2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs 2020 Nissan Qashqai at Charlottetown Mitsubishi
The Canadian automotive industry has witnessed an evolution that was unexpected by many. The two major factors contributing to the rise in new vehicle sales can be attributed to the need to have the newest technology and design. The second factor can be tied back to their need for a different vehicle segment, which in the past did not offer much choice. This segment's versatility and capability have drawn in automotive consumers from Summerside, Montague, Kensington, Souris, and surrounding areas of Prince Edward Island. Passenger vehicles once ruled the automotive landscape, but in recent years have taken a backseat to the rise of crossovers and SUVs. Passenger vehicles once accounted for over 50% of market share and, by the end of 2018, took up less than 30%. So if the need for passenger vehicles is on the decline, where are automotive consumers going? Five of Canada's most popular vehicle segments fall within the crossover/SUV side.
The industry has seen a 38% increase in the crossover and SUV segments' popularity. Automotive manufacturers have spent billions of dollars designing and engineering vehicles that will fulfill the needs and wants of automotive consumers everywhere. Two manufacturers that really stand out are Mitsubishi and Nissan; both have focused on these popular segments and released vehicles that are ready to compete. The 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and 2020 Nissan Qashqai are two of the best options available. So it only makes sense to pit them head to head and see who comes out on top.

Safety and Comfort

With standard and available driver assistance features, the Eclipse and Qashqai are sure to keep you and your occupants safe. It's important to note that since the majority of vehicles in this segment offer relatively the same safety features, it's safe they are tied. However, the Eclipse Cross does come out on top with the standard AWC AWD system.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Eclipse Cross propels to the front of the segment with its unique and efficient engine and transmission.
