LaFontaine Mitsubishi Ann Arbor – Super-All Wheel Control Confidence for Wayne, MI Drivers — Everyday Control in the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
When roads change by the minute, confidence is everything. Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) in the 2026 Eclipse Cross brings that confidence to Wayne, MI drivers with a smart, integrated approach to traction. Rather than a simple on-or-off all-wheel-drive system, S-AWC orchestrates torque distribution side to side and front to rear while coordinating with Active Stability Control (ASC) and the braking system. The result is a reassuring, predictable response in everyday scenarios—wet leaves on eastbound side streets, slushy morning commutes past industrial corridors, or slick intersections after a quick freeze. You point the wheel, the Eclipse Cross follows your intent, and the systems work quietly in the background to help you keep your line.
Real-world driving rarely matches textbook conditions, and that’s where S-AWC’s tuning shines. It aims to keep the vehicle composed at speed on I-94, but you can feel the benefits just as clearly at neighborhood pace. When traction is uneven, torque maps and wheel-speed monitoring help the system send power where grip exists, while subtle brake-based torque vectoring adds agility and stability. Add in supportive safety technology—Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and available Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)—and the total driving experience becomes calmer, even when the weather refuses to cooperate. The combination helps reduce driver fatigue: fewer mid-corner corrections, less second-guessing at slick merges, and a steady sense of control when the road surface is a patchwork of dry, damp, and icy.
The interior tech complements the traction story. Trims featuring the 8.0-inch touchscreen and Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services (24-month trial, enrollment required) wrap your day with thoughtful convenience—remote start on frosty mornings, vehicle status checks before a late-night errand, and seamless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for turn-by-turn directions. Available features like the Handsfree Power Tailgate and Multi-View Camera System add practical ease around busy driveways and shopping center parking lots. Families and commuters appreciate that the Eclipse Cross cabin remains quiet and composed, with supportive seating and useful storage space that doesn’t ask you to compromise between work bags, a hockey duffel, and a week’s groceries.
For many drivers, the choice of all-wheel traction is as much about predictability as it is about raw capability. S-AWC focuses on that predictability. It’s designed to inspire confidence at the margins—where low-traction patches appear without warning and quick reactions matter. If you’ve ever felt that half-second of uncertainty when making a left turn on a slick morning, you know what this is about. The Eclipse Cross anticipates wheel slip early and responds smoothly, helping you stay on course. Think of it as an extension of your own instincts—quietly supportive, rarely intrusive, and always ready when the road surprises you.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is S-AWC always active, or do I need to switch modes?
S-AWC continuously monitors conditions and acts automatically. Drive modes can adjust system behavior, but you don’t need to engage all-wheel capability manually.
Does S-AWC help on dry roads, too?
Yes. Even on dry pavement, subtle torque-vectoring and stability inputs can make turn-in feel more precise and help the vehicle track cleanly, especially through quick transitions.
Which trims include the Multi-View Camera System?
Upper trims like SEL and SEL Touring offer the Multi-View Camera System, giving you a clearer perspective for tight parking and tricky angles.
Is Mitsubishi Connect included?
Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services includes a 24-month trial on select trims (enrollment required), enabling remote start, status checks, and more.
Can I add winter wheels without affecting traction systems?
Absolutely. Properly sized winter wheels and tires enhance grip and work seamlessly with S-AWC and ASC.
