Mitsubishi Motors Europe has unveiled the New Eclipse Cross, its first fully electric compact SUV, specifically designed for European customers. The electric vehicle marks the brand’s return to the continent’s EV segment, following the launch of the i-MiEV over a decade ago.
The New Eclipse Cross will enter production in late 2025 at Renault Group’s Douai plant in France and will form part of Mitsubishi’s renewed European line-up. The model is also part of the company’s plans to re-establish itself in several key regional markets.
At launch, the New Eclipse Cross will feature an 87kWh battery offering an estimated range of up to 600 km (WLTP). A mid-range variant is expected to join the line-up in 2026. The all-electric compact SUV rides on the CMF-EV platform and is powered by an electric motor that produces up to 160kW (215 hp) and 300Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque.
