Mitsubishi’s new city SUV, sitting beneath the Outlander Sport/ASX/RVR, will be known as the Eclipse Cross in honor of the sports car sold in North America.
Four generations of the Eclipse were built and sold in North America from 1989 to 2012 as a coupe and convertible. All Eclipse Sport models will be imported to the US as the company’s plant in Normal, Illinois is now closed.
The new Eclipse Sport will have nothing in common with the FWD sports car apart from the name. The Eclipse Sport will look similar to the XR-PHEV II concept.
The Eclipse Sport will make its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show in March.
