Released back in 2003 and not reissued for a relatively long time, Mitsubishi Galant 9 is still quite popular, especially for Russian buyers. Despite being headquartered in Japan and manufactured in the US, it Russian market was one of the main consumers of Mitsubishi products, and you can still often find ninth generation cars on our roads.

The American version of the Galant, which always came out with the base DE (as big cars for the whole family are called in the West), also had additional modifications: LS, ES and a sports GTS.

The main characteristics of all models are preserved, the difference is only small cosmetic changes:

  • equipment LS equipped with an electric seat, six airbags and full power accessories;
  • sports version of the GTS it has a more powerful engine and climate control, while the rest are content with only air conditioning;
  • ES has an improved design and a different painting.

After restyling, the GTS package was replaced by the SE version with a reshaped rear optics.

But the DE remains the main model, everything comes from its characteristics, and the demand for it is the greatest.

2 complete sets were delivered to Russia:

  • 2.4 Instyle-AT;
  • 2.4 Intense-AT.

Engines and gearbox

Mitsubishi has always been known for its hardware, not the appearance of the car. In the ninth version of Galant, everything remains as before, the quality will not let you down. All models have 4 cylinders in the engine, they differ only in volume:

  • on DE and ES there is a 2.4 liter aspirated, the return is 150 hp. from.;
  • on the LS and the sports GTS - 3.8 liter, but the return is different - 230 hp. with and 260 l. from.
The engines of this brand - 4G69, 6G75 - are among the best. This is one of the main reasons to take Galant 9

The 3.8-liter unit is especially good, but it is quite difficult to find it in Russia. Of the minuses - you have to check and tighten the valve clearances a couple of times a month, although they hold better than some competitors. Candle oil may also leak, it is not difficult to eliminate this on your own.

The motor is good, but it is designed for a certain gearbox. The machine does not give much freedom for maneuvering. Although it will not work to do tricks on it, it is an ideal option for an amateur or a family man. In addition, the machine, coupled with the engine, will allow you to regulate and even reduce fuel consumption.

Galant Grunder

A year after the release of the Mitsubishi Galant 9, in 2004, the same company releases the Galant Grunder.


Grunder is more focused on domestic market, but in Russia it is not so popular because of the higher price.

But the price has definitely been worked out - the design has been completely changed, sharpened for Japan, it is pleasant, it will not seem strange to the Russian eye:

  • changed colors and quality of painting;
  • there is a larger selection of colors;
  • the interior has been changed - leather-covered seats are surrounded by chrome and wood.

Of the minuses - the power of the 2.4-liter engine is not much changed - 165 hp. from. The old machine remained, although some of the flaws in the management were corrected.

Despite the maximum degree of security shown in the report of the US Department of Highway Safety, this car was too expensive even for middle-income American families.

Advantages and disadvantages

Design and appearance has never been the most important aspect of the Mitsubishi Galant 9. People have always bought cars for quality build and convenience. Looking ahead: the latest generation does not deviate from the canons of the entire line, but there are some differences.

  1. It's well put together big car, with a bulky body and spacious interior.
  2. There are no problems with heat in it due to the good location of the air conditioner, which blows and rear seats.
  3. In the driver's seat, everything is just as good - convenient control, an electric seat.

The only negative is a large number of buttons that will take some time to deal with, but experienced drivers will not be difficult.

Galant 9 feels wonderful on the road. The heavy landing and the automatic will keep the car from skidding, and if you are not a freshly minted Schumacher, this is an ideal choice. Yes, and you don’t have to spend much fuel on a long road - gasoline consumption is low due to not powerful engine.

Getting used to the location of the buttons and their number is easy, but getting used to the huge steering wheel is difficult. It is clearly not designed for a woman's hand, and a man may find it uncomfortable. To match the steering wheel, the same uncomfortable radio buttons are difficult to reach, and the design generally kills this desire.

Prices

Unfortunately, the 9th generation of Galant did not live up to expectations, and in 2012 the car was suspended. If you really want to buy it, you should look at secondary market.

