Warranty

The Eclipse Cross comes with a full 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Rogue’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 2 years or 24,000 miles sooner.

Mitsubishi’s powertrain warranty covers the Eclipse Cross 5 years and 40,000 miles longer than Nissan covers the Rogue. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. Coverage on the Rogue ends after only 5 years or 60,000 miles.

The Eclipse Cross’ corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Rogue’s (7 vs. 5 years).

Mitsubishi pays for scheduled maintenance on the Eclipse Cross for 2 years and 30,000 miles. Mitsubishi will pay for oil changes, tire rotations, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance (up to 3 visits). Nissan doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Rogue.

Fuel Economy and Range

The Eclipse Cross has 1.3 gallons more fuel capacity than the Rogue (15.8 vs. 14.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The Eclipse Cross has a standard locking fuel door. The fuel filler door is not lockable on the Rogue. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank.

Suspension and Handling

For better maneuverability, the Eclipse Cross AWD’s turning circle is .6 feet tighter than the Rogue’s (34.8 feet vs. 35.4 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Eclipse Cross has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Rogue (8.5 vs. 8.2 inches), allowing the Eclipse Cross to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

Chassis

The Eclipse Cross is 4 inches shorter than the Rogue, making the Eclipse Cross easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

Ergonomics

The Eclipse Cross SEL’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Rogue’s passenger windows don’t open or close automatically.

The Eclipse Cross’ standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Nissan only offers heated mirrors on the Rogue SV/Rock Creek/Platinum.

Both the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and Nissan Rogue offer exterior mirrors that can be folded to provide convenience. The Eclipse Cross offers available power folding mirrors, which allow for easy, one-touch folding or unfolding at the driver’s discretion. This provides added convenience when maneuvering or parking, as well as when walking past the parked vehicle. In comparison, the Rogue’s foldable mirrors are manual, requiring the driver to get out and physically fold them once parked and unfold them before getting in.
