Mitsubishi Galant 2004-2012 Specifications

The 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant offers three engine options: a 2.4L I4 producing 160 hp and 157 lb-ft of torque, a 3.8L V6 with 230 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.4L I4 MIVEC engine with 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque. The V6 provides higher performance and acceleration, while the MIVEC engine offers improved fuel efficiency and smoother power delivery.

The Galant comes with either a 4-speed automatic transmission for the 2.4L I4 engine or a 5-speed automatic transmission for the 3.8L V6 and 2.4L MIVEC engines. The 5-speed automatic offers smoother shifts and better fuel efficiency compared to the 4-speed.

Standard safety features include dual front airbags, ABS, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional features include side-impact airbags, a stability control system, and a rearview camera.

The 2.4L I4 engine achieves 20-21 mpg city and 27-28 mpg highway, while the 3.8L V6 gets 16-17 mpg city and 25-26 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with mid-size sedans like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camara from the same era.

Mitsubishi recommends oil changes every 7,500 miles, tire rotations every 5,000 miles, and comprehensive inspections every 15,000 miles. Brake fluid should be replaced every 30,000 miles, and the timing belt every 60,000 miles for V6 models.

Standard features include power windows, keyless entry, and a CD player. Higher trims offer leather seats, a sunroof, a Rockford Fosgate audio system, and navigation. The V6 models include sport-tuned suspension for enhanced handling.

The Galant offers 101.6 cubic feet of passenger space and 13.3 cubic feet of trunk space. This is comparable to the Honda Accord (101.9 cubic feet passenger, 14.7 cubic feet trunk) and Toyota Camry (102.7 cubic feet passenger, 15.0 cubic feet trunk).

The Galant is not rated for towing. Payload capacity varies by trim but is approximately 900-1,000 lbs, including passengers and cargo.
