Mitsubishi Unveils Second-Generation Eclipse Cross as Europe-Only EV Based on Renault Scenic

Built in France, production begins late 2025 with an 87 kWh launch version claiming 600 km WLTP range.

Overview

  • Derived from the Renault Scenic E-Tech on the Alliance CMF-EV platform, the model adds Mitsubishi-specific styling and minor interior tweaks.
  • The initial long-range 87 kWh variant targets roughly 600 km WLTP, with a mid-range option around 60 kWh planned for 2026.
  • A single front motor rated at 160 kW and 300 Nm delivers 0–100 km/h in 8.4 seconds, and the car supports 150 kW DC and 22 kW AC charging with a standard heat pump.
  • Series production is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2025 at Renault’s Douai plant in France.
  • Availability is confirmed for Europe only at launch, with Australia saying it would consider the model if offered and any UK return described as under consideration but unconfirmed; Mitsubishi is also pursuing a separate Foxtron-based EV for Australia and New Zealand.
