It's no secret that Mitsubishi has been using several Renault models in bringing back some of its dormant nameplates. From the Colt (rebadged Clio) to the ASX (rebadged Captur), and the Grandis (rebadged Symbioz), Mitsubishi wants a bigger slice of the crossover market in Europe with help from Renault.

Now, the Japanese automaker has revealed the next-generation Eclipse Cross, and it too has received the Renault treatment. No longer a wholly developed model from Mitsubishi, the latest generation Eclipse Cross is essentially a rebadged Renault Scenic E-Tech. It's built on Renault's CMF-EV platform and will exclusively be offered as an electric vehicle (EV).

Beginning with its design, Mitsubishi made sure the all-new Eclipse Cross carries the brand's signature design language despite being a Renault. It gets a Dynamic Shield front fascia that's complemented by a design concept called “Smart Armor”, which gives the EV a more robust and armor-like appearance. It also gets a three-dimensional front grille, distinct LED headlights, and eye-catching LED daytime running lights.

Filling up the wheel wells are massive 20-inch alloy wheels that feature a triangular design that makes them stand out. Complementing them are distinct J-shaped lines that flow with the daytime running lights, resulting in a more taut and agile-looking crossover. Last but not least, the all-new Eclipse Cross EV gets a sleek pair of LED taillights with gloss black accents for a more sophisticated look and feel.

Hop inside, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross EV features the “Sporty and Modern” design approach. The cabin is festooned with satin silver accents along with LED ambient lighting for a cozier feel. It also gets a panoramic glass roof with electrochromic function, which lets more light in and gives the illusion of a bigger cabin.

Sitting at the center of the dashboard is a tablet-inspired 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built in. It gets apps like Google Assistant, Google Maps, as well as wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay. In addition, users can say “Hey Google” to activate intelligent voice control, allowing drivers to set the climate control, set destinations, and more.

Other interior features available include a Harman Kardon sound system with five selectable modes, four drive modes (Personal, Eco, Comfort, and Sport), over-the-air wireless software updates, and the Mitsubishi Motors mobile app, which will allow users to control certain functions of the Eclipse Cross EV remotely like locking, unlocking, charging, checking the parking location, and more.

Powering the all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is an 87 kWh battery pack that drives a single electric motor. On a full charge, the battery offers a range of up to 600 km, while the electric motor puts out 160 kW (or 217 PS) and 300 Nm of torque.

To help keep the battery recoup lost energy while on the go, the Eclipse Cross EV comes with regenerative braking, complete with four modes that can be set and adjusted via the paddle shifters. It also benefits from one-pedal driving to ensure a smoother driving experience. When it comes to recharging the Eclipse Cross EV, Mitsubishi says it supports up to 22 kW via an AC charger, while a fast DC charger can recharge the crossover with up to 150 kW.

With the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross embracing the EV change, this particular crossover will most likely be a European offering only. However, we won't be surprised if Mitsubishi decides to make a similarly-sized EV for other markets in the not-so-distant future.
