Although Mitsubishi is slowing down the development of new cars for Europe, we are said to see another novelty on the old continent. At least in selected markets.

This year, Mitsubishi announced a new strategy that responds to the need to reduce costs. European fans and customers have not been very pleased since stops the development of new cars for Europe as part of the savings. This specifically means, for example, that we will not see on the old continent new generation Outlanderwhich is already around the corner. But one novelty will reportedly arrive on European markets.
We are talking about the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV coupe, which will soon have a facelift. It is to be introduced during the autumn and will start selling in the first half of next year. And according to behind-the-scenes reports, the modernized derivative should still arrive in Europe or in selected countries.
Automotive News Europe, usually well acquainted with what is happening in the automotive industry, claims that the modernized Eclipse Cross should be sold at least in Germany and France. The reason for the change in plans is allegedly strong lobbying of local dealers, which, as companies operating in the largest European markets, have a strong weight for the carmaker.

The upgraded Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross should easily pass stringent emission standards, as the upgraded design expands the range with a plug-in hybrid. And the PHEV version is supposed to be the only variant offered in Europe.
It would be a logical step, as the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV remains the most sought-after plug-in hybrid in Europe. Eclipse Cross PHEV would certainly have the ambition to follow in its footsteps. In addition, German and French retailers would like to use generous subsidies in local countries to support electromobility. It is these incentives that could ultimately keep Outlander PHEV in European sales. If the planned new generation went within the set limits, there would certainly be nothing to stop at least the plug-in hybrid version of the new Outlander from being sold on the old continent as well. The effect of the three diamonds in Europe could thus be saved.
Whatever the outcome, know that the upgraded Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is slowly beginning to be revealed to the world. The carmaker gradually began to publish pictures of the car, which indicates its appearance. She is inspired by the former e-Evolution concept, mainly in terms of solving the front parts. The main technical change is the arrival of this plug-in hybrid. It will only be the second in Mitsubishi’s offer, even though its Outlander is the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the world.
