The first shipments of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV/crossover have landed in the UK ahead of market launch this month.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross shipments were unloaded at the import centre of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK at Bristol's Royal Portbury Docks over the Christmas period, with more shipments set to dock in the following weeks.

The car was first shown at last year's Geneva Motor Show. Production commenced at Okazaki in October 2017.

Lance Bradley, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: "We anticipate that the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will quickly become one of our most popular models and we are preparing to meet demand, while also ensuring that lead times are optimised for customers, whether they are purchasing at a dealership or through Mitsubishi Buy Online. With its distinctive style, high levels of equipment and impressive value, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will appeal to a whole spectrum of car buyers."

From launch, all variants are powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, mated to a six-speed manual (FWD only) or an all-new eight-step CVT automatic transmission (FWD and 4WD). Included in its standard specification are Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), which uses radar technology to detect a risk of collision, and which have contributed to the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross achieving a maximum 5-star Euro NCAP rating. The range is priced from GBP21,275 OTR.
