The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (Japanese: 三菱・エクリプスクロス, Hepburn: Mitsubishi Ekuripusu Kurosu) is a compact crossover SUV produced by Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi Motors. It slots between the RVR/ASX/Outlander Sport and Outlander in Mitsubishi's global crossover lineup. The first-generation model has been produced since October 2017. Since 2025, the second-generation model has been sold exclusively in Europe as a battery electric model based on the Renault Scénic E-Tech. The 'Eclipse Cross' name originates from the unrelated compact sports car, the Eclipse. Unlike the original Eclipse, however, the Eclipse Cross is not assembled in the United States as Mitsubishi closed its Diamond-Star Motors plant in Normal, Illinois in February 2016 and sold the plant to electric vehicle startup Rivian in January 2017. Instead, the first generation of the SUV is assembled in Japan, China, and Brazil.