Here are the approximate prices from online stores.

Mitsubishi Galant 10

The ninth generation Galant sold worse than the previous generation cars. No wonder the Mitsubishi Galant 9 was restyled twice, although the technical data remained almost unchanged.

Mitsubishi Galant 10 was scheduled for release a few years after the 2008 upgrade, but something didn't work out. However, it is too early to bury the brand - in 2015, the release of old models began again, and the development of new ones is also possible.

Mitsubishi Galant 9 is a high-quality, albeit controversial in terms of design, car. However, iron fully pays for its money. Another thing is that the car is not suitable for everyone - in some places it is inactive and overweight, it is hardly suitable for women.

Once upon a time, in the late 1980s, the Mitsubishi Galant was one of the sportiest sedans in its class. He offered thrusters rear wheels and a powerful turbocharged version - VR4. Subsequent generations have become more comfortable-oriented, and interest in the model has dropped markedly. A brief revival occurred in 1997, when the eighth Galant debuted with an attractive dynamic appearance. True, the car itself was not so interesting.

The latest Galant does not look as bold as before. It is built on the Mitsubishi PS platform - shared with the Mitsubishi Endeavor and Eclipse.

Another japanese sedan noticeably added in size, which had a positive effect on the internal dimensions. The width of the cabin has increased to 145 cm, and the space between the backs of the first and second rows - up to 94 cm. However, the rear sofa is not so spacious, but the three of us are cramped. The interior lacks higher quality materials. Plastic looks cheap, besides, over time it begins to creak.

American versions received three more trim levels in addition to the base DE: ES, LS and sporty GTS. The SE (Sport Edition) trim replaced the GTS after a facelift in 2008. At the same time, the shape of the taillights also changed.

Six airbags and full power accessories are on the DE standard equipment list. The ES version features body-coloured moldings, exterior mirrors and door handles. Modification LS acquired a driver's seat with an electric drive. Automatic climate control was installed only in the GTS, all others were equipped with conventional air conditioning. Of the assistance systems, only ABS with electronic distribution is provided. braking force(except DE). The stabilization system was not installed.

As for security, the ninth Galant, according to the US Security Administration traffic NHTSA, earned four stars. The sedan received similar ratings from the IIHS Highway Safety Insurance Institute.

Engines

Versions DE and ES were equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.4-liter naturally aspirated (4G69) with a return of 160 hp, and LS and GTS - a 3.8-liter V6 (6G75) / 230 hp. (since 2008 258 hp). The Russian Mitsubishi Galant 9 was equipped exclusively with a 158 hp petrol four. Both engines have a timing belt drive with a replacement interval of 60,000 km.

4G69 is an extremely reliable unit. Problems with it arise solely through the fault of the owner, in particular due to untimely maintenance. Unlike its predecessor - 4G64, hydraulic lifters are not provided here. Therefore, after every 100,000 km, it is necessary to adjust the valve clearance. It is carried out with the help of adjusting screws.

After 150-200 thousand km, oil may appear in the candle wells. It is easy to eliminate the leak, and about 500 rubles will be needed for a set of new gaskets. After a while, they can "suffocate" valve stem seals which increases oil consumption. For replacement, it is better to use the help of a car service.

Many owners eventually begin to notice a signaling device burning at full heat low pressure oils. It's all about the sensor itself or its contacts. In the latter case, the disease manifests itself in wet weather or during rain. Moisture gets on the connector pins. It is better to replace the sensor - from 300 rubles.

After 150-200 thousand km, the starter, generator, oxygen sensors and a clogged catalytic converter. Most likely, due to the vibrations that have appeared, it will be necessary to replace and back support engine - from 3,000 rubles.

Top versions with a 3.8-liter V6 are extremely rare in Russia and there is little information on them. The V6 is the same that was installed in the Mitsubishi Pajero IV and Endeavor. There, the engine has proven itself with positive side. True, there are isolated cases of loosening of the screws securing the dampers in the intake manifold and subsequent entry into the cylinders. And after 150-200 thousand km, due to the natural aging process, it begins to gradually fail attachments.

