Vehicle Highlights
Galant grows from compact to midsize dimensions in a 2004 redesign that brings new styling and more power. DE and ES models retain a 2.4-liter 4-cyl engine, but gain 20 hp. The LS and sporty GTS have a 3.8-liter V6 with 35 hp more than Galant's previous 3.0 V6. A 4-speed automatic is the sole transmission; V6 models include a manual shift gate. All Galants have 4-wheel disc brakes, keyless entry, and power windows/locks/mirrors. V6 versions come with ABS, which is available for the ES. The GTS has a sport-tuned suspension, specific grille, rear spoiler, leather upholstery, and sunroof. It also includes 17-inch alloy wheels vs. the other models' 16-inch steel wheels. Front side airbags are standard for GTS and available for LS and ES. Curtain side airbags are unavailable. Against the 1999-2003 Galant, the '04 grows 4.6 inches in wheelbase, 2.6 in overall length, 3.9 in width, and 2.2 in height. Galant lends its platform to Mitsubishi's Endeavor midsize SUV.
