Mitsubishi Galant What's New for 2009.5MY
The 2009 Galant benefits from a mid-model year re-fresh and internally, we are calling this the 2009.5 Galant.
Beginning with the ES, a new lower grille mesh has been added to all trims.
The ES Sun Sound and Leather is now the ES Sun Sound Leather and Blue pkg. The Blue package adds Bluetooth® Hands-free phone calls with your Bluetooth® compatible cell phone.
Sport Edition & Sport V6 have standard 18" machined aluminum alloy wheels with P235/45R18 tires with the suspension beefed up for support.
The ES Sun, Sound, Leather and Blue, Sport Edition, Sport V6 & Ralliart now have Bluetooth®.
Ralliart with Navigation receives the Rear View Back-up Camera integrated into the display.
For ease in translating new FOGs for production between August 2008 and June 2009, the numbers will remain the same with a prefix of T, with one exception: the base FOG for ES was A01 will now be T21.
