MITSUBISHI Galant 1993-1997 Photos, engines & full specs

Mitsubishi introduced the seventh generation of the Galant at the 1992 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, and the evolution was evident.

When Mitsubishi started to draw the new model, it started from a blank sheet of paper, and that was not an overstatement. Gone were the unusual proportions of its predecessor, and the new model really showed like a mature model.

At the front, the car sported a split front fascia adorned in the middle by a narrower section and a vertical slat that supported the three-diamond badge. Its slim and wide headlights made the grille look mostly like nostrils. The primary cooling area was on the lower side of the bumper, where the automaker installed a broad, two-slat air intake. The sedan looked more like a pillar-less vehicle from its side since the B-pillar was concealed by more expansive windows and black trims. At the back, the trunk lid hosted a part of the taillights, creating a visual image of a wider vehicle.

Inside, Mitsubishi offered a spacious cabin for a mid-size sedan. The rear passengers had enough legroom thanks to the longer wheelbase than its predecessor. Yet, the bench was fit mostly for two occupants due to the tall transmission tunnel. In addition, the driver was spoiled with ample room and a clean layout for the center stack. On the safety side, the seventh generation of the Galant was also available with side bags.

Under the hood, the Japanese carmaker introduced a wide engine range with either four-cylinder or V6 powerplants. The top-of-the-range VR4 offered a sporty two-liter powerplant derived from the rally-spec engine and all-wheel drive system. Last but not least, all versions benefited from the multi-link independent suspension system in all corners, a first for an FWD car.
