2006 NY Auto Show
The Eclipse GS is equipped with a 2.4-liter 162 horsepower engine mated to either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission, and the 263 horsepower 3.8-liter V6-equipped GT comes with a new six-speed manual or five-speed automatic that, like the four-speed, has a Sportronic(TM) mode which allows drivers to manually engage their desired gear.
To increase driver- and front passenger room, the Eclipse's height was increased by nearly two inches, to 53.5 inches (or 53.8 inches when equipped with optional 18-inch wheels and tires). Thanks to its wider track, overall passenger volume was also increased by over two cubic feet - to a generous 81.6 cu ft. - offering room to stretch during the drive and room for easier ingress and egress.
