2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse Overview

Introduction

The Mitsubishi Eclipse is truly new. It's roomier and should appeal to a wider audience, but it still delivers sporty transport and good looks.

The Eclipse continues with a single body style: a two-door, four-passenger coupe. Two engines are offered: a 162-horsepower four-cylinder and a 263-horsepower V6. Transmission choices on the four cylinder are a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic called a Sportronic. The V6 comes with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Sportronic automatic. Safety features that come standard include frontal airbags, front-seat mounted side-impact airbags and front-seat side air curtains. Anti-lock brakes are standard with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, which balances front-rear brake application in emergency stops.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse is all new for 2006.
