LaFontaine Mitsubishi Ann Arbor – Confident All-Weather Traction and Tech with the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross for Canton, MI Drivers
When daily life in Michigan serves up rain, sleet, slush, and bright summer afternoons—all in the same week—confidence behind the wheel matters. That’s where the 2026 Eclipse Cross shines, anchored by Mitsubishi’s standard Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC). This integrated system continually optimizes front-to-rear torque distribution and can brake individual wheels to help the vehicle follow your intended line. Paired with Normal, Snow, and Gravel modes, S-AWC turns mixed conditions into routine driving, so family errands, school drop-offs, and commutes feel steady and calm. Add intuitive cabin tech to the equation—like an available 8.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility on select trims, and Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required)—and you get a small SUV built to simplify the everyday.
To help drivers in and around Canton plan with confidence, we’ve broken down how S-AWC works on familiar roads and what features add the most value for year-round driving. Whether you’re visiting relatives, hauling sports gear, or navigating a soaked freeway, the Eclipse Cross blends traction, visibility, and driver assistance to make every mile feel more assured.
- All-weather traction, simplified: S-AWC watches wheel slip and steering inputs, then sends torque and targeted braking to help you stay on course.
- Drive mode clarity: Use Normal for dry pavement, Snow when temperatures drop or roads feel slick, and Gravel for loose surfaces or rutted paths.
- Assistive safety tech: Standard Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Warning help support driver awareness in busy traffic.
- Visibility that counts: LED Headlights, LED Daytime Running Lights, and LED Tail Lights provide crisp illumination and a confident light signature.
Inside, clever design supports daily routines. The cargo area handles grocery runs and strollers with ease, while 60/40-split rear seatbacks open up extra space for weekend projects. Available comforts—like an 8-Way Power Adjustable Driver Seat, Heated Steering Wheel, and Leather Appointed Seating Surfaces—turn long days into pleasant drives. Convenience features such as an available Handsfree Power Tailgate and Power Folding Side Mirrors keep life moving when your hands are full or the parking spot is tight. For parents, Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert on upper trims offer added reassurance during lane changes and bustling parking lots, while an available Multi-View Camera System helps make tight maneuvers feel effortless.
Wondering which trim fits best? Focus on the features you’ll use every day. If you prioritize winter readiness and easy loading, look for a configuration with the Handsfree Power Tailgate and heated features. If visibility and awareness are top priorities, the available Multi-View Camera System and advanced blind spot alerts provide extra peace of mind around town and on I-275. Across the lineup, S-AWC remains the signature advantage—its smooth, transparent operation builds confidence on dry roads and quietly steps up when surfaces get slick. That consistent support is why so many families pivot to the Eclipse Cross after one test drive.
