2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback

Mitsubishi confirmed the return of the Eclipse nameplate with the 2027 Eclipse Sportback, a new compact SUV, on May 15, 2024. This marks the first time the Eclipse name has been used since the discontinuation of the Eclipse coupe and Eclipse Spyder in 2011. The upcoming model will be built on the CMF-CD platform, shared with Nissan and Renault vehicles, indicating a potential for shared technology and components. Early reports suggest the Eclipse Sportback will feature a choice of powertrains, including a standard gasoline engine and a hybrid option, aiming to balance performance with fuel efficiency. Mitsubishi aims to leverage the nostalgic appeal of the Eclipse name while introducing a modern, practical SUV for the current market. The vehicle is expected to compete in the highly contested compact SUV segment, with pricing and specific trim levels to be announced closer to its market launch in 2027. Further details regarding its interior features, safety technology, and performance specifications are anticipated to be released by Mitsubishi throughout 2025 and 2026.
