Mitsubishi Motors said on Tuesday that its new compact SUV, Eclipse Cross, will be unveiled in March at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show.
The 87th Geneva International Motor Show holds in Switzerland from March 7 to March 19, 2017.
Eclipse, according to a statement issued in Tokyo, Japan, derives its name from the Mitsubishi’s popular specialty coupe model sold in the U.S. from 1989, while Cross is short for crossover.
“Eclipse is a word used to describe an astronomical event. Marrying stylish coupe lines with the freedom of movement the SUV genre gives, the Eclipse Cross’s beautiful, dynamic form serves to bring about the same sense of excitement and inspiration as the diamond ring seen immediately before and after a total solar eclipse does.
“The high-saturation red body color newly developed for the model is also reflected in the name to evoke the brilliance of the prominence seen during the total solar eclipse,” Mitsubishi said in the statement.
