MITSUBISHI MOTORS Redesigns New ECLIPSE CROSS, Also Offered with Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain

TOKYO, Sep 18, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION (MMC) has released a first look at the redesigned Mitsubishi ECLIPSE CROSS.

"The ECLIPSE CROSS is the first step toward the next generation of Mitsubishi Design, and there is so much more to come."

Drawing from the success of the Mitsubishi OUTLANDER PHEV, which is the world's best-selling PHEV(3) with more than 260,000 units sold worldwide(4), the ECLIPSE CROSS will be the second Mitsubishi PHEV on the market, enabling customers to expand their activity range through an electrified SUV.
