Mitsubishi is coming out with a rival for the Nissan Qashqai and it's going to be using a name from the dead. The Eclipse.
The Eclipse was originally a coupe, but the model came to an end in 2012.
Now Mitsubishi is developing a new compact crossover to combat the Qashqai. It will be styled after the XR-PHEV concept car that was displayed at the 2015 Geneva show.
So far they've only released a teaser image but you can see the similarities from the side profile.

The concept was two-wheel drive and powered by an unspecified plug-in hybrid powertrain that produced 160bhp and emitted 40g/km of CO2. However, the new SUV is unlikely to be sold with a hybrid powertrain for cost reasons. Instead, the line-up is likely to feature a new turbocharged petrol engine alongside the diesel engines currently found in the ASX range, with manual, CVT and eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel-drive variants available.
