Mitsubishi Eclipse history and evolution
The Mitsubishi Eclipse evolved through four generations over its 22-year production period. The first Mitsubishi Eclipse launched in 1989 as a 1990 model and featured up to 190 horsepower, available all-wheel drive and iconic pop-up headlights. Mitsubishi introduced the second generation in 1995, boasting an all-new look with a turbocharged 210-horsepower engine and bucket seats. The convertible version debuted in 1996 and included a power-retractable soft-top roof. When the third generation launched in 2000, the all-wheel-drive option was gone but the car gained additional passenger space and comfort features. The fourth and final generation ran from 2006 to 2012, after which the Mitsubishi Eclipse was discontinued.
Mitsubishi Eclipse features to look for
As with most cars, available features vary between model years and trim levels. Drivers looking for an all-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Eclipse should watch for models from 1999 or earlier. On the other hand, newer models will offer more up-to-date tech and safety features. The 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse is available in both coupe and convertible styles. 2012 GT models are equipped with a 265-horsepower V6 engine and sport-tuned suspension. Available comfort and convenience features include heated leather seats, automatic climate control and keyless entry.
