2026 Honda CR-V vs Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross near Bowie, MD
2026 Honda CR-V EX in Urban Gray Pearl (left) and 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (right) shown above with available features.
The 2026 Honda CR-V pursues your travels around Bowie with a renewed sense of confidence, something the competition does not share. To prove this, our dealership team at Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights would like to show you how the compact SUV performs against the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross!
Performance
If you seek inspired performance, you’re better off taking to the helm of the Honda CR-V. That’s because it uses a standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that guides the way with 190 horsepower1 and 179 lb.-ft. of torque2. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross makes use of the same standard powertrain, but it is only able to generate 152 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. The Honda model will not cost you as much to keep fueled, since it has a 28/33/30 MPG city/hwy/combined3 EPA-estimated rating. Meanwhile, the Mitsubishi SUV lags behind due to its 25/28/26 MPG city/hwy/combined4 fuel economy rating. The CR-V also gives you the option between a standard FWD system or an available AWD layout. On the Eclipse Cross, you have no other choice than to partake in the standard S-AWC configuration.
Interior
Those who want relaxation will be more comfortable in the 2026 Honda CR-V. That’s because the optional 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat dwarfs the abilities of the Eclipse Cross’s available 8-way variant. However, you will find some notable similarities between these vehicles. This includes the use of optional heated front-row seats to keep you warm in the face of a particularly cold winter. You can pair this with the available dual-zone automatic climate control system for added customizability for you and your copilot on both SUVs. But if you would like to access infotainment, it will be more convenient to do so on the CR-V’s standard 9-inch touchscreen display. The Eclipse Cross fails to match this feature, as it wields a standard 8-inch variant.
Exterior
When it comes to utility, the Honda SUV succeeds on your Ben Brenman Park visits. Keeping your view clear on the Honda CR-V is simple, as the standard heated wiper zone will melt away ice and condensation at a moment’s notice. This is not shared on the Eclipse Cross, as it is completely devoid of this feature. On the Honda CR-V, the standard LED headlights activate on their own. You’ll have to spring for a higher trim of the Mitsubishi model to receive this feature. The same can be said for the power-folding side mirrors, making it easier to park on the side of the street in the Honda CR-V. Now that you’ve seen the splendor of this vehicle, visit our nearby dealership today!
