smallish (approaching medium sized) SUV class. Mitsubishi is in a bit of bind they can’t afford to develop new models fox example the Pajero is ancient and won’t be replaced, the Pajero Sport is a very good proper 4WD but it’s looks have hurt its chances with older buyers, the Lancer is also ancient and will never be replaced, the Mirage is only known for being the cheapest new car to buy, likewise the ASX. So the Eclipse is a model they really need to continue to exist as a car manufacturer and brand. On the other hand Peugeot has a branding and a recent enough reliability and cost run problem so the 3008 needs to be a model that changes that image and back to the historical DAKAR winning reliable but French brand.
Peugeot 3008 Vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross exterior comparison: The 3008 is a good look SUV although at first sight it is quite different. This is probably because the front end styling does not match the rear end which is normally a styling mistake, but on the 3008 it works! Although the lines are different to most of the current SUVs it ends up being best described as nicely styled. The Eclipse Cross is essentially wedge shape that follows the trend started with the Pajero Sport which we think is a futuristic looking SUV designed to create an emotive response but unfortunately negative. Back to the Eclipse Cross and we think is a good look SUV and better in real life than pictures. The genuine wedge shape is a different design theme from any other manufacturer.
Peugeot 3008 Vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross interior comparison: The 3008’s interior deign and quality is hard to beat in this price range. It easily wins over the conventional but modern Eclipse Cross due to the quality of materials and design. In terms of size both are virtually identical but the longer wheelbase on the Eclipse Cross makes it a larger and comfortable interior to be in. That said there are more interior storage space holes than the 3008 is that is a concern for you.
Peugeot 3008 Vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross engine and technology comparison: The 3008 has a modern turbo petrol and diesel options which is nice to know whereas the Eclipse only has the one turbo petrol for the time being. Safety tech on both are pretty much equal but on for top range models which is disappointing but at least both have auto emergency brakes across the range. The fully digital display in the 3008 are not only good to look at but adds to the premium feel. It also beats a limited heads display in the Eclipse.
Peugeot 3008 Vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross drive report : N/A
The conclusion and winner of the Peugeot 3008 Vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comparison is a draw. Hard to choose because the Eclipse Cross is significantly cheaper than the 3008 across the model grades. Top range Eclipse Cross is virtually the same price as a base grade 3008.
