How we verify Mitsubishi Galant performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mitsubishi Galant trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mitsubishi Galant performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Mitsubishi Galant on record is the 2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart Sedan, which runs 0–60 mph in 6.1 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.80 seconds at 97.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Mitsubishi Galant is the 1985 Mitsubishi Galant Sedan, which takes 14.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 20.30 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 18 verified runs, a Mitsubishi Galant reaches 60 mph in 8.09 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.10 seconds at roughly 88.0 mph.
We have verified test data for 9 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Mitsubishi Galant can do, not a single marketing claim.
