Printed option prices only. A pack is counted once and makes the figure a floor when it carries no printed price. Nothing is inferred from the other car.
A plug-in hybrid is compared on its fuel use as a hybrid (battery depleted), the figure that is like for like with the other car; its certified combined figure, which assumes every trip starts with a full battery, is printed under it. Electric range is how far it goes before the petrol engine is needed.

Charging and range
The rated figures side by side: electric range and fuel use with the battery depleted for a plug-in hybrid or range extender, the km each battery-electric car adds overnight on its own onboard charger, and the DC time in the window each document prints.

- A plug-in hybrid or range extender without a charge-sustaining fuel figure is not costed or ranked on fuel.
- Km added in 10 hours: the charger rate, capped by the car's own onboard charger, over its own rated energy use. A car without an onboard charger or energy figure is No data, never an assumed rate.
- DC times are printed only in the window the document gives (0-80% or 10-80%). Different windows are not one measure, so nobody leads across them.

Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Geely EX2 uses a Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor producing 60kW and 150Nm of torque, sent through its transmission to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 14.2 seconds.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV responds with a 2.4L D4 MPI VVT (IN) making 94kW and 199Nm, paired to a automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 9.7 seconds.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV has the clear power advantage at 94kW vs 60kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV is 4.5s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Geely EX2 measures 4,135mm long on a 2,645mm wheelbase, 410mm shorter than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV at 4,545mm (2,670mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 375L in the Geely EX2 and 359L in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, giving the Geely EX2 a 16L advantage.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Geely EX2's turning circle is 0.9 m tighter, 9.9 m against 10.8 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

Cost to own
We do not hold a like-for-like fuel or energy figure for both cars, so we do not cost them against each other.
The weekly and 5-year figures in the price section above add repayments, rego, servicing and tyres to this; use our Fuel Cost Calculator for your own driving.
Warranty: 7 years / unlimited km (Geely EX2) and 10 years / 200,000 km (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV). Capped-price servicing: no data (Geely EX2), 10 years (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV).
- No break-even: the Geely EX2 costs less to buy and less in energy.
Energy only. Excludes servicing, rego, insurance, finance interest and resale. Prices are compared only on one basis.
Where each one leads
The Geely EX2: the lower starting price ($26,490 against $47,790), the bigger boot with the seats up (375L against 359L) and the longer warranty not tied to dealer servicing (7 years against 5).
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV: more power (94kW against 60kW).
The Verdict
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV scores higher, 71 vs 68

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
