Mitsubishi Introduces Revised 2010 Galant Line, Including The Updated And Value Packed SE Model
Featuring expressive styling and advanced user technology, the Mitsubishi Galant sets a new standard for value and reliability.The 2010 Galant line is different for a reason wîth two distinct trim levels, both feature-packed to provide the premium value that midsize buyers are lòòking for. The Galant is available in ES and SE trims, both powered by an efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The MIVEC four-cylinder engine has been revised for the 2010 model year and now shows an improved highway fuel economy rating of 30 MPG. All 2010 Galant models come standard wîth a four-speed Sportronic® automatic transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Also standard is a host of handling aids for improved driver control during all situations, including anti-lock brakes (ABS) wîth electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), traction control (TCL), and Active Stability Control (ASC).
For 2010, the Galant SE comes standard wîth the Navigation & Rear Camera package. Adding value to the SE's already impressive list of features, this package includes a 7-inch LCD touch panel Mitsubishi multi communication system wîth DVD-based navigation. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Also included in the package are Mitsubishi Diamond Lane Guidance and a rearview back up camera system.
The Galant midsize sedans, along wîth the Eclipse coupe and Eclipse Spyder sports models and the Endeavor crossover SÚV, are all built in the Mitsubishi manufacturing plant in Normal, Ill. One of the 's most flexible assembly plants, the Mitsubishi manufacturing facility is proudly celebrating its 22nd anniversary of vehicle production in 2010.Smart Mitsubishi Styling
The 2010 Galant stands apart from the sedan crowd wîth a smartly styled front end and sophisticated lines that are especially apparent in the rear three-quarter view. A silver painted mesh front grille has been added for improved aerodynamics and sharper, more upscale looks. Standard on both Galant models are color-keyed grip-type door handles, rear window defroster, color-keyed dual power side view mirrors, and a glass antenna. New standard 18-inch alloy wheels, color-keyed rear spoiler, and chrome exhaust finisher identify the Galant SE model.

Performance and Top Safety in One PackageA revised 160-hp 2.4-liter MIVEC four-cylinder engine, teamed to a standard four-speed Sportronic automatic transmission, powers both the Galant ES and SE models. The already efficient engine has been further refined for 2010 to produce a refined highway fuel economy rating of 30 MPG.
Four-cylinder Galant models sold in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont are certified as Partial Zero-Emissions Vehicles (PZEV). That means that they not only meet the ultra-stringent California Super Low Emission Vehicles (SÚLEV) standard but also have zero evaporative emissions from the fuel system and come wîth an extended (15 years or 150,000 miles) warranty on emission-control components. The PZEV-certified Galant has just slightly less rated power output – 155 hp compared to 160 for the federally certified model. PZEV-certified vehicles can also be purchased in states neighboring those wîth the requirement.
The Galant's rigid body structure sets the stage for responsive handling and a sporty driving experience, balanced by a smooth, quiet ride. The proven MacPherson strut design front suspension attaches to a sub-frame featuring a large, rigid cross member. The SE model features a standard front strut tower bar. The low-mounted, multi-link rear suspension features stiff hydro-formed cross members that minimize flex and help reduce road noise inside the cabin.
All Galant models come standard wîth a high level of safety technology, including anti-lock brakes (ABS) wîth electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), traction control (TCL), Active Stability Control (ASC), dual-stage front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and side front and rear curtain airbags. Standard convenience and security features include an engine immobilizer and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which can immediately alert the driver to a sudden loss or change in tire pressure. New Value Standard
Illustrating Mitsubishi's attention to customer value, the Galant ES models are equipped as standard wîth such premium features as power windows and door locks, 6-way manually adjustable driver's seat, and cruise control. Additional premium features in the Galant SE include an automatic climate control system, 8-way power driver's seat, sport-wrapped §teering wheel wîth audio controls, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, parabolic fog lights, chrome exhaust finisher, theft-deterrent alarm system, color-keyed rear lip spoiler, front strut tower bar, and an illuminated glove box.
The Galant SE model also adds a standard 650-watt Rockford Acoustic Design™ premium audio system that includes SIRIÚS® Satellite Radio wîth a 3-month pre-paid subscription.
Adding premium features and increased value for 2010, the Galant SE now comes standard wîth the Navigation & Rear Camera package. Featuring technology usually found in more expensive competitors, this package adds to the SE's already impressive value wîth a 7-inch LCD touch panel Mitsubishi multi communication system wîth DVD-based navigation. (posted on conceptcarz.com) Also included in the package are Mitsubishi Diamond Lane Guidance and a rear view back up camera system.True Premium Audio
With an improved interior sound insulation, Galant offers a level of OEM mobile audio performance that could challenge some luxury models. The Rockford Acoustic Design™ premium audio system that is standard for the SE model provides AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback capability, including a 6-disc in-dash CD changer. The system includes SIRIÚS® Satellite Radio wîth a 3-month pre-paid subscription. Both Galant models now feature an auxiliary input jack for playback from an iPod or MP3 player.

