TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a compact crossover that aims to bring high-class looks to a mass-market buyer. It works, but not without some compromise.

The 2018 Toyota C-HR rides high, with astonishing looks that we like (you may differ); they're the selling point for a slow car that doesn't offer all-wheel drive despite a crossover label.

TCC Likes

Compelling value
Competent engine
Sharp steering

Unexpected shape that works
Interesting, functional interior
High-riding shape spacious inside

TCC Dislikes

Bulky infotainment setup
Lackluster interior
Confused exterior details

Polarizing looks
No AWD, meaning not a crossover
It's just slow, all the time
