Overview
- Mitsubishi officially announced the 2027 Eclipse Sportback on July 28, 2026 as a vehicle sourced from Nissan and based on the next‑generation Nissan LEAF.
- The company published battery and charging specs that match the Leaf: a 75 kWh liquid‑cooled battery and up to 150 kW DC fast charging capable of 10%–80% in about 35 minutes.
- The car has twin charging ports with a passenger‑side NACS inlet for Tesla Superchargers and a driver‑side J1772 inlet for Level 1 and Level 2 charging.
- Mitsubishi says the Sportback will reach the U.S. and Canada in late summer or early fall 2026 and will be sold through roughly 300 U.S. dealer partners, but it has not released price or its own EPA range figures.
- The launch reflects Mitsubishi’s Momentum 2030 push to electrify cheaply through alliance badge‑engineering, a strategy that speeds market return but ties Mitsubishi’s EV future to Nissan’s platform and product cycle.