Transmission

Mitsubishi Galant 9 engines were aggregated only with a 4-speed automatic (F4A4B), which, in combination with the V6, provided the possibility of manual gear selection. In 2008, the V6 began to be equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The machine is very reliable. The main thing is not to forget to update the oil in the box every 60,000 km.

After 100,000 km, owners often notice the appearance of small shocks. The disease does not progress, so you should not worry. Many machines have passed 250-300 thousand km without problems and repairs. By this time, the drive seals may need to be replaced.

It is worth noting that the automatic transmission, like many machines, does not like long slips. After such "exercises" Galant is often sent to the service due to problems with the box.

Chassis

Soft suspension absorbs most road bumps. MacPherson struts work on the front axle, and a multi-link design on the rear axle. Fortunately, the chassis elements are quite hardy. Replacing silent blocks or levers may be needed only after 150-200 thousand km. But shock absorbers can leak after 100,000 km. After 100-150 thousand km, wheel bearings are often required to be replaced (from 3,000 rubles for an analogue or 12,000 rubles for an original assembly with a hub)

After 150-200 thousand km, the power steering pump may buzz. Repair is usually not worth it. Much more reliable option with a replacement. The cost of a new pump is from 13,000 rubles.

The steering rack, as an example to many modern automakers, is durable. Knocks can appear only after 200-250 thousand km, and even then, only on individual copies.

Typical problems and malfunctions

The body is not prone to corrosion. However, when examining Galant, special attention should be paid inside doors, hood and sills. Sometimes red spots are found there.

Sometimes after 100-150 thousand km there are problems with the air conditioning compressor - it starts to make noise or howl. The reason may be both in the connection coupling (from 10,000 rubles) and in the compressor itself (from 65,000 rubles). Often, a problem node can be repaired, which is much cheaper.

Conclusion

Mitsubishi Galant does not suffer from any serious illnesses. Malfunctions are usually associated with age. True, in the case of repairs, you will have to fork out a lot - new original parts are often unreasonably expensive. Fortunately, there are plenty of substitutes on the market.

Asian-made cars today overwhelm the Russian car market: affordable "Chinese" or stylish "Korean" is offered by every second car dealer. However, these cars are more like ordinary means of transportation than something more. Therefore, those who wish to purchase a quality "Asian" should pay attention to. Among model range of this automaker, it is worth highlighting one handsome man - Mitsubishi Galant. This car truly embodies the harmony of practicality with quality. A review of the Mitsubishi Galant will help you make sure of this.

Mitsubishi Galant and its evolution

world famous car company was founded by Yataro Iwasaki in 1873. She was engaged in the production and repair of ships. Initially, the owner called his company Tsukumo, but later renamed it Mitsubishi Commercial Company. Thanks to government support, the brainchild of Yataro Iwasaki has become the largest Japanese shipbuilding company.

Later, the company began aircraft and automotive manufacturing, and produced the first car in 1917.

The Mitsubishi Galant was released back in 1969 and, in fact, became another version of its Colt prototype. It was a rather small car with a 1.5-liter engine. The primary variety of Galant was distinguished by a special body shape and a motor of the Saturn series. A little later, on the basis of this car, they created the Colt Galant GTO, which became the ancestor of a new line of cars in Japan.

Video review of the car Mitsubishi Galant:

Four seasons later, the car was converted into an independent model and presented in two body types: a sedan and a coupe. In selected export countries, it was called the Mitsubishi Sapporo.

A few years later, the first technical changes Galanta: rear springs were replaced with springs, motors were updated.

The new Galant appeared before the Japanese public in 1983. It was a completely new mid-range sedan.

The fifth generation Galant was created in 1992. The updated car gained weight, and differed from its predecessor with smooth rounded body shapes. The technical data has also changed: now the car has gained power and modernity. Despite the quality ride and reliability, the generation lasted only four seasons.

