The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Plug-In Hybrid has just been unveiled for the Australian market before it starts to arrive in dealerships in August.
Mitsubishi will sell three variants of the Eclipse Cross Plug-In Hybrid in the local market. All feature a 2.4-liter petrol four-cylinder that produces 126 hp (94 kW) and 147 lb-ft (199 Nm) of torque. Supplementing this engine are a 80hp (60 kW) and 101 lb-ft (137 Nm) electric motor at the front axle and a 93 hp (70 kW) and 144 lb-ft (195 Nm) motor driving the rear axle.
All variants feature a 13.8 kWh battery pack that offers up to 55 km (34 miles) of electric-only driving.
Three distinct driving modes are available: EV, Series Hybrid, and Parallel Hybrid. The first relies solely on the electric motors; in Series Hybrid mode the 2.4-liter engine acts as a generator to charge the battery pack, while in Parallel Hybrid the engine drives the front wheels and the electric motors fire into action when required, such as when driving up
