The new Galant was first unveiled at the New York Auto Show. It was built on the PS platform (the so-called “Project America”). The car began to be produced in a single sedan body. Its appearance was radically different from its predecessor, now it was no longer a predatory “shark”, but a calm middle-class car, the interior design of which echoed the Toyota Camry.

Transmissions – five-speed manual or one of the “automatic”: four- (model INVECS II) or five-band.

A special series Mitsubishi Galant Grunder (later simply Grunder) has been manufactured and sold in Taiwan since 2004, and also supplied to the Philippines and China. In the latter, it was called the Galant 240M and was equipped with a 2.4-liter MIVEC series engine.
Unfortunately, demand for the car did not meet the manufacturer’s expectations, and Mitsubishi decided to first cut production (including in favor of the more popular Lancer and Outlander models). In 2012, production of the Galant was completely discontinued, and no replacement was developed for the car.
