JapanUpdate, 9 October 2026: Mitsubishi has priced the 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV for the US, with sales from October 2026. The pricing section is new; the June text below is unchanged apart from cuts.
Mitsubishi has published the first official photographs of the Eclipse Sportback, an electric crossover built only for North America. It is a rebadged, restyled version of the third-generation Nissan Leaf, the kind of platform sharing that has become routine inside the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.
Eclipse Sportback EV US price and specification
The Eclipse Sportback EV starts at $37,745 before a $1,995 destination charge, which makes $39,740 delivered. It comes in a single configuration, and the only option is a $2,600 Technology Package with a Bose sound system, a hands-free power liftgate, roof rails and a panoramic sunroof.
A single front motor makes 214 hp from a 75 kWh battery, the same figures as the Leaf. Mitsubishi quotes up to 282 miles (454 km) of EPA-estimated range. DC fast charging peaks at 150 kW, with 10-80% in around 35 minutes, and the car has a native NACS port. Price and range are US figures only; Canadian pricing is separate.
What sets it apart from the Leaf
Mitsubishi has fitted its own bumpers and a different front fascia, replacing Nissan’s boomerang-shaped elements with a pattern of vertical dashes, and changed the tail-light graphics. The interior was not shown in the first photos and is expected to carry over from the Leaf.
