Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs Nissan Kicks Comparison

While the Eclipse Cross is not exactly a full SUV but a crossover, I think if you give a serious look to the car, it does appear quite like an SUV. Mitsubishi has given it very smart design angles that resemble a mid size SUV, at least that is what I remember about the car when I first noticed it. Overall, a very well packaged car with a 150hp engine, at peak torque of 200 Nm for a 5 seater car is quite enough. Also, the cabin is not something to complain about with comfortable seating.

I hve Nissan Kicks for a while, and it’s one of the most underrated crossovers here. It looks compact from the outside but inside, the space surprised me. Rear legroom is very good, and boot space easily takes weekly groceries or small luggage. The ride quality is smooth, and the suspension handles speed bumps nicely. The 1.6L engine is simple but reliable, and fuel efficiency is a strong point, I barely feel it in my fuel budget. Tech like Apple CarPlay works well, and the 360-degree camera makes parking stress-free. It’s not flashy like bigger SUVs, but it gives confidence and comfort for daily UAE traffic. For those who want something light, simple and affordable, it’s perfect.
