3 versions documentedGalant, through the years.
One name, many different cars. Choose a generation, then a documented year and version.
Mitsubishi identifies the December 1969 Colt Galant as the first generation and the 1987 Galant as the sixth. Generations two through five and later generations remain missing here. The Galant GTO is a related, separately documented model line and is not folded into the sedan-generation ladder.
This is a growing history. A generation listed here does not mean every year or trim is documented. Each profile identifies its engine, transmission and market; available driving models are labeled separately.
