The current Mitsubishi Galant - not so much a Japanese car as an American one - is completely unnecessary for Europe. In Europe, no one is waiting for Galant, but we (in the automotive sense), although not America, but certainly not Europe. Remembering the still beloved previous generations of Mitsubishi Galant, which we drove, we drive, and will continue to drive for a long time, everyone asked: "When?" Russia is an important market for Mitsubishi, and our opinion cannot be ignored. So we got what we wanted.
It is unlikely that the evaluation of the design of the 9th generation Mitsubishi Galant will be news: it (especially in the front end) is strange, incomprehensible and even simply ugly for some. A massive hump in the middle of the bonnet, an inexpressive radiator grill, but most importantly - the headlights! Headlights (where are you - the adorable squinting stripes of Mitsubishi Galant light elements of previous generations?) Have replaced some kind of quadrangles from the Volga.
One of the executives of the Mitsubishi distributor noted that so far Galant is selling slightly worse than expected. Obviously, in the first months of Russian sales, most of those who were waiting for Mitsubishi Galant (and many were waiting for him) simply did not have time to try the car on the move - which means that they only appreciated the appearance. And their appearance did not suit their taste. The design of the 9th generation Mitsubishi Galant (2004) has absolutely nothing to do with the style of the previous Mitsubishi Galant.
But they are greeted by their clothes, and seen off ... On the road, the opinion about the car becomes much better.
Firstly, a huge interior is hidden behind the controversial exterior of the car.
Secondly, all controls in Mitsubishi Galant are clear and in place; with an abundance of options, you do not feel that you are inundated with information. There are a little more buttons in the Mitsubishi Galant than in the Lancer, despite the much more modest configuration of the latter. Not too good only: too much big steering wheel and radio buttons that do not fit into the center console. Here again the designers were not up to par.
Thirdly, the car pleased us with convenient details. The main thing is: an electric driver's seat with a wide range of adjustments, clear parking sensors and a wide armrest with a spacious box.
Fourth, and this is the main thing: Mitsubishi Galant is very good on the move. The car is controlled just fine, although the steering wheel itself is not the most comfortable in girth. The engine and "box" work almost perfectly, although many will want more agility from such a machine. The moderately stiff suspension, which provides decent comfort, is good both on the straight line and in corners. Mitsubishi bites into the road, maintaining good stability on any reasonable trajectory.
But I don’t want to dash behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Galant - it’s not easy to “light up” it. The adaptive “automatic” adjusts to the driver, but does not give him extra freedom.
America saw the new Mitsubishi Galant in April 2003, while we only saw it 3 years later. Residents of the US and Canada can opt for a 3.8-liter 230-horsepower V6, while we only have a 2.4-liter 158-horsepower unit. The new Mitsubishi Galant was almost entirely developed in the States and for the States: design in California, technology in Michigan, assembly in Illinois. It is not hard to guess what country Mitsubishi residents were seen sitting in the driver's and passenger seats of Galant.
Bottom line: the car could be better. There could be a 3.8-liter engine under the hood and mechanical transmission, novice drivers would love the ESP system. And the Japanese could also entrust the design to their own specialists. But how long would it take to prepare such a Mitsubishi Galant, and will we need it this way?
Prices on Mitsubishi Galant of the 9th generation in 2007 on the Russian market start at 757 thousand rubles.

Released back in 2003 and not reissued for a relatively long time, Mitsubishi Galant 9 is still quite in demand, especially for Russian buyers. Despite being headquartered in Japan and manufacturing in the United States, it is Russian market was one of the main consumers of Mitsubishi products, and you can still often find ninth generation cars on our roads.
The American version of Galant, which always came out with the base DE (as in the west they call big cars for the whole family), also had additional modifications: LS, ES and a sports GTS.
The main characteristics of all models are preserved, the difference is only minor cosmetic changes:
- grade LS equipped with an electric drive to the chair, six airbags and full power accessories;
- sports version of the GTS it has a more powerful engine and climate control, when, like the others, they are content with only air conditioning;
- ES has an improved design and different painting.
