About Mitsubishi Galant
Mitsubishi also assembles and markets a Taiwan made version of the ninth-generation Galant. In Taiwan, this version is known as the Mitsubishi Grunder. Taiwan was one of the first regions outside the Americas to market the ninth generation vehicle, when the Galant Grunder was launched in December 2004 with a unique front end. It has a 162 PS (119 kW) version of the 2.4-liter engine and four-speed automatic (INVECS-II), and comes in either SEi format or as the better equipped EXi model.
This facelifted model is also sold in the Philippines as the Galant 240M (using the 2.4-liter engine), and in the People’s Republic of China as the Galant, by Soueast Motor since 2006. Models in China receive a 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter engine each paired with an automatic transmission. (Source Wiki)
