DUBAI, 22 September 2006 — Mitsubishi’s newly introduced Galant is all set to stun the automotive industry in the UAE as well as motoring aficionados around the world. Slated to be powerfully agile it takes the driver as well as passenger to the next level of performance and luxury like never before.
Enthusiastic about the launch of the new Mitsubishi Galant, Roger Ghosn, marketing manager of Al-Habtoor Motors, said, “With the launch of the all-new Mitsubishi Galant, we’ll be filling the gap in the 2.4-liter saloon car category and I’m sure we’re now expanding our competition in the UAE. “
Shintano Hirano, assistant general manager, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation-Middle East Liaison Office, added that with the launch of the 2.4-liter Galant, “we’ll be adding more muscle to our saloon line-up so that our customers in the UAE will have a Mitsubishi car that matches the need of every kind of customer.”
To start with, its beauty is combined with modern style and advanced technology that is highlighted by a sophisticated new front-end treatment.
While the interior reflects absolute refinement, the ride and handling provide unprecedented levels of comfort and offers a more engaging driving experience with a sporty feel. The new car also boasts advanced safety features like the standard side curtain airbags, which have been added to the comprehensive safety package that also includes advanced front air bags with occupant sensors and front seat-mounted side-impact airbags. For those who crave for performance the new car treats them with a spirited drive, thanks to the remarkable and extremely responsive 2.4-liter MIVEC engine that delivers the right mix of power, performance and efficiency. It produces an impressive 170 hp at 5,500 rpm.
Furthermore, the smooth 4-speed INVECS-II with Sports Mode transmission which allows clutch-less manual shift, promises the driver an exhilarating drive.
The Mitsubishi Galant adds safety equipment in the form of a tire pressure monitoring system for ES, LS and GTS models equipped with alloy wheels. There are also the ABS disc brakes with electronic brake-force distribution for sure footed braking during any kind of emergency.
