Mitsubishi is stepping up its EV game with not one, but two new electric models on the horizon, both of which are slated to arrive in the second half of 2026, each targeting a different market, First up, there’s an electric crossover inspired by the upcoming Nissan Leaf, which will be offered in North America. Then, Mitsubishi is also teaming up with Foxconn to develop a separate EV aimed at the Australian market.

The Leaf-based crossover is expected to hit dealers in the U.S. and Canada by summer 2026. As the official teaser suggests, it will closely resemble the new Nissan Leaf, adopting a similar crossover silhouette with a sloping roofline and an identical LED lighting signature. For now, it’s unclear if there will be any other noticeable differences between this Mitsubishi EV and its Nissan counterpart, aside from the Mitsubishi badges.

Key Features of the Leaf-Based EV

This new EV will sit on the CMF-EV platform, the same one found under the upcoming Nissan Leaf, and will feature a single electric motor. That means, like the slightly larger Nissan Ariya, there won’t be an all-wheel-drive option here. However, Mitsubishi has confirmed that the Leaf-based model will include a NACS charging port and is targeting a range of over 300 miles (482 km).

In return, Mitsubishi is helping Nissan with a plug-in hybrid version of the Nissan Rogue (X-Trail), which is expected to arrive in 2026 as a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The Rogue plug-in hybrid will sit alongside gasoline and self-charging hybrid variants, with different styling cues to set them apart. Mitsubishi’s goal, of course, is to “strengthen its partnership with Nissan” through electrified vehicles.

In addition to expanding its EV lineup, Mitsubishi’s Momentum 2030 plan also includes a new approach to retail sales and an expanded dealer network in North America. This effort is designed to boost sales across the region.

New Foxtron-Developed EV for Australia

Mitsubishi has also signed a memorandum of understanding with Foxtron, an electric vehicle subsidiary of tech-giant Foxconn, confirming earlier reports about a potential collaboration. The result will be a new Mitsubishi EV that will be developed by Foxtron and manufactured by Yulon Motor in Taiwan.

The yet-unnamed model will be introduced in Australia and New Zealand in the second half of 2026. Mitsubishi claims it will have “excellent driving performance as an EV”, adding that it will be equipped with “an advanced infotainment system”. While not confirmed, the new model could be a rebadged version of the Pininfarina-designed Foxtron Model B, first shown in 2022.

While the deal sounds nearly finalized, both Mitsubishi and Foxtron have stated they will continue discussions before sealing the deal. Beyond the Foxtron-developed EV for Oceania, Mitsubishi’s broader strategy includes its own developed models for ASEAN, Renault-based models for Europe, and Nissan-based models for North America.
