Mitsubishi officially jumps back into the US electric vehicle scene – and this time it doesn't just dive a toe. The company confirmed that in North America in the summer of 2026 it will be launching a brand new battery-electric SUV, which has marked its first full electrical model since the quirky Little I-Miev in 2017.
The new EV will be a compact crossover, and while Mitsubishi keeps the most juicy details under closure, we know that it is based on the next generation of the next generation as the upcoming Nissan Leaf. This means that it will ride the same on the CMF-EV architecture, which supports the Nissan Ariya, supports the range of up to 300 miles. So yes, this is not an average EV entry-up.
The new model is built in collaboration with Nissan in Japan and sent to the US coast. No word about pricing, battery sizes or even a name, but Mitsubishi has made it clear that this EV is only the beginning. As part of its “Impulse 2030” plan, the company promises a new or updated vehicle every year by the end of the decade, with four electrical models getting out by 2028. And yes, one of them could even be a pick -up.
Mitsubishi says that the goal is to give customers “flexible drive strand options” what marketing for: “We will have something for everyone.” Regardless of whether you are involved with electrics or still in gas or hybrid current, you want to cover them.
In addition to Mitsubishi's current American constellation of the Outlander, Outlander Phev, Eclipse Cross and Outlander sports and the brand, this Mystery EV will finally help to go beyond their current status under the radar in the electrical world.
In short: Mitsubishi is finally getting serious with EVS, and if this new SUV spends its potential, he could possibly bring the brand back to its radar.