After restyling, the GTS package was replaced by the SE version with a modified shape of the rear optics.
But DE remains the main model, everything comes from its characteristics, and the demand for it is greatest.
2 complete sets were delivered to Russia:
- 2.4 Instyle-AT;
- 2.4 Intense-AT.
Engines and gearbox
Mitsubishi have always been known for their iron, not appearance car. In the ninth version of Galant, everything remains the same as before, the quality does not disappoint. All models have 4 cylinders in the engine, they differ only in volume:
- on DE and ES there is a 2.4-liter aspirated, output - 150 liters. with.;
- on the LS and the sporty GTS - 3.8 liters, but the output is different - 230 liters. s and 260 l. with.
The 3.8-liter unit is especially good, but it is quite difficult to find it in Russia. Of the minuses, you have to check and tighten the valve clearances a couple of times a month, although they hold better than some competitors. Oil may also leak from the candles, it is not difficult to eliminate this on your own.
The motor is good, but it is designed for a specific gearbox. The assault rifle does not give much freedom to maneuver. Although it will not work to get up tricks on it, it is an ideal option for an amateur or a family man. In addition, the automatic machine, coupled with the engine, will allow you to regulate and even reduce fuel consumption.
Galant grunder
A year after the release of Mitsubishi Galant 9, in 2004, the same company produces Galant Grunder.
Grunder is more focused on domestic market, and in Russia it is not so popular because of the higher price. But the price has definitely been worked out - the design has been completely changed, sharpened for Japan, it is pleasant, it will not seem strange to the Russian eye:
- the colors and quality of painting have been changed;
- there is a wider choice of colors;
- interior changed - seats, covered in leather, surrounded by chrome and wood.
Of the minuses - the power of the 2.4-liter engine is not much changed - 165 hp. with. The old machine gun remained, although some control flaws were corrected.
Despite the maximum degree of protection shown in the report of the US Department of Highway Safety, this car was too expensive for even middle-income American families.
Advantages and disadvantages
Design and appearance has never been the most important aspect of the Mitsubishi Galant 9. People have always bought cars for build quality and convenience. Looking ahead: the latest generation does not deviate from the canons of the entire line, but there are some differences.
- It is well assembled big car, with a voluminous body and spacious salon.
- Heat problems are not felt in it due to the good location of the air conditioner that blows and rear seats.
- In the driver's seat, everything is just as good - comfortable control, an electric seat.
The only drawback is a large number of buttons, which will have to be dealt with for some time, but this will not be difficult for experienced drivers.
Galant 9 feels great on the road. A heavy landing and an automatic will prevent the car from skidding, and if you are not a brand new Schumacher, this is the perfect choice. And you won't have to spend too much fuel on a long road - gas mileage is low due to the not very powerful engine.
It's easy to get used to the location of the buttons and their number, but getting used to the huge steering wheel is difficult. It is clearly not designed for a woman's hand, and even a man may find it uncomfortable. To match the steering wheel, the same inconvenient radio buttons are difficult to reach, and the design generally kills this desire.
Prices
Unfortunately, the 9th generation Galant did not live up to expectations, and in 2012 the car's output was suspended. If you really want to get it, it's worth looking at secondary market.
Here are the approximate prices from online stores.
Mitsubishi Galant 10
Galantas of the ninth generation sold worse than the cars of the previous generation. It is not for nothing that the Mitsubishi Galant 9 was restyled twice, although the technical data remained almost unchanged.
The Mitsubishi Galant 10 was slated for release a few years after the 2008 revamp, but something hasn't come together. However, it is too early to bury the brand - in 2015, the release of old models began again, and the development of new ones is also possible.
Mitsubishi Galant 9 is a high-quality, albeit controversial in terms of design, car. However, the hardware completely pays for its money. Another thing is that the car is not suitable for everyone - in places it is sedentary and heavy, it is hardly suitable for women.
were considered sports sedans, which can not only transfer the whole family, but also deliver driving pleasure. Mitsubishi Galant 9 was created specifically for the American market, a real failure was that in the North American market, which marketers were counting on, the new Galant was sold three times worse than the eighth. In the United States, Galant, in its ninth reincarnation, was presented at the end of 2003; the car was assembled in the American city of Normal, in the state of Illinois. The machine was created on the PS platform, which stands for "Project America", (State - states). After a commercial failure in the United States, two years later, in 2006 big sedan began to be supplied to the CIS markets. Cars supplied to the CIS countries have 308 differences from American women.
