The 1997 Mitsubishi Galant, a mid-size sedan, represented a significant evolution for the nameplate. The sixth generation Galant, introduced in 1996, embraced a more refined and sophisticated design, departing from the boxier, more utilitarian styling of its predecessors. The 1997 model year saw the introduction of the "VR-4" performance variant, boasting a powerful 2.5-liter V6 engine with a twin-turbocharger system, delivering thrilling performance. The Galant's interior also underwent a transformation, offering a more spacious and comfortable cabin with features like upgraded materials, improved sound insulation, and a driver-focused dashboard layout. This model was available in various trim levels, providing different levels of comfort and features, catering to a diverse customer base. The 1997 Mitsubishi Galant's mechanical underpinnings were robust and reliable. The powertrain offered a choice between a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or the potent VR-4's 2.5-liter V6, both paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Galant's suspension, a combination of MacPherson struts in the front and a multi-link setup in the rear, provided a well-balanced ride that was both comfortable and responsive. The 1997 Galant's safety features were also noteworthy, including standard dual front airbags and available side airbags. The Galant's combination of practicality, refinement, and performance, along with its reputation for dependability, made it a compelling choice in the competitive mid-size sedan segment.
