- with the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV's standard kit: $171,100 (nothing to add)
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 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV uses a 2.4L D4 MPI VVT (IN) producing 94kW and 199Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 9.7 seconds.
The Porsche Macan responds with a Electric making 420kW and 955Nm, paired to a single-speed automatic driving all four wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds.
The Porsche Macan has the clear power advantage at 420kW vs 94kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Porsche Macan is 5.9s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV measures 4,545mm long on a 2,670mm wheelbase, 260mm shorter than the Porsche Macan at 4,805mm (2,893mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Porsche Macan generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 359L in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV and 476L in the Porsche Macan, giving the Porsche Macan a 117L advantage.
For towing, the Porsche Macan leads with a 2,500kg braked capacity vs 1,500kg. That 1,000kg 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 1.3 m tighter, 10.8 m against 12.1 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 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV costs about $1,710 a year (6 L/100km as a hybrid) and electricity for the Porsche Macan about $1,018 a year (21.2 kWh/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. A plug-in hybrid is costed running as a hybrid (battery depleted); charged daily, it uses less fuel and some electricity.
Warranty: 10 years / 200k km (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV) and 3 years / Unlimited (Porsche Macan). Capped-price servicing: 10 years (Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV), no data (Porsche Macan).
Where each one leads
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV: the lower starting price ($47,790 against $171,100) and the longer warranty (10 years against 3).
The Porsche Macan: more power (420kW against 94kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (476L against 359L) and the higher braked towing limit (2,500kg against 1,500kg).
The Verdict
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV scores higher, 71 vs 61

Boot space with the seats up: 359L in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, 476L in the Porsche Macan. Warranty: 10 years on the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, 3 on the Porsche Macan.

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.
