Mitsubishi is not doing things by halves as it makes a bold entry into the electric SUV segment. The Eclipse Cross features a 218 hp electric drivetrain, powered by a generous 87 kWh battery. This setup promises a range well over 600 kilometers (roughly 370 miles), enough to plan major vacations with confidence and fewer stops at charging stations.
In Brief
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross asserts itself in the French electric-SUV market with a 218 hp motor, a claimed range of more than 600 km, and a refined design. Available from February 2026, it comes in three trims, with a starting price of €44,990. The equipment is comprehensive even at entry level and grows with the chosen trim, incorporating modern technologies and driving aids. Mitsubishi also distinguishes itself with an extended warranty policy that can reach up to eight years or 160,000 km under certain conditions.
On the design side, the Japanese maker has paid attention to its craft. The front end proudly sports the “Dynamic Shield”, the brand signature that now marks all new models. The LED headlights and daytime running lights bring a modern touch, while two-tone 19-inch alloy wheels (and 20 inches depending on trim) reinforce the car’s dynamic character. At the rear, a black band connects the taillights, forming a distinctive lighting signature.
The cabin does not disappoint with a touchscreen that climbs to 12.3 inches on higher-trim versions, integrating Google for navigation and route planning. Rear passengers are not forgotten with two USB-C ports at their disposal. The heated steering wheel and front and rear armrests promise a comfortable daily experience.
A Rich Range and Generous Equipment
Mitsubishi offers a clear lineup with three variants. The entry-level Invite+, priced at €44,990, already provides generous equipment: lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and a multimedia system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It’s enough for drivers seeking the essentials without frills.
With the Intense Pack, the Eclipse Cross is offered at €46,990. Its equipment includes adaptive LED headlights, a hands-free power tailgate, and the Mitsubishi Multi-Sense system that lets you personalize drive modes and ambient lighting. Steering-wheel-mounted paddles for energy recovery during braking will appeal to drivers looking to maximize range.
At the top of the lineup, with the InStyle Pack priced at €52,990, the Eclipse Cross leans toward premium: 360-degree cameras, a panoramic roof, Harman Kardon audio with nine speakers, and power-adjustable front seats with memory for the driver. The Mi-Pilot driving assistant completes this setup by taking over longitudinal and lateral control of the vehicle.
To make access to this new model easier, Mitsubishi also offers a long-term lease from €349 per month over 37 months and 30,000 kilometers, with no down payment (CEE bonus included). Finally, the Eclipse Cross is eligible for the government incentives and the enhanced bonus.
A Warranty That Changes the Game
Beyond the equipment and performance, Mitsubishi plays a winning hand with its warranty policy. Where the competition typically offers three years, the Japanese maker provides coverage of five years or 100,000 kilometers.
Even better, this warranty can extend to eight years or 160,000 kilometers for owners who have their vehicle serviced at the official network.
