- no option data for this car
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.

Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Genesis GV70 uses a Petrol producing 224kW and 422Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.2 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 Genesis GV70 has the clear power advantage at 224kW vs 94kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Genesis GV70 is 2.5s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Genesis GV70 measures 4,715mm long on a 2,875mm wheelbase, 170mm longer than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV at 4,545mm (2,670mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Genesis GV70 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 542L in the Genesis GV70 and 359L in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, giving the Genesis GV70 a 183L advantage.
For towing, the Genesis GV70 leads with a 2,200kg braked capacity vs 1,500kg. That 700kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV's turning circle is 0.7 m tighter, 10.8 m against 11.5 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Genesis GV70 costs about $2,936 a year (10.3 L/100km) and fuel for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV about $1,710 a year (6 L/100km as a hybrid), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $1,226 a year less for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV. A plug-in hybrid is costed running as a hybrid (battery depleted); charged daily, it uses less fuel and some electricity.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Genesis GV70) and 10 years / 200k km (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Genesis GV70), 10 years (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV).
Where each one leads
The Genesis GV70: more power (224kW against 94kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (542L against 359L) and the higher braked towing limit (2,200kg against 1,500kg).
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV: the lower starting price ($47,790 against $80,300), the longer warranty (10 years against 5) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,710 a year against $2,936).
