Mitsubishi has refreshed its European-market Eclipse Cross EV exactly one year after its debut, adding a smaller battery option and upgrading the existing pack while cutting the entry price substantially. The electric crossover, which shares its underpinnings with the Renault Scenic E-Tech, now offers a more accessible route into the range for buyers in markets such as the Netherlands.
The headline change is the introduction of a 67 kWh battery using Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry, delivering a WLTP range of 472 km (293 miles). That unit is already familiar from the facelifted Renault Megane E-Tech. Alongside it, the larger Nickel Manganese Cobalt battery has grown from 87 kWh to 89 kWh, lifting maximum WLTP range by 15 km (9 miles) to 650 km (404 miles). Both packs support DC charging, replenishing from 15 to 80 per cent in 24 and 28 minutes respectively.
Regardless of battery choice, power comes from a single front-mounted electric motor producing 220 hp (164 kW), an increase of 5 hp over the previous version. Mitsubishi has left the exterior design untouched after a year on sale, and the interior carries over with dual 12.3-inch displays running Renault’s Google-based infotainment software.
The updated model will be available to order in European markets from November 2026. In the Netherlands, the cheapest Mid-Range option with the 67 kWh battery starts at a discounted €32,990 including a €3,000 electric benefit. The Long-Range variant with the upgraded 89 kWh battery will follow later, while the outgoing model remains available from €40,490. The Eclipse Cross EV originally arrived in the Dutch market with an introductory price of €45,690, meaning the lineup’s entry point has fallen by €12,700.
The update mirrors technical changes already introduced by its French twin, the Renault Scenic E-Tech, and positions the Eclipse Cross EV more competitively in Europe’s crowded electric crossover segment. American buyers, meanwhile, continue to have access only to the older generation of the Eclipse Cross, with no confirmed timeline for the electric version to reach that market.
