- 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 Mazda CX-60 uses a Petrol producing 138kW and 250Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.4 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 Mazda CX-60 has the clear power advantage at 138kW vs 94kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Mazda CX-60 is 2.3s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Mazda CX-60 measures 4,740mm long on a 2,870mm wheelbase, 195mm longer than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV at 4,545mm (2,670mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mazda CX-60 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 570L in the Mazda CX-60 and 359L in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, giving the Mazda CX-60 a 211L advantage.
For towing, the Mazda CX-60 leads with a 1,800kg braked capacity vs 1,500kg. That 300kg 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); both turn in a 10.8 m circle, 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 Mazda CX-60 costs about $2,138 a year (7.5 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 $428 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 (Mazda CX-60) and 10 years / 200k km (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV). Capped-price servicing: no data (Mazda CX-60), 10 years (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV).
Where each one leads
The Mazda CX-60: the lower starting price ($45,640 against $47,790), more power (138kW against 94kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (570L against 359L) and the higher braked towing limit (1,800kg against 1,500kg).
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV: the longer warranty (10 years against 5) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,710 a year against $2,138).
The Verdict
Mazda CX-60 scores higher, 75 vs 71
The Mazda CX-60 scores 75 to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV's 71 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 5 of the 7 spec rows that separate them, at the lower price. The biggest gaps: safety (Mazda CX-60 ahead by 25 points), performance (Mazda CX-60 ahead by 18 points), fuel economy (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV ahead by 14 points). At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV costs about $428 less (6 L/100km as a hybrid against 7.5 L/100km, at $1.90 a litre). Boot space with the seats up: 570L in the Mazda CX-60, 359L in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV. Warranty: 5 years on the Mazda CX-60, 10 on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV.

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.
