Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be reborn as an EV, but it’s unlikely for Australia
- Mitsubishi is replacing the petrol and plug-in hybrid Eclipse Cross with a new all-electric small SUV, developed for Europe and built by Renault.
- The new Eclipse Cross is expected to be a restyled Scenic E-Tech by Renault and produced in France for the European market.
- Mitsubishi Australia has stated that the new Eclipse Cross is currently only intended for the European market.
- The Eclipse Cross will feature advanced ADAS technology, have Google built-in connectivity, and offer both long-range and mid-range variants.
- The upcoming Grandis model will be combustion and hybrid-powered, unlike the electric-only Eclipse Cross, and set for a July reveal.
- Mitsubishi's renewed strategy in Europe focuses on an SUV range with combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric powertrains.
- The outgoing Eclipse Cross will still be available in markets like Japan and North America.
- Mitsubishi plans to introduce an EV sourced from Foxtron in Australia in the second half of 2026, based on the Model B offering 500km of NEDC range.
- The Leaf-based future BEV is also being discussed for Australia alongside the Foxtron collaboration.
- Mitsubishi Australia withdrew the current Eclipse Cross due to not meeting Australian regulations, with a new ASX expected this year and a new Pajero Sport in the pipeline.