In 1996, the world saw the sixth generation Galant - with flat body shapes, upgraded engines and a dynamic silhouette. He acquired adaptive and with fuel injection technology directly into the cylinders. A year later, the car became the best in Japan among classmates.

The Galant lineup received a slight facelift five years later. The standard equipment of the car has acquired a "sports" package and, accordingly, appearance. The updated Galant is produced only with sedan and station wagon bodies.

In the spring of 2003, Mitsubishi presented in New York the next generation of Galant for automotive market USA. It is based on the front wheel drive M1 platform produced by Daimler Chrysler.

Since 2004, Galant sedans of the eighth generation have been sold only in the markets of Japan and Taiwan; their sale is terminated in other world car markets.

2008 Mitsubishi sedan Galant ninth generation returns to the Russian market. He purchased lighting fittings and a dashboard, fitting for Russian models. The motor of the machine is now adapted to work in cold climates. The premiere of the updated Mitsubishi Galant took place in Chicago in 2009.

Since August 2012, Mitsubishi Motors has ceased production of the Mitsubishi Galant.

Test drive Mitsubishi Galant

The unlimited variety of Mitsubishi Galant variations is embodied in just two trim levels - Intense (base) and Instyle (top).

Intense variations with automatic transmission and manual transmission differ in technical data. With a 2.4-liter engine, they have different capacities - 158 horses for a mechanical one and 8 less for a mechanical one. Mitsubishi Galant Intense with automatic transmission reaches 100 km / h in 11.5 s, and with mechanical - in 10.5 s. Max speed both engines develop the same - 200 km. But fuel consumption in the city and the highway is also different: it is 13.5 liters in the city and 7.2 liters on the highway for cars with automatic transmission and 11.3 liters in the city, and 6.8 liters on the highway at Mitsubishi Galant with manual transmission.

All versions include disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors, as well as central locking.

car prices

It should be borne in mind that since August 2012 the car has not been produced, which means that new model previous years are hard to find. Car dealers offer to purchase a new car from 780,000 rubles, depending on the configuration. Mitsubishi Galant with mileage starts from 150,000 rubles (this takes into account the year of manufacture, external data of the car, technical specifications auto, mileage).

Feature video Mitsubishi car Galant 9:

Galant latest generation evokes quite conflicting emotions. The appearance of the car is unattractive, it loses even against the background of the “Koreans” of the lower class, which is especially noticeable against the background of a charming predecessor. However, the new Galant is a modern solid car matching your style. Even the basic equipment is equipped with benefits that are not offered in top versions other brands, and it's worth a lot. This car is a smart choice for the practical business person.

    The ninth generation of the Mitsubishi Galant began its history in the distant autumn of 2003, when mass production of the car began. The car was built on the PS platform, which was developed by the North American division of Mitsubishi and was intended for mid-size and front-wheel drive cars. In addition to the Galant model, such models as the Endeavor crossover and the Eclipse sports compact were produced on the same platform. All three models were part of the so-called "Project America", the purpose of which was the mass production of Mitsubishi cars for the United States market. Exactly last fact and became a key factor in the issue of a sharp change in the design of the Galant compared to the previous generation of the car, which many fell in love with sportswear. In Russia, the start of sales of the ninth generation Galant began in 2006, ended in 2010. The model finally left the world market in 2012.

    In 2008, the Galant IX began to be produced in a restyled version, which received updates during appearance such as: front bumper, fog lights, radiator grille, headlights, taillights. In addition, the interior of the updated model now had a silver trim instead of woodgrain and dashboard changed the design. On the technical side, the changes were minimal - these are the front brakes, exhaust system began to have strictly 2 lambdas, and there were two cooling fans. All of the above changes relate primarily to cars that were officially sold on the territory of the CIS countries. Cars in the North American market are slightly different from ours, for example, the size of the side mirrors, the shape of the front fenders, ground clearance etc.

    Mitsubishi Galant IX engines.

