Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV Awarded RJC Car Of The Year 2019

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today announced that the Eclipse Cross SUV has been selected as the 'RJC Car of the Year 2019' run by the Automotive Researchers' & Journalists' Conference of Japan (RJC) after final judging on November 13.

In selecting the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, the RJC selection committee commented: 'Not only is the Eclipse Cross a stylish fusion of a sharp coupe and a compact SUV, but it has an off-road ability and well-balanced dynamics, due to Mitsubishi Motors unique Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) four wheel drive system. Brisk driving performance is supplied by a combination of the newly developed 1.5-litre direct-injection turbo-charged petrol engine and CVT gearbox with an 8-speed manual override.'

This is the first time an MMC model has been awarded the RJC Car of the Year since the Mitsubishi i took the award back in 2007.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announced that 'it is a delight for us to win the RJC Car of the Year 2019. Mitsubishi Motors is committed to putting the customer first, which is inspired by our corporate philosophy - Create a vibrant society by realizing the potential of mobility.'
