After being shown around the car, I mentioned that it seemed too soon for the mid-size sport utility vehicle to undergo a generation change. In reply I was told the old model had been around for three years and, although time has obviously escaped me, that is indeed correct. To say the Eclipse Cross is all new isn’t strictly so, there are many elements that are carryovers, yet the popular SUV has had some dramatic changes that enhance its usability and driveability. For one, it’s bigger – 14cm longer in fact – and most of that has gone into the rear of the model, increasing load and rear passenger space. While the engine hasn’t been altered in design, there have been improvements to make it quieter and more responsive. It also drives out of a new all-corner power proportioning system. Well, it’s not new either, but it is new to Eclipse Cross, see it’s much the same system that Mitsubishi has used in its Lancer Evolution models and the old V6-powered Outlander. The Super All Wheel Control system is advanced and can be seen largely as a safety system, ROOMY: The new Eclipse Cross is longer than the previous model, most of the length has gone into the rear section. MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS: Generation change for 2021. it also has modes for snow and gravel that can be selected at will by the driver. Of course, not all Eclipse Cross variants have four-wheel-drive, the four-model range starts at $35,990 for a front-drive only model, there’s also a high-spec VRX front-driver at $41,990. The fourwheel-drive range starts at $37,990 for the XLS, the evaluation car was the high spec VRX at $43,990, and it is chock full of goodies. Items such as leather trim (heated seats front and rear), head-up display, dual-zone climate control, active cruise control with speed limiter, keyless entry and ignition, electric sunroof (dual) and paddle-shift eight-step automatic transmission are all fitted. It’s fair to say the controls have all been simplified as well, gone is the old centre console mouse-like device, the new Eclipse Cross has a touch screen display which has large icons for easy understanding and operation. Now at 4.5m the Eclipse Cross has a spacious in-cabin environment; the seats are beautifully supportive and comfortable, while rear seat head and leg room is appropriate, the latter not compromised by that healthy rear load space area – up to 405-litres of storage can be contained there, stretching to 672-litres with the rear seats folded. Bear in mind, though, it is a five-seater only. At the other end sits a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of 1499cc. If you are thinking that it would be underwhelming, you’ll be largely surprised, and take into account that’s the direction Honda has gone with its CRV, the capacity and outputs are very similar. The Eclipse Cross’ unit is stateof-the-art in terms of design, and it has healthy figures to support that statement. Mitsubishi claims 112kW and 254Nm power outputs, the latter realised flat across the torque curve spreading from 2000rpm to 3500rpm. If you add in its pairing to a continuously variable automatic transmission, then the ingredients are in place for a smooth transition of power and responsive throttle application. Drive through the CVT is seamless, that’s an area Mitsubishi has long persevered with, and that background has certainly helped with its application mated to a turbocharged engine, the result is a free-flowing spread of power, and good economy and performance figures. The Eclipse Cross is rated with a combined cycle average of 7.7-litre per 100km. On a long high-country journey I had no problem meeting Mitsubishi’s fuel usage claim with the readout constantly listing at 8.2l/100km, which was helped by a wallet-friendly 6l/100km instantaneous figure sitting at a steady • Price – Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross VRX, $43,990 • Dimensions – Length, 4545mm; width, 1805mm; height, 1685mm • Configuration – Fourcylinder, four-wheel-drive, 1499cc, 112kW, 254Nm, continuously variable automatic • Performance – 0-100km/h, 9sec • Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km 100km/h, the engine loping over very relaxed at just 1800rpm. In terms of acceleration, the Eclipse Cross will cut out a standstill to 100km/h time of 9sec, and it will power through a highway overtake (80-120km/h) in 6.8sec, using the paddle shifters to keep the engine singing happily in its peak power zone. These are all impressive figures which would make a buyer quite happy with his/her purchase. The Eclipse Cross is also rather tidy when it comes to tackling a tricky corner or two. I took the evaluation car through the hilly back roads beneath the Malvern Hills between Sheffield and Coalgate, those roads are partly unsealed and I was keen to get the feel of the SWAC system working beneath. However, what happens when grip is low is that all the unseen elements kick in and the driver is quite oblivious as to how that system is working for you. On seal the Eclipse Cross has purposeful steering, the weighting is near perfect and there is solid communication as to how the rubber is reacting to the road surface. The tyres are a Toyo brand (225/55 x 18in) and they send strong messages through the steering system so that the driver is fully aware of how the entire car is reacting under cornering pressure. Body movement is low and suspension control is high. It must also be said the Eclipse Cross moves through the air quietly, the ride is controlled, generating a level of comfort not often found in a mainstream, cost-friendly SUV. Mitsubishi are well pleased with their performance over the last year or two. They have a vast product range that hasn’t been overly affected by supply issues due to Covid-19. What’s more, another high-profile, new-generation model is due soon – the Outlander. It and the Eclipse Cross will dovetail nicely in the marketplace, while sales of the evergreen ASX continue to tick over. Any Mitsubishi buyer will be pleased with the purchase, the product is affordable and high in quality. There is also peace of mind, the Eclipse Cross gets a 10- year driveline warranty. has motoring covered!

