Mitsubishi is readying a new electric SUV called the Eclipse Sportback, based on the Nissan Leaf electric crossover , and it is expected to hit the market in late 2026. The Eclipse Sportback is not Mitsubishi's first EV offering—remember the weird little i-Mi EV?—but it will be its most competitive one to date. We expect to see a driving range of around 300 miles per charge and a single-motor powertrain that provides front-wheel drive.

The Nissan's styling up front has been revised into a unique look for the Mitsubishi, but you can still see some Leaf in the SUV's side profile and rear end. We've tested the Leaf and noted a smooth ride and easy-going demeanor, but the single-motor powertrain lacks the punch we love in more powerful EVs. We expect similar road manners from the Mitsubishi, but we'll update this story with details once we drive the Eclipse Sportback for ourselves.
