The name was derived from the French word galant , meaning "chivalrous". [ 1 ] There have been nine distinct generations, and cumulative sales now exceed five million. [ 2 ] It began as a compact sedan, but over the course of its life has evolved into a larger mid-size car . Initial production was based only in Japan, but since 1994 the American market has been served by vehicles assembled at the former Diamond-Star Motors (DSM) facility in Normal, Illinois .

The design was dubbed "Dynawedge" by Mitsubishi, referring to the influence of aerodynamics on the silhouette. [ 2 ] Three models were available, powered by the new 'Saturn' engine in 1.3 ( AI model) or 1.5 L ( AII and AIII ) configurations. 1.4 and 1.6 litre versions (14L and 16L) replaced these in September 1971, and a larger 1.7 followed in January 1973. Initially only available as a four-door sedan, a five-door estate and two-door hardtop variant were added in 1970, the hardtop offering the unique stylistic feature of being the first Japanese production passenger car with full side windows and no side pillars. It became Mitsubishi's first car to be sold in the United States in 1971 when the Chrysler Corporation , the company's new partner and stakeholder, began importing the car as the Dodge Colt . It was also produced by Chrysler Australia and sold alongside the larger Chrysler Valiant models as the Chrysler Valiant Galant. From 1970, a fastback coupé model was developed, the Galant GTO . Fashioned after contemporary American muscle cars , the hardtop GTO was available with a choice of two "Saturn" engines and the 2-litre Astron 80 , and was available until 1975. The nameplate was sufficiently highly regarded in Japan for it to be resurrected for the 1990 Mitsubishi GTO coupé. A second, more compact coupé was introduced on a chassis shortened by 12 cm in 1971, the Galant FTO . Powered by the 4G41 1.4 L engine, it too would leave a legacy for the company to return to in the 1990s with the Mitsubishi FTO . [ edit ] New Zealand Although the earlier Colt had been imported in limited numbers, this generation, in 16L coupe form only, was the first model to establish the Mitsubishi brand in New Zealand from 1971 when newly-appointed distributor Todd Motors, which also imported and assembled Chrysler and Hillman, started selling a small number of Japanese-assembled cars to supplement its mainstream Hillman Avenger and Hunter sedans. This was the reverse of what Chrysler Australia was doing but the Hunter was a flop there and the Avenger never launched. The coupe was assembled in New Zealand from 1972, firstly at Todd's Petone factory, on the Avenger/Hunter line and, from 1975, at the brand-new purpose-built factory in Porirua (closed in 1998).

It was again sold by Chrysler in many different guises; as the Dodge Colt in the United States, as the Plymouth Colt and Plymouth Cricket in Canada (from 1974), [ 3 ] as the Chrysler Valiant Galant in Australia, and in Europe as the Colt Galant. 1974–1976 Chrysler Galant (GC) sedan (Australia) 1976 Galant The coupe, now with an 1,850 cc engine was again assembled in New Zealand by Todd Motors at Porirua. The sedan was not offered as Todd was planning to assemble the larger Galant Sigma sedan and wagon range from late 1977 and was still also importing the British Avenger and Hunter models. This new Galant model was more curvaceous, influenced by contemporary "coke-bottle" styling, and featured a range of larger 'Astron' engines developing up to 125  PS to complement the 'Saturn' units. During the second generation, the first Astron 80 engines were introduced in some markets using Mitsubishi's newly developed "Silent Shaft" balance shaft technology for reduced vibration and noise. [ edit ] Third generation Third generation Also called Mitsubishi Galant Sigma Chrysler Sigma Mitsubishi Sigma Colt Sigma Dodge Colt Production 1976–80 Class Compact Body style(s) 2-door coupé (Lambda) 4-door sedan 5-door station wagon Layout FR layout Engine(s) 1.6 