The Eclipse Cross was Mitsubishi's compact coupe-SUV — single generation, 2017-2024 on UK sale. Launched 2017 with a 1.5 turbo petrol or 2.2 DiD diesel; 2021 facelift dropped the diesel and added a PHEV using Outlander's drivetrain — 2.4 + 13.8 kWh battery, 28-mile EV range, S-AWC AWD. Sloping roof, six-seat-ish cabin, controversial split rear glass dropped at facelift. An odd-looking SUV that didn't quite work — cabin tight, ride bouncy, only the PHEV is interesting and only because it's a cheaper Outlander PHEV.
