2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross EV: A Stylish Glow-Up Is Coming — But Will It Reach Australia?

Tynan Mitsubishi Kirrawee explores the next-gen electric SUV that could redefine Mitsubishi’s EV future

Mitsubishi is preparing to turn heads with the all-new 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, which is set for a full-electric glow-up. Scheduled for a global debut in Q3 2025, this next-generation small-to-medium SUV represents a bold departure from the previous turbo-petrol and plug-in hybrid versions.

But here’s the kicker: while it’s destined for Europe as a full electric vehicle (EV), it’s still unclear whether this striking new model will make it to Australia — or to Tynan Mitsubishi Kirrawee showrooms.

What We Know So Far About the 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross

Officially teased earlier this year, the next-gen Eclipse Cross EV will be closely based on the Renault Scenic E-Tech — part of the strategic Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. As such, you can expect modern, angular styling with a chiselled front fascia, sharp grille design, Mitsubishi-specific headlights, and sleek proportions that suggest a far more premium, aerodynamic design.

Where the original Eclipse Cross had soft curves and conventional combustion or plug-in hybrid power, the 2026 version is a dedicated EV — marking a complete transformation for this nameplate.

Australia's EV Line-Up: What Role Will the Eclipse Cross EV Play?

While the renders and leaks paint an exciting picture, Mitsubishi Australia has not yet confirmed whether the new Eclipse Cross EV will be sold locally. That leaves Tynan Mitsubishi Kirrawee and other dealers watching closely.

For now, Mitsubishi’s local electric vehicle rollout is focused on a new, yet-to-be-named EV model, developed in collaboration with Foxconn (Foxtron Vehicle Technologies) and Yulon Motors. This model — teased in a recent group silhouette — is expected to be Mitsubishi’s first mass-market EV in Australia and will arrive in late 2026.

That likely means Mitsubishi will avoid introducing the Euro-built Eclipse Cross EV locally in the short term, due to import costs, potential model overlap, and the brand’s strategic focus on more competitive EV pricing.

What’s Coming Soon to Tynan Mitsubishi Kirrawee?

While the 2026 Eclipse Cross EV might not arrive right away, Tynan Mitsubishi Kirrawee will continue offering a strong line-up of reliable, family-friendly SUVs — including the ever-popular Outlander, ASX, and Triton. With EOFY deals, hybrid options, and the promise of exciting electric arrivals in 2026, there’s never been a better time to explore Mitsubishi’s evolving range.