L 4-cylinder (Saturn) 1.85 L 4-cylinder 2.0 L 4-cylinder 2.6 L 4-cylinder Wheelbase 2,515 mm (99.0 in) [ 4 ] Length 4,330 mm (170.5 in) [ 4 ] Width 1,655 mm (65.2 in) [ 4 ] Height 1,355 mm (53.3 in) [ 4 ] The third-generation of the car was introduced in 1976, and was known as Galant Σ (Sigma) . In many export markets the car was simply known as the Galant. At that time, the Dodge Colt in America was actually a Mitsubishi Lancer , not the Galant anymore, but nonetheless the Galant Wagon variant was sold with the Dodge Colt label in the US and Canada. In Australia, where the car was made locally at Chrysler's Clovelly Park plant, it was known as the Chrysler Sigma and, after the buyout of Chrysler Australia by Mitsubishi, as the Mitsubishi Sigma. Australian content was quite high and included a locally-made 2.6-litre 'Astron' four in place of the 1.6, 1.85 and two-litre engines used in other export markets. A new coupé (two door) was introduced in 1976 to replace the Galant GTO. It was known in Japan as the Galant Λ (Lambda) . The coupe was sold in the United States between 1978 and 1980 as the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Sapporo . Mitsubishi introduced the MCA-Jet engine for Japan and other emissions-controlled markets with its latest Galant. This incorporated the "Jet Valve", a secondary intake valve which improved emissions without necessitating the need for a completely redesigned cylinder head . Todd Motors initially assembled 1.6GL, 1.85GLX and two-litre GLS sedan models for New Zealand, with the GLS getting a five-speed manual transmission as standard with three-speed auto optional. These were the first NZ-assembled Mitsubishis to have rear screen demisters as standard. Early cars had conventional rod-suspended headliners developed locally to meet local content rules but these were notorious for collapsing on to the passengers' heads and were quickly replaced by newly developed, glued-in moulded foam liners. The range was later revised to add the wagon and drop the 1.85-litre engine. The third generation Galant was the recipient of the Car of the Year award in South Africa in 1977. [ 5 ] [ edit ] Fourth generation Fourth generation Also called Mitsubishi Eterna Mitsubishi Sigma Lonsdale (car) Production 1980–87 Class Compact Body style(s) 2-door coupé (Lambda) 4-door sedan 5-door station wagon Layout FR layout Transmission(s) 5-speed manual 3-speed automatic Mitsubishi's fourth iteration of the Galant/Sigma debuted many new innovations for Mitsubishi. Their new 'Sirius' engine was offered in turbocharged form for performance enthusiasts in some markets, while for economy, an 'Astron' 4D55 , the first diesel engine in a Japanese passenger car, was also offered. A new electronic fuel injection system was introduced on some versions of the gasoline Astron engine. For the second generation in a row Mitsubishi could claim to be building an award-winning car, as this was chosen as Car of the Year in New Zealand in 1981. The cars sold there were again locally assembled with 1.6 and two-litre engines, and a choice of transmissions and trim. As elsewhere (see below), the wagon versions carried over the old body style with a new nose and interior. From 1982 to 1983, some of the Australian Sigmas, which had the carried-over 2.6-litre, locally made engine, were exported to the United Kingdom with the Lonsdale badge, circumventing the voluntary import quota restrictions adopted by Japanese manufacturers. However the car was unsuccessful, and for 1983 and 1984 it carried Mitsubishi Sigma badges in the UK before imports were discontinued. The wagon version was facelifted, although from firewall back the vehicle remained the same. Production of the wagon version continued in Australia until 1987 when it was replaced by the new Magna . The two door coupé was also redesigned for 1981 and was sold through 1983. The fourth generation was known as the Mitsubishi Scorpion in Australia, and the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Sapporo