SelectBrowse ListingsMitsubishi's mid-size Galant sedan has been given a thorough facelift--including a completely new front and rear appearance--and a revamped lineup of features for 2009, although it's basically the same size and proportions as the model it replaces.
SelectBrowse ListingsMitsubishi dropped the SE and GTS trims on the 2008 Galant sedan, and a tire pressure monitor is now standard equipment across the model range. Otherwise, the vehicle continues without any major changes.

Now all Galants get a Sportronic automatic with manual shifting capability. Mitsubishi dropped the LS V6 trim and added a higher performance Ralliart edition. Prices are up about $700 on the four-cylinder Galants and about $2,000 up on the V6s.

The 2000 Galant offered a few new standard features and optional CD player, cruise control and larger tires, with several new body colors made available. In 2001, Mitsubishi added traction control, heated mirrors and an all-weather package as options. A revamped interior and exterior graced the 2002 model year, with a new LS model that offered an array of options like remote entry with trunk-opening.
The carmaker also modified the gauge cluster, and offered new 16 wheels for the GTZ and LS models. Nominal changes were made to various trims for the 2003 model, with optional powered sunroof and traction control as well as an Infinity sound system. A newly designed and wider Galant made its entrance in 2004, redesigned to better compete with rival carmakers. Side impact air bags made their debut in the Galant for 2005, as did heating ducts in the floor (rear) and a new blackwood trim in the GTS model.
The car would carry through 2006 with subtle updates, but received a new grille, new bumpers and a revamped interior for 2007. In 2008, a few trims were removed with some shuffling of optional equipment between the remaining trims. Sexy new tail lamps and a new grille graced the 2009 Galant, with minor changes being made to the trims and options. In 2010, the V6 engine option was dropped, with all models only offering a four-cylinder engine. The Galant would make it through 2011 and 2012 relatively unchanged.
