The 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV Wins Green SUV of the Year

Mitsubishi Motors North America is strengthening its commitment to delivering vehicles to customers more efficiently through a new collaboration with AMPORTS and Port Freeport in Texas. The partnership expands Mitsubishi's U.S. distribution network, helping improve delivery times to dealerships across the Gulf Coast and Midwest while supporting the brand's long-term Momentum 2030 business strategy. Port Freeport's strategic location provides a faster, more streamlined route for incoming Mitsubishi vehicles. Once vehicles arrive at the port, AMPORTS manages unloading, vehicle processing, accessory installation, and final preparation before they are shipped to dealerships. This integrated approach helps reduce transportation time, improve efficiency, and streamline the entire supply chain. The new operation officially launched earlier this year, with more than 500 Mitsubishi vehicles arriving in April and a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in July to celebrate the partnership. The event also welcomed the arrival of the Höegh Sunrise, one of the newest environmentally advanced vehicle carriers, highlighting Mitsubishi's ongoing commitment to more sustainable transportation solutions. This investment reflects Mitsubishi Motors' continued focus on improving the ownership experience by ensuring vehicles reach dealer partners more quickly and efficiently while supporting future growth across the United States. At Heritage Mitsubishi, we're excited to see Mitsubishi investing in smarter logistics and enhanced distribution, helping bring the latest Mitsubishi vehicles to our showroom faster so you can enjoy the newest models with less wait. Visit us today to explore the innovative Mitsubishi lineup and experience the quality and value that continue to drive the brand forward.

Mitsubishi Motors is preparing to enter a new era of electrified mobility with the all-new 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV, a battery-electric subcompact SUV set to launch across North America in fall 2026. Following its global debut in June, Mitsubishi has announced additional details about the Eclipse Sportback EV’s charging capabilities, giving drivers a convenient and flexible approach to powering their next adventure. Every 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV will come standard with compatibility for SAE’s North American Charging System (NACS), providing access to the Supercharger network. With the ability to accept charging speeds of up to 150 kW, Level 3 DC fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 35 minutes under appropriate conditions. Charging times and capacity can vary depending on factors such as the power source, ambient and battery temperature, battery condition and age, and the use of vehicle accessories while charging. The Eclipse Sportback EV will also feature a J1772 charging connection, supporting both Level 1 and Level 2 charging. That means owners can plug in at home or take advantage of compatible public charging options. The new Eclipse Sportback EV combines its electric powertrain with an athletic SUV-inspired design. Unique front and rear fascias echo styling cues from Mitsubishi Motors' global lineup, while distinctive lighting signatures and sporty alloy wheels give the vehicle a confident road presence. The iconic Triple Diamond emblem completes the look, connecting this forward-looking EV to Mitsubishi's heritage. The Eclipse Sportback EV represents another important milestone in Mitsubishi's Momentum 2030 business plan. The strategy includes electrification as one of its four key pillars, alongside a renewed and expanded product lineup, a modernized retail sales model, and a strengthened partnership with the Mitsubishi dealer network. The Eclipse Sportback won't be alone for long. Mitsubishi plans to follow its arrival with an all-new rugged, off-road derivative of the Outlander SUV in early 2027, continuing the brand's expansion into new segments and electrified mobility. More information about the 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV will be announced in the coming months. Stay tuned to Heritage Mitsubishi for the latest updates as Mitsubishi's newest electric SUV gets ready to hit the road.

Even the best air conditioning systems may struggle to cool down your home when summer begins to ramp up. When the heats gets overbearing, try cooling off with these creative ideas. Build your own mini air conditioning unit When it feels too hot even with a fan directed right at you, you can use that fan and combine it with a large mixing bowl full of ice to build your own mini air conditioning unit. The principle is the same as a real air conditioner, except that it works by melting ice rather than boiling liquid. According to ApartmentTherapy.com, you’ll be best off tilting the bowl so that the air from the fan hits the ice as directly as possible. Even after the ice has melted into water, it should still help cool the room, albeit at a reduced rate. Alternatively, you can use frozen water bottles instead of a bowl of ice and then reuse them later. Know your pulse points If there’s no pool around to get completely submerged, you can still get cool by strategically pouring water or placing a cool object over your body’s pulse points. These are the points where it is easiest to feel your pulse because your blood vessels are close to the surface of your skin; as a result, because they are so close, you can also use them to cool off your blood, which will lower your whole body temperature as it travels through your circulatory system. The best pulse points, according to About.com, are the neck, temple, inner thighs, back and top of knees, ankles, inside bend of elbows and inner wrists. Swap your sheets Changing bed fabrics can be a great way to stay cool in the summer. While flannel and fleece do an excellent job of keeping you warm in the winter, fabrics that stay cooler and breathe easier—such as cotton—will be more effective at keeping you fresh during the summer nights. In addition, try to get your hands on a buckwheat pillow. Herbco.com says that the naturally-occurring air space between buckwheat hulls allows them to dissipate heat rather than trap it like conventional pillows. Combined with cooler fabrics, you’ll no longer need to toss and turn while looking for the coldest part of the bed. Turn off all heat sources This might seem like an obvious tip, but homes are full of sources of heat that are not so obvious. First, the basics: close the blinds, turn off the lights (or switch to incandescent light bulbs) and use the microwave or grill instead of the stove or oven if you need to cook something. Turn off and unplug all electronic devices as well, especially computers and TVs, which generate heat while running and even while idling. In addition, About.com says that light fabrics reflect heat rather than absorb it, which means that if possible, you can even “turn off” your warm surfaces by covering them with smooth white fabrics, even if that means simply throwing a white sheet over the corduroy sofa. Combine each of the tips above to stay cool all throughout the summer, no matter how warm it gets. This article is presented by Lexus of Northborough in Northborough, Massachusetts.
