Crash Test 1999 - 2003 Mitsubisi Galant / Legnum / Aspire / VRG IIHS (Frontal Offset)

Mitsubishi Galant
1999-2003 models
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Acceptable
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Acceptable Good Good Good Acceptable Acceptable

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Mitsubishi Galant was redesigned for the 1999 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head moved down and toward the driver door. Then its head moved up, hitting the B-pillar and head restraint.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.

Not really, there are much worse cars for the money and class. BTW, this is not the gtz. GTZs have side-air bags on both sides.

I have to thank this car for bringing me to my destinations for the past 8 years. The Galant 2.0 GDI 144hp with VR-4 Package.

I bought this car with 6 miles on it and drove it for 150,000 miles. Loved the car, and it totally protected me in a crash. I was stopped, turning left (with blinker on), and got rear-ended. She hit me so hard the radio flew out of the dash, into the back seat, and the moonroof shattered. I worked the next day without so much as a scratch, even though the car was bent down the middle. I would have bought another in 2004, but the new style was too ugly. LOL It was a great car.
