The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a stylish and versatile compact SUV that offers a great combination of performance, comfort, and technology features. For the 2025 model year, the Eclipse Cross is available in several trim levels, including the SE and SEL. Here at Burdick Mitsubishi, we'll take a closer look at these two trims to help you understand their differences and decide which one best suits your needs.
Shared Features
Both trims are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 152 horsepower and is paired with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The Eclipse Cross also features Mitsubishi's advanced S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) system, which provides excellent traction and handling in various driving conditions.
Inside the cabin, both the SE and SEL offer a spacious and comfortable environment for up to five passengers. Standard features include automatic air conditioning, power windows, and a proximity key with push-button start. The infotainment system is also well-equipped, with an eight-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio system that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
Differences Between the SE and SEL Trims
While the SE and SEL share many features, there are some notable differences that set them apart. Those who opt for the SEL trim will enjoy additional luxuries and conveniences, such as leather seating surfaces, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support. The SEL also features a dual-zone automatic climate control system, which allows the driver and front passenger to set different temperature preferences for their respective zones.
The SEL has an upgraded infotainment system, which includes a larger eight-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation. This system also features a six-speaker audio system, providing a more immersive listening experience. Additionally, the SEL trim comes standard with a power panoramic sunroof, allowing passengers to enjoy fresh air and natural light during their journeys.
While both have plenty of safety features, the SEL takes safety to the next level with the inclusion of Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These features work together to provide an extra layer of protection and peace of mind while driving in Liverpool, NY, and beyond.
Choosing Between the SE and SEL Trims
Ultimately, the choice between the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SE and SEL will depend on your personal preferences, budget, and driving needs. The SE trim offers a well-rounded package with plenty of standard features at a more affordable price point. On the other hand, the SEL trim provides additional luxuries, technologies, and safety features for those who want the ultimate driving experience.
