Mitsubishi Motors Corp. will source two Renault SA-made models for its European lineup as the Japanese automaker deviates from a decision to pull back from the region.
The cars, which will be based on existing Renault platforms and tweaked to fit the Mitsubishi brand, will be sold in some European markets excluding the U.K. from 2023, the carmakers said in a statement Wednesday. Mitsubishi’s European lineup also will feature the Eclipse Cross plug-in hybrid.
