1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant: Technical Specifications

Powering the current-generation Galant are a pair of frisky 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engines. In 1994, Galant S, ES, and LS were introduced with a single overhead-camshaft engine that made 141 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 148 pound-feet of torque at 3000 rpm. A 5-speed manual is standard on the S, with the 4-speed automatic being optional. On up-level ES and LS models a 4-speed automatic was standard. The GS model came standard with a double overhead-camshaft version of the 2.4-liter engine that made 160 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 160 pound-feet of torque at 6250 rpm. It was available with either the 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Mitsubishi fully intended to offer a Chrysler-supplied V6 for the Galant during the 1995 model year, so the company dropped the more powerful 4-cylinder from production. However, financial sense dictated otherwise. Consequently, a V6 for the Galant will not arrive until a new body style makes its debut in time for the 1999 model year. For 1997 the Galant received a minor boost in horsepower--up to 143 from 141. Torque remained constant at 148 pound-feet.
