All-electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross: key details and what changes

The all-electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross marks a fundamental shift in the Japanese brand’s line-up. After a generation built around plug-in hybrid technology, this model becomes electric-only, using an architecture designed from the outset for this type of powertrain.

Rather than a simple update, it is a clear break from the previous model. The new technical base delivers obvious benefits in efficiency, cabin space and technology integration, placing the Eclipse Cross at a different level within the C-SUV electric segment.

What is the all-electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross?

The all-electric Eclipse Cross is a 100% electric compact SUV developed for the European market and built in Douai, France.

Its technical foundation comes from the work carried out within the Mitsubishi–Renault Alliance, using a platform dedicated to electric vehicles. This architecture improves interior packaging thanks to a flat floor and enables more effective battery integration.

Interior and technology

Compared with the previous generation, the cabin takes a notable step forward, adopting a more digital, user-focused approach while still remaining straightforward to operate.

The infotainment system features a 12.3-inch vertical screen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, plus over-the-air software updates.

The instrument panel is fully digital, the ambient lighting offers multiple settings, and the mobile app lets you manage various vehicle functions remotely.

Versus the previous model, the perceived quality has improved clearly, with more substantial materials and better cabin insulation, while the driving position retains the higher, SUV-style seating logic.

Electric powertrain

The all-electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross uses a front-mounted electric motor producing 160 kW (equivalent to 218 hp) and 300 Nm of torque, delivered immediately and smoothly.

The battery is rated at 87 kWh and is mounted under the floor, helping to lower the centre of gravity and improve dynamic behaviour.

This electrical architecture supports progressive, predictable driving, with instant throttle response and a high level of refinement both in town and on the open road.

Range and efficiency

Range is rated at up to 625 km on the combined WLTP cycle, and it can reach up to 819 km in urban driving.

Claimed combined consumption is 16.8 kWh/100 km, placing the model among the most efficient options in the segment when considering its battery capacity.

Charging

The all-electric Eclipse Cross supports AC charging up to 11 kW and DC rapid charging up to 150 kW.

At a rapid charger, it is possible to replenish up to 80% of the battery in around 30 minutes, enabling you to continue your journey with a meaningful amount of range.

For home or workplace charging, the AC capability supports regular use during longer parking periods.

Driving modes and energy recuperation

The system offers four drive modes and four adjustable levels of regenerative braking, controlled via the steering-wheel paddles.

A one-pedal driving function is also available, allowing you to drive mostly using the accelerator while maximising energy recovery.

Safety and driver assistance

The all-electric Eclipse Cross includes a wide set of driver-assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go and lane-keeping assist.

Who is this model for?

The all-electric Eclipse Cross is aimed at drivers who want a fully electric family SUV for everyday use, with enough range to comfortably handle longer trips.

The combination of an 87 kWh battery, up to 625 km of range and DC rapid charging up to 150 kW means it can serve as a primary car, reducing the need for intensive charging planning.
