Mitsubishi will have a more mainstream rival to the Nissan Qashqai when the Eclipse Cross launches in January.
Initially available with a 163PS 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, the Eclipse Cross offers a choice of manual or automatic transmissions and four-wheel drive on some versions.
As Mitsubishi has been a pioneer in plug-in hybrid technology, it’s likely a plug-in hybrid version will be offered at some stage.
A diesel version is also expected, we think it will be a version of the 2.2-litre diesel engine currently used in the Outlander.