in the United States. The fourth generation sedan and coupé were both slightly larger than the third generation cars. Additional emphasis was given to ergonomics , aerodynamics , and safety. Shoulder room, leg room, and head space were all increased, and the trunk was slightly enlarged for more luggage capacity. The interior was made quieter with additional carpeting and other acoustic dampening materials and a double-thickness front bulkhead. [ edit ] Fifth generation Fifth generation Also called Mitsubishi Eterna Mitsubishi Sigma Mitsubishi V3000 Mitsubishi Magna Production 1983–92 Class Compact Body style(s) 4-door sedan 4-door hardtop sedan Layout FF layout Engine(s) 1.6 L Saturn I4 1.8 L Sirius 4D65 I4 TD 2.0 L Astron I4 2.0 L Astron I4 turbo 6G72 3.0 L V6 Related Mitsubishi Magna Mitsubishi V3000 A fifth-generation model shifted to front-wheel drive for 1983 as a four-door sedan and hardtop (with different styling). This formed the basis of the widened (by 4 inches/100mm) Mitsubishi Magna in Australia for 1985, the same year in which Mitsubishi won Bild am Sonntag 's Das Goldene Lenkrad (Golden Steering Wheel) award in Germany for the Galant and Wheels ’ Car of the Year for the Magna. [ 6 ] This generation was also sold as the Mitsubishi Sigma until 1990 in the United States. Export trim levels were often engine-specific, depending on the market: GL models were offered with either 1.6L or 1.8L engines, GLS models (GLX in some markets) had 2.0-litre engines (badged 2000 GLS) and Diesel versions had a 1.8-litre Sirius turbodiesel engine. The diesel model did not have a trim level, it was simply the 1800 TD. The initial 1984 cars assembled by Todd Motors in New Zealand again were built with 1.6 and two-litre engines, the latter with an automatic option and three trim levels. The top SE version had salmon coloured velour upholstery and numerous electronic gadgets including digital dashboard, automatic climate control with the brand's first factory-fit air conditioner, cruise control and speed-dependent intermittent wipers. The salmon/brown interior was replaced with a deep red as a running change around 1985. This generation was replaced in 1988 by the sixthe generation Galant (see below) and supplemented by the unique-to-NZ V3000 range, with three-litre V6 engine, which remained in production until 1992. It was developed specially to give Mitsubishi New Zealand (which bought out Todd Motors in 1987) a six cylinder family car, suitable for towing boats and caravans, to compete with the Ford Falcon and Holden Commodore and was not sold in any other market.

This generation won the Car of the Year Japan award in 1987 and the GS model became Motor Trend ' s Import Car of the Year in 1989. [ 7 ] This Galant began American sales in 1989 side by side with the Sigma. In 1991, Mitsubishi Motors Company completed a new assembly facility at Barcelona, Venezuela with the Galant being one of the first models produced. It was sold until 1994 under the ZX, MF, MS and MX names, which identified the various levels of equipment and transmission. The Sigma designation disappeared with the 1990 model. A new hardtop liftback model was added in 1988, called the Mitsubishi Eterna . This generation was also sold in Canada as the Dodge 2000GTX and Eagle 2000GTX . Sales ended in 1992. A limited edition based on the GTi-16v model was introduced in 1989, modified by German tuning company AMG (now owned by Mercedes-Benz ),with mildly uprated engine (172 PS (127 kW; 170 hp)) and unique bodykit, alloy wheels & leather interior. The sixth generation was also the first to see the introduction of the VR-4 variant, which was the basis for Mitsubishi's participation in the 1988–1992 World Rally Championships . The Galant's 4G63 two litre DOHC turbocharged engine and 4WD transmission was later adopted for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution with little modification, and would remain in production for fifteen years.