    On the territory of the Russian Federation, the ninth generation Galant model was sold only with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.4 liters. (model 4G69), which had a maximum power of 158 (160) hp. at 5500 rpm and max. torque 213Nm at 4000 rpm. The 4G69 motor is nothing more than an updated old man 4G64, which has been produced since 1983. The 4G69 is the last motor to be part of the large family of Sirius motors. Compared to the 4G64, the height of the cylinder block has been reduced by 6mm in the new engine. up to 284mm., put lighter pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft- 278g, 530g. and 14.9kg. respectively., made the diameter of the cylinders larger - 87mm., and also increased the diameters of the intake and exhaust valves to 34.0 and 30.5mm. respectively. A completely new cylinder head was introduced, which had a system for changing the valve timing and valve lift height MIVEC. Used as a timing drive toothed belt, the recommended replacement interval of which is 90 thousand km, or 5 years of operation. There are no hydraulic lifters on the 4G69 engine, which is why every 45 thousand km. valve clearances need to be adjusted.


    For almost 15 years of operation of cars with this engine, and it was installed not only on Mitsubishi car models, but also on large-circulation Chinese cars such as BYD S6, JMC Vigor Pickup 4x4 and Great Wall Haval H5, we can safely say that the engine is mega-reliable and not whimsical, if you meet the deadlines and regularly perform maintenance work maintenance of the power plant. The resource of the 4G69 engine is 400-500 thousand km. Only after runs of 200-250 thousand km. ask for replacement or repair of some attachments - a generator, a starter, as well as a lambda and a catalyst. There are problems with the oil pressure sensor, sometimes you have to change the gasket set at the candle wells due to the appearance of oil there. There are also rare cases of an increase in the oil appetite of the motor, as a rule, the cause of this is hardened valve stem seals, which are asked to be replaced.


    Outside the Russian Federation, Galant was also produced with a naturally aspirated V6 engine of 3.8 liters. ( 6G75) with a maximum power of 233 (since 2008 261) hp. at 5250 (6000) rpm and max. cool torque 250 (329) Nm at 4000 (2700) rpm. This power point part of the Cyclone V6 engine family. This engine is a descendant of the 6G74 model with a volume of 3.5 liters. - cast iron cylinder block, piston stroke 90mm, cylinder diameter 95mm, compression ratio 9.8. Forged connecting rods. The cylinder head has a single shaft design with 24 valves. In addition, a system for changing the valve timing and valve lift height MIVEC has been installed. As a drive, as well as on a 2.4l engine. a belt is used, the replacement interval of which is the same - 90 thousand km. The 6G75 engine has shown itself to be a fairly reliable unit, its resource is from 400 thousand km. run. Of the rare, but well-aimed problems, the following can be voiced: There were cases when the screws for fastening the dampers of the variable geometry intake manifold system were unscrewed arbitrarily and, as a result, all these screws getting into the cylinders led the owners to capital ... Similar cases were on 6G74 (DOHC) engines ) and seems to be inherited.

    Transmission Mitsubishi Galant IX.

    Before restyling, both engines were paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission model F4A4B in the 4L1Z modification. Moreover, with the 6G75 engine, the driver had the opportunity to manually shift gears. Starting with restyling, the V6 version of the car began to be produced with an automatic transmission in 5 steps. Rules recommended by the owners partial replacement oil in automatic transmission is a mileage of 50-60 thousand km. The resource for both automatic transmissions with proper maintenance is 250-350 thousand km.


    Suspension and steering Mitsubishi control Galant IX.

    Suspension - MacPherson front, multi-link rear. Very soft and reliable. Apart from the suspension struts, which last up to 120 thousand km, the rest of the parts begin to ask for repairs on runs over 150-200 thousand km. The owners of the ninth generation Mitsubishi Galant do not remember about the rail until runs of 250-300 thousand km. But the power steering pump may buzz a little earlier - on a run of 200-250 thousand km.

    Output.

    The ninth and yet latest generation Mitsubishi Galant is definitely interesting car- with a rather controversial appearance, the sedan boasts a fairly large interior space in its class, a very comfortable suspension and resource engines with good performance. Certainly there are typical age cars ailments, but all of them can be solved quite budgetary.
