About Eclipse Cross

The Eclipse Cross borrowed its name from one of Mitsubishi's most beloved cars, the Eclipse sports coupe that was built in Illinois from 1989 to 2012 and became a fixture of the tuner scene. Purists howled when the badge reappeared in 2017 on a compact crossover, but the Eclipse Cross made its own case, with a distinctive split rear window, a sharply creased body and a punchy turbocharged engine with available all-wheel drive.

A facelift a few years later smoothed out the controversial rear end and added a plug-in hybrid version, using the Outlander's twin-motor system, for Japan, Europe and Australia. Reviewers liked its handling, all-wheel-drive grip and value, while criticizing its cramped back seat and dated infotainment. In Europe, Mitsubishi has since reused the name on a new electric crossover developed with alliance partner Renault, showing how flexible a badge can become in a shared-platform world.

It slots between Mitsubishi's smaller Outlander Sport, also known as the ASX and RVR in some markets, and the larger Outlander, and competes with the Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos and Toyota Corolla Cross. This page follows the Eclipse Cross and the wider Mitsubishi news that surrounds it, including product plans, recalls, plant investments and sales reports, which makes it a broad window onto the brand's fortunes.
