Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2018-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL 4-door 4wd
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was introduced in the 2018 model year and is derived from the Mitsubishi Outlander. There was no 2021 model year produced. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Mitsubishi.

The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but slid off toward the right side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. The side curtain airbag deployed and has sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed. | |

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy's head came close to contacting the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a likely risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt remained in the ideal position on the pelvis.
