To revive its sales, Mitsubishi revived the glorious name Eclipse and added it to a cross-over, a mix between an SUV and a four-door coupe.

The compact crossover market was crowded in 2017 when Mitsubishi introduced its brand new Eclipse Cross model. So it decided to build it as a crossover compact coupe.

Mitsubishi introduced the last update for the fourth-generation Eclipse in 2009, but it clearly didn't have the money to make it the way it could do.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse debuted back in 1990 as a sport coupe offered with powerful engines and even an all-wheel-drive system.

While its predecessors were hailed and praised by users, the third generation of the Eclipse didn’t live up to its name. Moreover, it wasn’t available with an all-wheel-drive system.

The second generation of the Eclipse was a joint project developed together by Mitsubishi and Chrysler, and it was a win-win situation.

When Mitsubishi tried to make a name for itself on the American market, it inked a deal with Chrysler Motor Corporation to jointly develop and produce cars, and the Eclipse was one of the results.