A Japan-only hardtop derivative called the Mitsubishi Emeraude was also launched in 1992. This generation marked a substantial change in suspension design. The front switched from struts to a multi-link structure featuring two lower arms and one upper arm. The rear switched from a beam axle to a newly designed multi-link system. Both designs would carry over to the second generation Mitsubishi Eclipse and its sister vehicles. Because the Lancer Evolution was now Mitsubishi's homologated rally car, the seventh generation VR-4 became a less overtly sporting vehicle, eschewing the old four-cylinder engine in favour of a smoother two litre V6 twin turbo . The four wheel drive transmission was retained. Production in the United States began on May 24, 1993 when the first seventh generation Galant rolled off the assembly line in Normal, Illinois . In 1994, a slightly upgraded GS version was available with a 160 hp (120 kW) twin cam engine, speed-sensitive steering, rear stabilizer bar, and an available manual transmission. The seventh generation Galant, also known as the Mitsubishi Eterna, formed the basis of the Proton Perdana . 1997-1998 Mitsubishi Galant (US) Emeraude 4-door hardtop (Japan) Liftback (Europe) [ edit ] Eighth generation Eighth generation Also called Mitsubishi Legnum Mitsubishi Aspire Mitsubishi MX/MF Mitsubishi VRG Mitsubishi VRM(Hong Kong) Production 1996–2006 Class Mid-size Body style(s) 4-door sedan 5-door station wagon (Legnum) Layout Front engine , front-wheel drive / four-wheel drive Engine(s) 1.8 L 4G93 GDI I4 2.0 L 4G63 I4 2.0 L 4G94 I4 2.0 L 6A12 V6 2.4 L 4G64 I4 2.5 L 6A13 V6 2.5 L 6A13TT V6 twin turbo 3.0 L 6G72 V6 Transmission(s) 4-speed automatic 5-speed manual 5-speed semi-automatic Wheelbase 2,635 mm (103.7 in) Length 4,660 mm (183.5 in) Width 1,740 mm (68.5 in) Height 1,410–1,420 mm (55.5–55.9 in) Curb weight 1336 kg (2945 lbs) [ 9 ] Related Mitsubishi Legnum Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 The eighth-generation 1996 model continued the 1992 design themes but a station wagon (known in Japan as the Mitsubishi Legnum ) was added while the liftback was removed from lineup. This model won the 1996–97 Car of the Year Japan award. Despite being superseded in the US from 2003, it remained on sale in other countries until 2006. This model was also produced in Barcelona, Venezuela , at the only Mitsubishi plant in Latin America. At the beginning, the Galant was marketed in that country under the MX and MF names in 1997 and 1998 (Featuring a manual or INVECS-II semi-automatic transmission respectively), then kept the Galant name until the end of its production in 2006. Although the equipment options were limited, the VR-4 appearance package was offered in that market. The American market Galant, introduced on July 7, 1998, graduated to the US Environmental Protection Agency‎ 's mid-size class. The front suspension switched from double-wishbones to struts, though the rear was upgraded with a stabilizer bar standard on all but the base DE model. ES, LS and GTZ models were offered with a 195 hp (145 kW) V6 engine , the 6G72 3.0 L, mated to a standard 4-speed conventional auto. Another difference from Asian and European models was lack of ABS , which was only installed on 3.0 L model. Mitsubishi opted to further develop the technology in its range-topping VR-4 , which was now powered by an enlarged 2.5 L V6 twin turbo. The car featured either a conventional 5-speed manual or INVECS-II transmission . Some models were also fitted with the same advanced active yaw control (AYC) as the Lancer Evolution , to give it greater agility than would be expected of such a large vehicle. Finally, as with the rest of the range, the VR-4 could now be had either as a Galant sedan or as a Legnum station wagon . In some Asian markets Mitsubishi offered a 2.0 L MIVEC version of the 6A12 naturally aspirated V6 engine, badged as the "Galant 2.0A". Output was placed at 200 hp (150 kW) and 147 lb·ft (199 N·m) of torque. The larger 2.5 L 6A13 was more common in the rest of the world. In 1998 the company introduced the Mitsubishi Aspire . Externally identical to the regular Galant, the new model name denoted the newly-introduced gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. 