The Eagle Vista name has been used on two subcompact cars sold from 1988 to 1992 in Canada. Along with the Eagle Summit, the car replaced the Renault Alliance/Encore because of Renault's withdrawing from the United States and Canada at that time. It was a rebadged version of the second generation Mitsubishi Mirage (station wagons were rebadged Mitsubishi Space Wagons). The Vista hatchback and sedans were available with either a 1.5 L 4G15 straight-4 (69 hp or 51 kW), or a 1.6L turbocharged 4G32 (106 hp or 79 kW), and was available with either a 4 or 5-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic transmission.[1] The turbo hatchback came in the GT equipment level, turbo sedans were called LX and carried taller gearing. Turbos were not available with the 4-speed transmission. Hatchbacks and sedans were replaced by the Eagle Summit. Top speeds (with manual transmissions) were 155 km/h (96 mph) or 187 km/h (116 mph) respectively for the naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions.[1]

The station wagon was available with a SOHC 4G63 2.0L inline four, with either a 5-speed manual transmission (available only on the 4WD version) or a 3-speed automatic. The Eagle Vista was discontinued in 1992, with the wagon replaced by the Eagle Summit minivan (based on the Mitsubishi RVR).
