Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback (2027)

Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) released the first images of the 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback, the global debut of an all-new fully electric vehicle (EV).

Working with Alliance partner Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., Mitsubishi Motors will introduce the new Eclipse Sportback EV to the North American market as a 2027 model in the second half of 2026. Based on the highly touted new-generation Nissan LEAF, the Mitsubishi Motors Eclipse Sportback EV will offer cosmetic changes that differentiate the two vehicles and make this model uniquely Mitsubishi.

The sporty electric subcompact SUV will feature unique front and rear fascias that echo other vehicles in Mitsubishi Motors' global lineup, distinct front and rear lights and lighting signatures, striking and sporty alloy wheels and, of course, the brand's iconic Triple Diamond branding.

The all-new Eclipse Sportback EV continues Mitsubishi Motors' electrification journey, which goes back to the 1970s when it first started developing fully electric vehicles in Japan. The world's first mass-produced electric vehicle, the i-MiEV, went on sale in select markets in 2009, and arrived in the U.S. and Canada in late 2011. A year later, the Outlander PHEV, the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV, was introduced globally, arriving in North America in 2018.
