Mitsubishi Galant V (E10) gallery (1983–1989)
The Galant V (E10) vehicle generation was manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors from 1983 to 1989 and offered in sedan body configurations.
The fifth-generation Mitsubishi Galant (E10 series, E11A through E19A platform codes) launched in 1983, representing the platform's transition to a transverse front-wheel-drive layout in a four-door sedan configuration. Engineering of the Galant V (E10) (factory code E10) 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.
Engine choices included 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 (4G63), 2.0-liter Turbo, and a 3.0-liter V6 for North America, alongside a 1.8-liter 4D65T turbodiesel. Electronics included electronically controlled 4-speed automatics and ECS air suspension. 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.
