Built on the CMF-EV platform, the model is designed exclusively as a battery-electric vehicle. Mitsubishi highlights a maximum driving range of approximately 600 kilometres. Standard AC charging is available up to 22 kW, while DC fast charging supports up to 150 kW. Mitsubishi also confirmed a medium-range variant, optimised for everyday use, will follow in 2026. The company has not disclosed details of the battery pack for this version, though it will likely feature a 60 kWh battery. That assumption is based on the technical details of the Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric, which is based on the AmpR Medium and has batteries with a capacity of 60 kWh or 87 kWh.
The electric SUV is equipped with an 87 kWh battery. Mitsubishi specifies a maximum output of 160 kW and peak torque of 300 Nm. Regenerative braking can be adjusted in four stages via steering wheel paddles, and the car offers one-pedal driving functionality.
Mitsubishi has yet to announce prices for its new all-electric vehicle. However, it states that it “will begin a sequential launch of the all-new Eclipse Cross battery-electric vehicle for the European market before the end of 2025.”
Mitsubishi previously sold a compact SUV under this name from 2018 to 2024, which was initially available only with a combustion engine. In 2021, Mitsubishi added a plug-in hybrid variant, but then completely discontinued the model in 2024. The new Eclipse Cross has been redeveloped as an electric-only model.
Safety and assistance systems
Up to 20 driver assistance systems are available, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. The SUV also integrates MI-PILOT for same-lane highway driving support.
The Eclipse Cross adopts Mitsubishi’s latest “Smart Armor” design language, characterised by robust, armour-like styling cues combined with refined surfaces. At the front, the evolved Dynamic Shield grille and distinctive LED lighting are paired with 20-inch alloy wheels and a rear design based on the brand’s “Hexagonal Stability” identity.
Digital cockpit and connectivity
Inside, the SUV features a two-row, five-passenger configuration with emphasis on comfort and spaciousness. Diamond-stitched seating, a customisable ambient lighting system with 48 colour options, and a panoramic electrochromic roof are among the highlights.
Digital functions are centred on a vertical 12.3-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio system. The model integrates Google built-in, providing access to Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play, in addition to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A Harman Kardon audio system and four selectable drive modes further enhance the user experience.
The vehicle also supports Firmware-Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates, enabling drivers to maintain the latest software features without visiting a dealer. Remote functions such as charging management and vehicle access are provided via the Mitsubishi Motors smartphone app.
“Following the launch of the Outlander plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) and the Grandis hybrid EV (HEV), rolling out the all-new Eclipse Cross marks a crucial step in our electrification strategy in Europe,” said Takao Kato, president and chief executive officer of Mitsubishi Motors.
All-electric comeback for Mitsubishi in Europe
The Japanese carmaker first confirmed the new SUV in May. According to the company, the new Eclipse Cross is the first all-electric vehicle that Mitsubishi Motors has launched in Europe since 2010 – when the i-MiEV became the world’s first mass-produced electric car. After that, Mitsubishi focused on plug-in hybrid technology.
The vehicle is supplied under an OEM agreement with Renault. The compact SUV will be manufactured at Renault Group’s ElectriCity Douai Plant in northern France, the group’s dedicated EV production hub.
Even though the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi alliance has faced challenges, both Mitsubishi and Nissan continue to rely on Renault to build electric vehicles for the European market. As recently as March, Nissan confirmed its intention to have the electric Micra produced at the Ampere plant in Douai on the basis of the Renault AmpR Small platform. The Renault 5 is also based on the AmpR Small, making the Micra a sibling model to the R5.
