The rear lights remain the same as on the Scenic&nbsp;but are joined by a new gloss black plastic panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside, the model gets new seats with diamond-shaped quilting&nbsp;but retains the Scenic\u2019s 12.3in infotainment touchscreen, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-news\/consumer\/what-apple-carplay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple CarPlay<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-news\/consumer\/what-android-auto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android Auto<\/a>&nbsp;smartphone mirroring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mechanically, the Eclipse Cross is all but identical to the Scenic, with an 87kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery pack yielding a range of 372 miles between charges. It can be refilled at up to 150kW at a DC rapid charger or at up to 22kW on an AC connection. A single electric motor sends 215bhp and 221lb ft through the Eclipse Cross\u2019s rear wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u201cmedium-range\u201d model is set to arrive next year and is&nbsp;likely to use the entry-level Scenic\u2019s 60kWh battery and 168bhp motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Eclipse Cross will be built by Renault in Douai, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the latest in a run of rebadged Renaults to be launched by Mitsubishi under the firms&#8217;&nbsp;<a