2001-2003 Mitsubishi Galant (US) Station wagon (Europe) [ edit ] Ninth generation Ninth generation Also called Mitsubishi Grunder Mitsubishi 380 Production 2004–present Class Mid-size Body style(s) 4-door sedan Layout FF layout Platform Mitsubishi PS platform Engine(s) 2.4 L 4G69 I4 3.8 L 6G75 V6 3.8 L 6G75 V6 MIVEC Transmission(s) 4-speed automatic 4-speed semi-automatic 5-speed semi-automatic Wheelbase 108.3 in (2,750 mm) Length 190.4–191 in (4,840–4,900 mm) Width 72.4 in (1,840 mm) Height 57.9–58.2 in (1,470–1,480 mm) Curb weight 1540 kg (3395 lbs) ES/LS [ 10 ] [ 11 ] 1696 kg (3739 lbs) Ralliart [ 12 ] Related Mitsubishi Eclipse Mitsubishi Endeavor Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 Designer Olivier Boulay The United States has had the sedan-only ninth-generation PS platform model since October 15, 2003. It was announced at the 2003 New York International Auto Show in April for the 2004 model year, following the exhibition of the SSS concept sedan at the North American International Auto Show three years before. [ 13 ] The ninth-generation United States-sourced model is available for sale only in a few regional markets, namely North America, Puerto Rico , Mexico, Russia, Ukraine and Arabia . Russia began sourcing its Galants from the United States from 2006. The Arabian markets began sourcing its Galants from the United States from the 2007 model year. A size increase resulted in slightly more interior space and a weight gain of several hundred pounds. The 4-cylinder engine, while still 2.4 liters in displacement, upgraded from Mitsubishi's 4G64 design to the newer 4G69 design, resulting in a horsepower increase from 140 to 160. Likewise, the V6 jumped from a 3.0-liter with 190 hp (140 kW) to a 3.8 with 235. All North American Galants gained 4-wheel disc brakes but lost their rear stabilizer bar. A Ralliart version joined for 2007, finally upgrading the V6 to a class-competitive 258 horsepower (192 kW) while also adding a firmer suspension, front strut tower bar, rear stabilizer bar, and 18-inch (460 mm) alloy wheels. For 2008, the trimming of models left the Ralliart as the only V6 model, and the Galant skips the 2008 model year in Canada, only to return in 2009 with the facelifted model. Mitsubishi also assembles and markets a modified version of the ninth-generation Galant in Taiwan [ 14 ] . Taiwan was one of the first regions outside the Americas to market the vehicle, when the Galant Grunder (now known simply as Grunder ) was launched in December 2004 with a unique front end. In addition, this model is also sold in the Philippines as the Galant 240M using the 2.4 liter MIVEC engine. [ 15 ] It is also sold in China. [ 16 ] A localized version called the 380 was manufactured in Australia for the Australia-New Zealand market, replacing the long-lived Magna line. [ edit ] Facelifts The Galant received a new grille for the 2007 model year, and for the 2009 model year, the Galant receives another facelift, with new front and rear fascias. Mexico did receive the 2009 Mitsubishi Galant, however there is a temporary hiatus for the 2010 model year; for North America , the 2010 model year is sold only in the United States and Canada . 2007-2008 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart 2009 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart 2009 Mitsubishi Galant A 4-cylinder Sport Edition was added for the 2009 model year. Galant Sport models include new standard factory value packages as standard. Sportronic automatic transmission is standard in all models, with a 4-speed for 4-cylinder engines and a 5-speed for V-6 engines. Four-cylinder Galant models sold in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont are certified as Partial Zero-Emissions Vehicles (PZEV), with engine rated 155 hp (116 kW). [ 17 ] Osamu Masuko, the CEO of Mitsubishi Motors, indicated that the ninth generation of the Galant would be the last to be manufactured in North America, replaced on the MMNA production line in Illinois by smaller vehicles which are more likely to appeal to export markets.

