LaFontaine Mitsubishi Lansing – Why the 2026 Eclipse Cross SEL Touring Suits Commuters and Weekend Explorers around DeWitt, MI

If your daily rhythm swings from weekday commuting to weekend getaways, the 2026 Eclipse Cross SEL TOURING S-AWC puts comfort, awareness, and traction at the heart of every drive. It builds on the SEL’s premium feel with the same poised Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) confidence, a cabin arranged to reduce distraction, and technology that supports you from parking garage to open highway. The model’s signature balance of a smooth, well-damped ride and composed handling turns long stretches of pavement into an easygoing experience, while the cabin’s thoughtful details make family schedules and solo errands equally stress free.

Comfort is more than cushioning here. Leather Appointed Seating Surfaces bring an upscale texture that holds up to daily use, while the Heated Steering Wheel wraps cold mornings in instant warmth. The Multi-View Camera System stands out in tight spaces, letting you see around the vehicle as you navigate curbs or tight parallel spots. With the Handsfree Power Tailgate, loading groceries, sports bags, or luggage becomes a one-step, no-fumble motion. Add Paddle Shifters for a responsive feel on ramps and hilly byways, and the SEL TOURING becomes a willing partner for Michigan’s mix of city streets and rural routes.

  • Traction confidence: Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) helps manage grip and stability across rain, slush, and light snow.
  • Parking ease: The Multi-View Camera System helps you see around the vehicle when space gets tight.
  • Everyday comfort: Leather Appointed Seating Surfaces and supportive ergonomics help reduce fatigue.
  • Cold-weather warmth: A Heated Steering Wheel makes winter drives more inviting.
  • Cargo convenience: A Handsfree Power Tailgate streamlines loading when your hands are full.
  • Composed road feel: Tuned ride quality takes the edge off broken pavement and expansion joints.

Technology should simplify life, not complicate it. That’s why the SEL TOURING’s interface is arranged for quick familiarity, with clear sightlines and logical controls. Mitsubishi Connect with Safeguard And Remote Services And 24-Month Trial (Enrollment Required) adds compatible app-based convenience for status checks and select remote functions. USB access for rear passengers supports shared devices on family drives, and clear LED exterior lighting delivers a crisp, modern signature after dark. The result is a small SUV that feels thoughtfully refined, avoiding the frustration of cluttered controls or buried menus.

The driving confidence goes further than S-AWC traction alone. The Eclipse Cross’s balanced chassis translates steering and throttle inputs with restraint, giving you predictable feedback on wet downtown streets and rural detours alike. With the SEL TOURING, that assurance is paired with visibility tools that help you stay oriented even in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Whether you are venturing to the farmer’s market, heading to a tournament, or setting out for a weekend on the lake, the blend of composure and awareness makes a strong impression from day one.

LaFontaine Mitsubishi Lansing is proud to be a trusted resource for shoppers seeking an SUV that blends substance with simplicity, serving DeWitt, Howell, and Jackson with a product-first approach focused on your needs. If you want a compact SUV that doesn’t ask you to compromise between comfort, traction, and everyday usefulness, the SEL TOURING is an excellent place to start your comparison.
