Meet The New(ish) Cheap EV Hitting The U.S. This Summer

Mitsubishi will offer the Eclipse Sportback, an electric vehicle based on the Nissan Leaf, in the U.S. starting this summer. This model is positioned as a more affordable electric option, with pricing expected to be around $30,000. The Eclipse Sportback's introduction marks Mitsubishi's re-entry into the U.S. EV market after a hiatus. The vehicle shares its platform with the Nissan Leaf, a long-standing competitor in the compact EV segment. Mitsubishi aims to leverage this established platform to offer a cost-effective electric vehicle to American consumers. The exact release date within the summer timeframe has not been specified, but dealerships are preparing for its arrival. This move by Mitsubishi could intensify competition in the budget-friendly EV sector, potentially offering consumers more choices beyond existing models.
