On the whole, the Eclipse Cross is somehow simplified when compared to the XR-PHEV concepts – its preview model, but many styling features have still been applied. At the front end is the brand’s iconic Dynamic Shield grille framed by large headlights and fog lamps clusters.

Besides, the sports SUV gets a macho and dynamic look thanks to steeply-rising beltline, wedge-shaped profile, short rear overhang and fast rear windscreen rake. Along the side is adorned with sharper character lines and beefy fender flares while the rear is refreshed by new LED tail lights, which remind us about the Honda CR-Z.

Moving inside, a cliff-like center console surrounded by silver metal trim seems to be what of the Lexus NX. Not only that, the Touchpad Controller probably inherits from the Lexus’s Remote Touchpad. Apart from these, the high-tech cabin fully comes with a head-up display as well as Smartphone Link Display Audio System compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Further, the rear seats are also foldable to make room for an ample cargo space.
