2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Eclipse Cross.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (AV-S8)

The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is an SUV fitted with Mitsubishi's Automatic (AV-S8) transmission and a routine maintenance spec calling for 4.5 quarts of 0W-20 engine oil, returning EPA fuel-economy ratings of 25/28/26 mpg city/highway/combined. In the model's 2018-2025 complaint history, the 2019 edition falls between the 2018 peak of 19 complaints and the 2025 low of 4, logging 13 owner complaints and one recall. Powertrain issues account for the top complaint area, so researchers should treat this model year as neither the most trouble-prone nor the cleanest entry in the Eclipse Cross reliability record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 120,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 120,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross recorded 13 complaints and one recall, which is lower than the 2018 model’s 19 complaints and two recalls but higher than the 20202025 models that each have five or fewer complaints and no recalls. Across the generation, complaints show a clear downward trend from 19 in 2018 to a low of four in 2025, while recalls fell from two in 2018 to one in 2019 and zero thereafter. Technical service bulletins also decline steadily, from 124 in 2018 to 12 in 2025, indicating fewer issued fixes over time. The 2019 year sits midway in this improving arc, reflecting early‑generation issues that have been progressively mitigated. Consequently, the 2019 Eclipse Cross offers better reliability than its predecessor but does not match the lower complaint levels of the 2020‑2025 models, making it a moderate choice for a used purchase.