The Galant name has been used by Mitsubishi Motors for a number of years, beginning in 1969. The name is a derivative of the French word 'gallan', meaning valiant. When first introduced, it was a compact sedan only sold in Japan; it has since evolved slowly into a larger mid-sized vehicle and sold in many countries.
In December of 1969, the Galant, initially known as the Colt Galant, was introduced. Under the hood was a 1.3-liter engine; an optional 1.5-liter unit was also available. It was available as a four-door sedan only; a two-door hardtop version was introduced a year later, in 1970. The design of the vehicle was dubbed by Mitsubishi as 'Dynawedge', in reference to the vehicles aerodynamics and wedge-shaped silhouette.
In 1971 it was offered for sale in the US, making it the first Mitsubishi model to be sold in the US. The car was imported by the Chrysler Corporation, and renamed the Dodge Colt. The Galant GTO fastback coupe quickly followed, introduced in 1970, and aimed at the performance-minded American population. This model remained in production until 1975.
The second iteration of the Galant was introduced in 1973. Chrysler sold the car in the United States under the nameplate 'Dodge Colt.' In Canada, the car was known as the Plymouth Colt and Plymouth Cricket. In Europe the car was sold as the Colt Galant and in Australia it was called the Chrysler Valiant Galant.
This second generation Galant brought with it styling changes that included a more curvaceous body. It was offered as a 2-door coupe and a four-door sedan. Under the hood was a Astron engine that developed around 125 PS.
Production of the second generation Galant continued until 1975. In 1976, third iteration of the Galant was introduced. It was known as the Galant S (Sigma). The Dodge Colt name persisted in America; in Australia it was dubbed the Chrysler Sigma; in most other export markets it was known as the Galant.
This third generation of the Galant was available in four-door sedan configuration and as a five-door station wagon. A variety of engines were offered, included a 1.6-, 1.85-, 2.0-, and 2.6-liter.
In 1977, the Galant was named South Africa's 'Car of the Year' award.
The fourth generation of the Galant was introduced in 1980 and remained in production for only a few years, lasting until 1983. It brought with it many new and necessary improvements and innovations. The big news was the turbocharged engine which greatly increased the vehicles performance. A diesel version of the engine was also available, which offered great gas mileage.
In 1981, it was claimed as New Zealands 'Car of the Year.'
From 1984 through 1990, the fifth generation of the Galant was produced. The big change for this series was the change from rear-wheel drive configuration, to front-wheel drive. The styling was improved, now featuring edgy lines. The GL trim had a 1.6-liter engine; the GLS had a 2.0-liter petrol or 1.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine.
The 2.0-liter ECi, meaning Advanced Electronically Controlled fuel injection, was the performance version of the Galant. ABS and servo-steering system was offered as optional equipment, as was the digital dash.
The sixth generation of the Galant shared the same platform as the series it was replacing. Styling changed, now becoming more round and less 'edgy.' Japan awarded ti the 'Car of the Year' in 1987, and Motor Trend hailed it as the 'Import Car of the Year' in 1989.
The car was powered by a variety of engines, beginning with a 1.6-liter unit and climaxing with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produced nearly 200 horsepower. The base gearbox was a five-speed manual unit, with a four-speed automatic offered as optional equipment. 4WD could also be purchased for the vehicle.
This version of the Galant was the first to see the VR-4 variant, which would become Mitsubishi's entrant in the World Rally Championship series from 1988 through 1992. Later, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution would adopt the 2-liter DOHC turbocharged engine and 4WD layout.
The seventh generation of the Galant was introduced in 1992, coming to the US in 1994, and remaining in production until 1998. The nameplate 'Galant' was now a familiar name, having been in production for many years and sold throughout the world. Power was from a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A four-speed automatic was still available for an additional cost.
The next generation had minor aesthetic changes from the prior series. New for this series was the station wagon; the liftback was no longer available. Production of the eight-generation Galant lasted from 1996 through 2006. The car had now evolved into a mid-sized vehicle, with power coming from four and six cylinder engines. There were 1.8, 2.0, and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. In the V6 category, there were 2.5, and 3.0-liter displacement sizes, with a twin-turbocharger being offered as optional equipment.
The ninth generation of the Galant was introduced in 2003 at the New York International Auto Show. It was set for production the following year and available to only a few markets, including North America, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates.
