LaFontaine Mitsubishi Lansing – Is S-AWC Standard on the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in Lansing, MI?
Shoppers who drive through Lansing’s four seasons often want one simple answer about the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross — is all-wheel confidence built in, or do you need to add it? At LaFontaine Mitsubishi Lansing, we are pleased to share that every 2026 Eclipse Cross includes Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) as standard equipment. That means the capability many Lansing, DeWitt, East Lansing, and Holt drivers look for is already on board, no extra packages required.
S-AWC is Mitsubishi’s integrated traction and stability technology designed to help you stay confidently in control when roads are dry, wet, snowy, or slushy. Rather than operating like a basic on-off all-wheel system, S-AWC works with key vehicle systems to help manage traction and stability, including Active Stability Control (ASC). The result is reassuring grip pulling away from a light on icy mornings, composed handling as you merge onto I-96 in a downpour, and smooth tracking through the curves along Cedar Street when conditions change without warning.
To make your research easier, here is how S-AWC translates into everyday confidence around Greater Lansing:
- All-weather traction that is standard across the lineup for consistent control from your first test drive onward
- Seamless response that helps the vehicle feel settled and predictable on broken pavement, wet leaves, and snow dustings
- Balanced handling that supports confident lane changes on US-127 and smooth starts on hilly neighborhood streets
- Integrated smarts that work with stability and braking systems to help the Eclipse Cross track true
- Peace of mind that comes from capability being built in, not bolted on later
Every trim — ES, SE, SE Pano, BLACK EDITION, SEL, and SEL TOURING — includes Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC). That standard confidence pairs with features that elevate daily life, such as Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Warning (BSW) with Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and the available Multi-View Camera System. Inside, thoughtful conveniences like the FAST-Key Entry System, Push Button Start, a Handsfree Power Tailgate, and Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) make errands around Lansing feel easy and connected.
Because capability and comfort go hand in hand, our team encourages you to experience how S-AWC feels on the roads you use most. A short drive from our showroom can highlight how naturally the Eclipse Cross handles quick weather shifts and varied surfaces common in Mid-Michigan.

Beyond traction, ownership confidence matters. Mitsubishi vehicles come with standard 2-Year/30,000-Mile Limited Maintenance, an Industry-Leading 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, and 5 years of 24-Hour Roadside Assistance. That coverage complements the Eclipse Cross approach — capability and peace of mind are part of the package.
Whether you are navigating the morning commute down Pennsylvania Avenue, weekend runs to the Lansing River Trail, or a winter trip to see family in Okemos, the 2026 Eclipse Cross puts standard S-AWC to work without asking you to upgrade.
