How S-AWC Elevates Daily Driving in the 2026 Eclipse Cross for Bolingbrook, IL Shoppers
D'Arcy Mitsubishi - How S-AWC Elevates Daily Driving in the 2026 Eclipse Cross for Bolingbrook, IL Shoppers
When you live around Bolingbrook, IL, traction and predictability matter just as much as comfort and style. That is why the 2026 Eclipse Cross stands out—its standard Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) gives you poised, confident handling on rain-soaked commutes, slushy shoulders, and gravel turn-ins to the park. S-AWC coordinates traction and braking to help maximize grip and stability, and drive modes like Normal, Snow, and Gravel tailor responses for conditions you can count on seeing across the seasons. Paired with advanced driver assistance features, the Eclipse Cross is engineered to smooth life’s daily transitions, from school drop-offs to late-night grocery runs. At D'Arcy Mitsubishi, serving Bolingbrook, Romeoville, and New Lenox, we meet shoppers who want capability that simply works—without adding extra steps to their routine.
S-AWC starts with smart software and hardware working together. Sensors monitor wheel speed, yaw, and driver inputs; the system then helps route torque and apply braking to support stable, predictable motion. In practical terms, that means you feel more in control when turning onto a wet boulevard, pulling away from a stop sign dusted with salt, or steering through a quick lane change on the interstate. Because S-AWC is standard, you do not have to climb trims to get confidence. And since the system operates seamlessly in the background, you just steer, accelerate, and brake as you normally would, while the Eclipse Cross works to keep things composed.
Safety technology complements the traction story. Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection helps watch the road ahead. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) can alert you if you drift out of your lane. Available Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) support awareness in crowded parking lots and during fast-moving commutes. The available Multi-View Camera System gives a helpful overhead perspective in tight spaces, and bright available LED Headlights add clarity on dim side streets. All of it ties together with available Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required), so you can access helpful remote features and assistance with your compatible device.
Think of the Eclipse Cross as an everyday optimizer. It does not ask you to change how you drive. Instead, it helps your daily rhythm feel smoother, more consistent, and more confident when roads refuse to cooperate. For many shoppers, that peace of mind is exactly what makes a compact SUV feel like the right choice.