The changes proposed seek to: a. Significantly reduce the current 15m road setback for buildings on Māori land to 3m, or 5m where the garage directly faces the road (so cars parked in front of the garage door will not extend onto the road). b. Reduce the current 10m internal boundary setback for buildings on Māori land to 2m. A recession plane is proposed to be introduced to offset the possible visual and privacy effects on neighbours of an internal boundary setback reduction of this extent. c. Increase the maximum permitted site coverage of buildings on Māori land from 35 percent to 50 percent, to allow for the possibility of multiple buildings on communally owned land. d. Provide a more generous earthworks allowance – the same as for residential zones – for Māori land in the Papakāinga/Kāinga Nohoanga zone, where sites are below 2000m2. e. Extend the definition of Māori land (for the purposes of the Papakāinga/ Kāinga Nohoanga zone only) so that general land in the following categories can also benefit from the zone’s Māori land rules: i. Land where a status declaration was made under the Māori Affairs Amendment Act 1967 converting Māori freehold land to general title, and there have been no changes of ownership since the conversion other than to an owner’s bloodline successor; or ii. Land where one or more owners are able to provide written evidence of Whakapapa to the original grantees of the land as confirmed by the Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu Whakapapa Unit or the Māori Land Court; iii. Land which is vested in a Trust constituted pursuant to Part 12 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 or a Māori incorporation constituted pursuant to Part 13 of the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993; iv. Land which is owned by a Rūnanga with authority/mana over the area in which the original Māori reserve is located. More information The proposed Plan Change 8 and assessments required under section 32 of the RMA, together with any supporting documents, can be viewed at any of the Council’s service centres or libraries or at ccc.govt.nz/planchange8 We are holding public drop-in sessions to provide more information and answer questions about the proposed Plan Change, which you are welcome to attend. The sessions will be held: • 28 April 2021 5:30pm-7pm, at Little River Rugby Clubroom, Little River. • 4 May 2021 5:30pm-7pm, at Mt Herbert Community Facility, Lyttelton. Submissions Anyone can make a submission on this plan change via our online form at ccc.govt.nz/planchange8 or collect a hard copy form from our Civic Offices at 53 Hereford Street, or any of our service centres or libraries. For details of your nearest service centre or library please visit ccc.govt.nz/contact-us or phone 03 941 8999. Submissions must be received before 5pm on Thursday 13 May 2021. Process for public participation Once all submissions have been received, they will be made publicly available. Further submissions will then be invited, allowing certain persons and organisations to support or oppose any of the initial submissions. A Council hearing will then be held to consider all submissions, and decisions will be made following this hearing. Anyone who has made a submission has the right to appeal the decision to the Environment Court. The objectives, policies and rules proposed in this Plan Change will have no legal effect until the Council gives public notice of its decision on the Plan Change and matters raised in submissions or the Environment Court makes an order which grants any rule immediate effect (RMA s86B).
