Mitsubishi is preparing to launch a new electric SUV designed specifically for the European market, to be marketed under the name Eclipse Cross — marking the revival of this nameplate. The vehicle is scheduled to debut in September before its official market launch in 2025. It will be based on the same platform as the Renault Scenic E-Tech, representing another important milestone in the collaboration between Mitsubishi and Renault in Europe.
The all-new Eclipse Cross will join Mitsubishi’s lineup of electric vehicles developed in partnership with Renault. At the same time, the company continues to work on its own in-house projects, such as the self-developed Outlander SUV.
So far, the official teaser images of the new Eclipse Cross reveal some design details, including grille patterns, alloy wheels, flush door handles, tailgate badging, and a newly designed lighting signature. The vehicle was designed in collaboration with Mitsubishi’s design team in Germany, featuring the next evolution of the brand’s signature “Dynamic Shield” front-end styling.
As for the interior, Mitsubishi promises a spacious and versatile cabin suitable for families. The vehicle will feature a two-row, five-seat layout with 545 liters of cargo space. Inside, it will be equipped with Google Built-in infotainment and a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The new Eclipse Cross will first launch in a long-range variant, with a standard-range model to follow in 2026. It is expected to share specifications with the Renault Scenic E-Tech, which offers battery options of 60 kWh and 87 kWh. Powertrains will include a single-motor version producing up to 168 hp, and a dual-motor version with a maximum output of 215 hp.
The Eclipse Cross will compete in the compact SUV (C-SUV) segment — the largest segment in Europe. The vehicle will be produced by Renault at the Ampere Electricity plant in Douai, northern France, the same facility where the Scenic E-Tech is manufactured.
Mitsubishi has also confirmed that it will launch another electric crossover for the North American market in the summer of 2026. This model will be based on the next-generation Nissan Leaf and will be slightly smaller than the European Eclipse Cross
