The Mitsubishi Eclipse, including the Eclipse Cross and Spyder models, utilizes a variety of braking systems depending on the year and trim level, with options for both standard and performance-oriented braking. Many Eclipse models feature disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. The Eclipse Cross, particularly the PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version, incorporates regenerative braking, which helps recharge the battery by converting kinetic energy into electrical energy when decelerating.

Most Eclipse models, including the Eclipse Cross, feature disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, providing reliable stopping power.
Different brake pad compounds are available to suit various driving conditions, from street use to more demanding track conditions.
Stainless steel braided brake lines are often included in aftermarket brake kits for enhanced durability and performance.
For enhanced stopping power and heat management, big brake kits are available, often featuring larger calipers, rotors, and upgraded brake pads.
Two-piece rotors, sometimes with cross-drilled or slotted designs, are used in performance applications to reduce heat buildup and improve cooling.
Lightweight aluminum calipers, such as 8-pot or 4-pot calipers, are used in big brake kits for increased clamping force and heat resistance.
Full-floating rotors, designed to self-center within the caliper, help maintain consistent pad contact and reduce the risk of brake fade.
In the Eclipse Cross PHEV, the electric motors act as generators when the driver releases the accelerator, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy to recharge the battery.
The intensity of regenerative braking can be adjusted using the selector lever (B position for stronger braking) or paddle shifters (for different levels of braking force).
The average cost for brake pad replacement on a Mitsubishi Eclipse is between $270 and $367, including parts and labor.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse has a reliability rating of 4.0 out of 5.0, ranking it 20th out of 36 compact cars.
Some common issues reported include transmission problems, faulty service brakes, and wheels prone to bending.
