Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 27 Eclipse Cross vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 10 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

New registrations in Europe
97,200 new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cars registered in the EU, Norway and Iceland between 2017 and 2022, from the European Environment Agency's CO₂ monitoring of every new car. In 2022 the largest markets were Germany (18,832), France (1,587), Spain (1,441).

Real-world fuel consumption
757 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2022 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Plug-in hybrids use 6.2 l/100 km against 2.0 l/100 km on paper, with 22% of their distance covered with the engine off.
| Fuel | Cars | On the road | WLTP | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid | 757 | 6.2 | 2.0 | +208% |
Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.
