Overview

The Galant is a competent midsize sedan that offers high level safety along with great looks, comfort and impressive performance. The 2010 Mitsubishi Galant has more standard features, more technology and more creature comforts. It is available in two well equipped trims - ES and the new SE.

Power and performance

A revised 160-hp 2.4-liter MIVEC four-cylinder engine, teamed with a standard four-speed Sportronic automatic transmission, supplies power to both Galant ES and SE models. The already efficient engine has now been further refined to deliver a refined highway fuel economy rating of 30 MPG.
