The Mitsubishi Eclipse is finally going electric with a little help from Nissan. Set to go on sale in the next few weeks, Mitsubishi unveiled the new Eclipse Sportback EV for the first time.

When is Mitsubishi launching the Eclipse Sportback EV?

Although its design has evolved over the years, the Eclipse has been a staple in Mitsubishi’s lineup since it first went on sale in North America in 1990.

By early fall, it will be available with a fully electric powertrain for the first time. Mitsubishi revealed the first images of the 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV on Tuesday, an electric crossover SUV that might look a little familiar.

That’s because the new EV is based on the new Nissan LEAF as part of the Japanese automaker’s alliance.
