Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption (l/100km): 9.87.6
The Renault Megane is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy.
Mitsubishi Eclipse consumes 2.2 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Renault Megane, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Mitsubishi Eclipse could require 330 litres more fuel.
Fuel tank capacity: 67 litres60 litres
Full fuel tank distance: 680 km in combined cycle780 km in combined cycle

Renault Megane gets more mileage on one fuel tank.
Ground clearance: 148 mm (5.8 inches)120 mm (4.7 inches)
Because of the higher ground clearance, Mitsubishi Eclipse can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Mitsubishi Eclipse version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions.
