Mitsubishi launched the seventh generation of the Galant at the 1992 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, and at the beginning of 1993, unveiled the five-door hatchback at the Dutch Motor Show.
Unlike its predecessor, which was built on the fifth-generation platform, the seventh iteration of this model was created from scratch. Thus, the automaker got rid of older technical limitations allowing it to make a much better car in terms of running costs, performance, and look.
At the front, the car sported a split front fascia adorned in the middle by 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. In the five-door configuration, Mitsubishi used the same rear door panels but with different windows and frames. At the back, the sloped-down tailgate ended the vehicle with a sporty, coupe-like shape.
Inside, the Galant's seventh generation was very spacious. The rear passengers had enough legroom thanks to the longer wheelbase than its predecessor. Yet, the split-folding 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.
Mitsubishi installed a wide engine range for the Galant, depending on the market. Unlike its four-door sedan sibling, the Liftback bodywork was not available in the VR4 version.