Originally introduced to comply with the new Group A regulations of the World Rally Championship , it was soon superseded as Mitsubishi's competition vehicle by the Lancer Evolution , and subsequently developed into a high-performance showcase of the company's technology.

The Lancer 1600 GSR and Pajero/Montero/Shogun both achieved great success in rallying and Rally Raid events, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and eventually the company planned an attempt on the Group B class of the World Rally Championship with a four-wheel drive version of its Starion coupé. However, the class was outlawed following several fatal accidents in 1986 and '87, and Mitsubishi was forced to reassess its approach. It instead homologated the recently-introduced sixth generation of its Galant sedan for the Group A class, using the mechanical underpinnings from its aborted Starion prototype. Between 1988 and '92, it was campaigned by the official factory outfit, Mitsubishi Ralliart Europe , winning three events in the hands of Mikael Ericsson (1989 1000 Lakes Rally ), [ 3 ] Pentti Airikkala (1989 Lombard RAC Rally ) [ 4 ] and Kenneth Eriksson (1991 Swedish Rally ). [ 5 ] It was also driven to outright victory in the Asia-Pacific Rally Championships by Kenjiro Shinozuka (1988) and Ross Dunkerton (1991–92), and the American National GT Championship (1992) by Tim O'Neil . [ 6 ] However, Mitsubishi — and their competitors — realised that the WRC cars of the '80s were simply too big and ungainly for the tight, winding roads of rally stages. Ford migrated the Sierra/Sapphire Cosworth to a smaller Escort -based bodyshell; Subaru developed the Impreza to succeed their Legacy ; and Toyota eventually replaced the Celica coupe with the Corolla . Mitsubishi, meanwhile, carried the VR-4's engine/transmission over to the new Lancer Evolution , bringing to an end the Galant's representation in MMC's motorsport efforts. [ edit ] Sixth generation (E38A/E39A) 6th generation Production 1987–1992 Assembly Nagoya plant, Okazaki, Aichi Body style(s) 4-door sedan 5-door hatchback Layout Front engine , four-wheel drive Engine(s) 1997 cc DOHC 16v I4 , turbo Transmission(s) Four-wheel drive , 4-speed automatic 5-speed manual Group A regulations dictated a turbocharged engine of 2.0  L displacement and a four-wheel drive transmission. In order to satisfy the mandatory minimum sales requirements of 5,000 units, Mitsubishi made it available in North America , New Zealand , Australia , Japan , and other Asian Pacific Rim territories, with 2,000 reaching the United States in 1991, and 1000 units imported in 1992. [ 7 ] In road-going trim the four-door sedan produced up to 177 kW (241 PS; 237 hp) depending on market, giving the car a top speed of over 130 mph (210 km/h) and allowing it to accelerate from 0-60 in 7.3 seconds, with a quarter mile elapsed time of 15.3 seconds. This car also featured power-assisted speed-sensitive four-wheel steering: the rear wheels steered in the same phase as the front wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h), up to 1.5 degrees. A liftback version was also produced, known as the Eterna ZR-4 . This had some minor cosmetic differences, but mechanically was the same as the VR-4 sedan.

The existing, proven 4WD transmission was carried over, in keeping with Mitsubishi's reputation for performance-enhancing technology, but the old straight-4 was superseded by a smoother twin-turbo 2.0 L V6, and mated either to a conventional 5-speed manual , or a 4-speed INVECS auto complete with " fuzzy logic ", which allowed the transmission to adapt to the driver's style and road conditions "on the fly". It was capable of dispatching the 0-60 sprint in about 6.5 seconds, and if derestricted could reach about 140 mph (230 km/h). Variants of this car using the same engine/drivetrain were sold in Japan as the Eterna XX-4 liftback (1992) and Galant Sports GT liftback (1994–96).

