2006 Mitsubishi Galant: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Mitsubishi's midsize sedan offers 4-cyl DE and ES models, and V6 LS and sporty GTS versions. The only transmission is a 4-speed automatic; V6 models add a manual shift gate. All come with front side airbags, 4-wheel disc brakes, keyless entry, and power windows/locks/mirrors. Antilock brakes are standard on all but DE, where they're unavailable. GTS features sport-tuned suspension, specific grille, rear spoiler, leather upholstery, and sunroof. It also has 17-inch wheels vs. other models' 16s. Galant lends its platform to Mitsubishi's Endeavor midsize SUV.
