Reliability
5.0/5

2 known faults

1.5 MIVEC 163 boîte manuelle

  1. Unintended emergency braking (software recall)

    Manufacturer recall

    A software fault in the front camera can trigger emergency braking for no reason. Recall in France (notably the 2018-2020 Eclipse Cross and 2021 PHEV), fixed by reprogramming without any part being replaced (L'argus).

    Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

    Versions
    1.5 MIVEC 163 boîte manuelle, 1.5 MIVEC 163 CVT, 2.2 Di-D 148 4x4 automatique, PHEV 2.4 188 4x4

  2. CVT gearbox: jerking and delayed response

    Severity 1/3 · Annoying

    Sources report jerking and a delayed response from the CVT gearbox, sometimes between 30,000 and 60,000 km, especially with the 1.5 turbo (Autodoc). A buyer's guide advises checking for CVT shuddering during the test drive on the 2018 and 2019 model years (RerEV). The sources are of uneven quality.