The engine capacity was enlarged substantially to 2.5 L, which pushed the power up by 15 percent to the Japanese voluntary limit of 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp). The car was now capable of over 150 mph (240 km/h) when derestricted. In average road conditions and 98RON petrol, it could accelerate from 0-100kmh (0-62mph) in about 6 seconds, however private sources claim that with petrol containing RON levels above 100, the Type-V manual (the lightest of the group at 1'520kg) could achieve 0-100kmh times in under 6 seconds. The Type-V model could be specified with either the existing 5-speed manual or the optional INVECS-II , which was now an advanced self-learning 5-speed semi-auto based on Porsche 's Tiptronic transmission, while the Type-S model offered the optional Active Yaw Control (AYC). This complex rear diff was first seen on the Lancer Evo IV , and used an array of sensors to detect and quell oversteer , giving the ultimate VR-4 great agility for a vehicle of its size and weight. From 1998 onwards however, Active yaw control was no longer available with manual transmission. A Super VR-4 variant was sold on both the Galant sedan and the Legnum wagon, with only cosmetic changes such as Recaro front seats and Momo steering wheel. With the eighth generation of the Galant, Mitsubishi introduced a station wagon (known in many markets as the Legnum ) to replace the old 5-door hatchback , and the VR-4 was now available in both body styles. North America and Europe were again denied this model, but the burgeoning grey import trade meant that it developed a cult following in several overseas territories, especially the United Kingdom and New Zealand . In 2000 MMC's motorsport partner Ralliart was contracted to type-approve Galants and Lancers for UK sales, and 200 VR-4s were officially imported before production finally ceased two years later.

At the 2006 Chicago Auto Show Mitsubishi North America debuted the " Galant Ralliart ", but this was a US-market vehicle powered by the 191 kW (260 PS; 256 hp) version of the naturally-aspirated 6G75 3.8 L V6 from the Eclipse GT . [ 16 ] The Galant VR-4 has most likely been consigned to history, obsoleted by marketing (rally-derived technology is now restricted to the Lancer Evo model), motorsport regulations (the adoption of World Rally Cars by the WRC negates the need for road-going homologation specials), and ever-stricter economy and emissions legislation. The Ralliart version joined for 2007, finally upgrading the V6 to a class-competitive 258 horsepower (192 kW) while also adding a firmer suspension, front strut tower bar, rear stabilizer bar, and 18-inch (460 mm) alloy wheels. For 2008, the trimming of models left the Ralliart as the only V6 model, and the Galant skips the 2008 model year in Canada, only to return in 2009 with the facelifted model.

Browse Mitsubishi cars by type If you are unsure what car you want then select a type of car from the options on the right. Body types descriptions explained Saloon Hatchback Family/MPV 4x4 Convertible Luxury Van Estate Sport/Coupe What DesperateSeller says about Mitsubishi used cars Mitsubishi has probably been best known for its 4x4 efforts down the years. The Shogun, L200 pick-up and, of course, the rally-bred Lancer Evolution dynasty are all creations that have captured the UK public's imagination. Used car buyers can expect sturdy mechanicals and decent reliability from the brand and these days, there's more to Mitsubishi than all-wheel-drive too. Those looking to buy a used Mitsubishi are usually attracted by the 4x4s. The Shogun is a big family 4x4 that can deliver the goods off-road but is less polished on it. The Outlander is a compact 4x4 that's far more composed through the corners and will still do more than most people need it to in the rough. Second hand car buyers willing to venture a little further back in time might also come across the diminutive Shogun Pinin or the Shogun Sport, another big family 4x4 that's based upon the L200 pick-up. Used second hand versions of the L200 itself remain popular for their versatility. The Lancer Evolution models are understandably sought-after: there are few more capable performance cars around for equivalent money. The numerous different generations and special editions can be a minefield but there isn't really a duffer amongst them. The turbocharged engines are extremely strong but insurance and running costs for used cars will be high. More run of the mill Mitsubishi efforts include the Colt (a dependable pre-owned supermini), the Grandis (an attractively-styled and unusually sporty MPV) and the i (a quirky and economical citycar).
