Mitsubishi Galant


The big news from Mitsubishi is an all-new mid-size Galant, bigger in every dimension than its predecessor. It’s also more powerful, thanks to a 160-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 230-hp, 3.8-liter V-6, both of which come mated to a four-speed automatic. The Lancer lineup gets fresh front and rear styling, a five-door wagon, and a couple of fresh faces—the 162-hp Ralliart sedan and Sportback wagon. Rumors of a lightweight, stripped-down version of the Lancer Evolution have been swirling, and the car could make it stateside early next year. The immortal Diamante rolls on with a new front fascia and grille.

The Endeavor, Mitsu’s mid-size SUV that shares the new Galant’s platform and V-6 and four-speed powertrain, features a four-wheel independent suspension and available full-time four-wheel drive. The compact Outlander gets a power boost courtesy of a 160-hp, 2.4-liter engine. The Montero Sport drops its 3.0-liter V-6 and two trim levels, replaced by a 3.5-liter V-6 in LS and XLS trim.

Unchanged: Eclipse, Eclipse spyder, Montero.
