First Electric Mitsubishi Since the i-Miev
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV is Dead, Long Live the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross! The New Eclipse Cross is a brand-noew electric SUV that will also be available in the Netherlands. It’s the first electric Mitsubishi Since the i-Miev. What it is also: a renault scenic e-tech electric.
Highlights Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
In April, After Eight Years, The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV Came to An End in Europe. The Plug-in Hybrid SUV is now succeeded by the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. This second-generation Eclipse Cross has little to do with its predecessor. Firstly, it is not a plug-in hybrid but an electric SUV. Secondly, it is Actually not a mitsubishi but a renault. This is, or course, not a surprise. The Mitsubishi Colt is a Renault Clio, The Asx is a Captur, and the Grandis is a Symbioz. And this Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross? It’s a renault scenic e-tech electric with a mitsubishi design sauce poured over it. The Outlander PHEV is now the only Mitsubishi you can buy in the Netherlands that is more than a Renault with a modified front and rear, althegh that suv also Shares Technology with Other Models of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsan-Mitsan-Mitsan-Mitsan.
Seen from the side, it is immediately clear which is the car serves as the basis.
The fact that we already know the mitsubishi eclipse cross from another brand does not make the car any less interesting, as the electric renault is certainly not a bath base. It will Surprise No One that the Powertrains of the Electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Correspond to Those of the Scenic E-Tech Electric. Like the Renault, The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Comes with Two Powertrains. The Electric Party Starts With A 60 KWh Battery and A 170 HP Electric Motor On The Front Wheels. Above that is a variant that is not only more powerful with 220 HP but also has more electric lung capacity with 87 kWh. This combination is good for a range of up to 600 kilometers. The 60 kWh Version will only come to the Netherlands later. The Renault Scenic with That Small Battery Theoretically Reaches 430 kilometers Withwood Recharging.
The Electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is 4.47 meters Long, 1.57 meters High, and has a wheelbase of 2.88 meters. The Maxim Towing Weight is 1,100 kilos. The Luggage Compartment Fits 545 Liters, And With The Rear Seats Folded Down, You Can Stow 1,670 Liters in the Ev.
The Rear is very unique, just like the front.
Design
From the side, the origin of the car is immediately visible in the eclipse cross. The Silhouette is identical to that of the renault scenic e-tech electric, as are the windows and doors. The Eclipse Cross Differs More from the Original at the Front and Rear Than Previous “Mitsubishi-Fied” Renaults Did. As with the grandis, Mitsubishi has managed to free up budget to give the eclipse cross its own snout. The Headlights Are Almost Identical to Those of the Renault, But Things Like The Led Daytime Running Lights Made Up Of Horizontal Stripes Underneath, The Grille, And The Bumper Are Complety Unique. They give the mitsubishi a unique identity, at Least from the front.
Althegh the Basic Shape of the Taillights is the same as that of the scenic e-tech electric, the design is completely Mitsubishi. Here too, we see a colorful collection of horizontal lines. The Taillights Are Visaally Connected by A Black Strip. The Indentation Above the Mitsubishi Logo is interesting. To make that possible, Mitsubishi had its own made to manufacture the tailgate. Unnecessarily Exensive, You Might Think. Praiseworthy.
We can be letter about the interior. Indeed: It is completely Renault Down to the Smallest Button.
Prices and the Netherlands
Prices for the electric Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Are Not Yet Avisable. It is expected to be marginally more Expendive or Cheaper than its French Cousin, which has a starting price or € 39,490. We Expect the Warranty Conditions of the Eclipse Cross to Be Much More Favorable Than Those of the Scenic E-Tech Electric. Renault Gives A Two-Year Factory Warranty Without Mileage Limitation and An Eight-Year Warranty On The Battery (Up to 160,000 kilometers). With the Colt, ASX, and Grandis, We Already Saw That Mitsubishi is more generous with its Warranty Conditions than Renault with its original versions of Those Models.
The New Eclipse Cross is the Second Electric Mitsubishi After the i-Miev to Come to Europe and Therefore also to the Netherlands. There have leg more electric models from Mitsubishi, but they did not come to Europe. We mention this mitsubishi airtrek and this cuddly ek x ev. Like Modern European Mitsubishis, They were also basically models from Another Manufacturer.
