Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross than the Volkswagen ID.4. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen ID.4, when considering MSRP.

Handling
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