Appearance:
The dimensions of the last Mitsubishi Galant are much larger than those of the previous model, the car has added as much as 23.5 cm in length, in size this car can even be compared with, and. Recall that the ninth generation was produced only in the sedan body. Despite the apparent massiveness, the drag coefficient of Mitsubishi is 0.31, which is very good. The side mirrors are heated as standard. The design was created in the California design studio Mitsubishi and Akinori Nakanishi, the talented designer who painted the eighth Mitsubishi Galant did not deal with the ninth generation of the model, but later it was he who painted the tenth generation. 
During production, changes were made to the appearance of the machine, taillights became "elongated", and not "square" as before, the radiator grill has also changed, which after the update has lost its "beak". In the basic equipment, the sedan stands on wheels with a radius of sixteen inches, which are fitted with 215/60 tires. Note that a similar move to reorient family sedans with a sporty character to business-class sedans was also made by Subaru, with the latter.
Salon:
The salon is also a dignity of the ninth generation Galant, because in terms of space it is comparable to business sedans and surpasses in interior space and. Wheel It has a mechanical tilt angle adjustment, the steering wheel in Galant is not adjustable for reach. 
The basic equipment of Intense includes a multifunction steering wheel with buttons for controlling the audio system and cruise control, respectively, the equipment includes the cruise control itself and an audio system with six columns and a servo drive for all glasses. Expensive Instyle equipment includes: leather seats, driver's seat servos, a power sunroof and an expensive Rockford Fosgate audio system with eight speakers and a subwoofer, the system power is 650W. For safety, there are six airbags that are provided as standard equipment and seat belt pretensioners. In the American NHTSA safety test, Mitsubishi scored five stars - the highest rating. The rear sofa is wide, but it is shaped for two, the average passenger, when the car hits a bump, can reach the ceiling with his head. Due to the 11.5 cm wheelbase increased in comparison with the previous Mitsubishi Galant, the rear has become more spacious. Despite the increased dimensions, the volume of the trunk has decreased from 470 to 435 liters, but under the Galant raised floor there is a full-size spare wheel.
Technical part and characteristics of Mitsubishi Galant
For Mitsubishi Galant intended for the CIS, it is offered reliable engine 2.4l. The 4G69 four-cylinder engine is equipped with a MIVEC variable valve timing system and ECI - MULTI distributed injection. The motor develops 158hp and 213NM of torque. For the Russian and Ukrainian markets, only the automatic transmission Invecs 2 is provided. The transmission has a manual mode and is able to adapt to the driver's driving style. The 2.4 engine is known for Outlander, its advantage is the absence of the GDI injection system, which does not like domestic gasoline too much. Power unit equipped with an automatic octane correction system, which allows you to drive on 92 gasoline.
Once every 20,000 - 30,000, the nozzles should be flushed and the spark plugs replaced. Replacing the timing belt along with the rollers for Galant should be carried out no later than a run of 90 thousand. There are known cases of radiator leakage, which is not always possible to eliminate, and a new one costs $ 800.
On the US market, a modification was offered with a V6 for 233 and 258 hp, which is known from the Pajero model, but in the CIS, the "six" was not officially supplied.
The front suspension Galant is made according to the McPherson scheme, a multi-link is installed at the back. By European standards, the suspension is soft and allows for some swing on the asphalt waves. The disadvantage of the model can be called the fact that ESP (electronic stabilization system) is absent even as an additional equipment.

Feature Videos Mitsubishi car Galant 9:

However, the new Galant is a modern solid car that matches its style. Even basic configuration equipped with benefits that are not offered in the top versions of other brands, and this is worth a lot. This car is a smart choice for the down-to-earth business person.
