The fourth-generation Mitsubishi Galant (A160 chassis series) arrived in 1980. Displaying a sharp wedge profile with reduced drag coefficients, body styles comprised a four-door sedan, station wagon, and Sapporo coupe. Engineering of the Galant IV (A160) (factory code A160) emphasized high structural rigidity, aerodynamic efficiency, and optimized interior spatial packaging. Built with reinforced body structures utilizing high-tensile steel alloys, the platform delivered reduced curb weight alongside improved occupant crash protection. The vehicle was distributed globally in multiple configuration packages designed to satisfy diverse market demands and regional regulatory specifications.

Engines spanned 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, and 2.0-liter turbocharged 4G63T (170 hp) petrol engines, plus a 2.3-liter 4D55 turbodiesel. Options featured Sirius ECS electronically controlled suspension and digital instrument clusters. The powertrain lineup incorporated efficient engine families paired with robust manual, automatic, or continuously variable transmissions depending on trim selection. Drivetrain engineering integrated advanced suspension tuning and traction management systems. Periodic mid-cycle cosmetic and technical updates refreshed front-end aesthetics, lighting technology, and cabin infotainment features, maintaining competitive positioning across international consumer segments throughout its production lifespan.
