Overview
If you’re on the hunt for a budget-friendly Japanese sedan that feels a bit premium without crossing the 8 lakh mark, the 1996 Mitsubishi Galant is worth a look. Back in the day, it was seen as an executive sedan, going head-to-head with the Toyota Corona and Nissan Cefiro in Bangladesh’s reconditioned market. Local owners and mechanics often say the Galant still feels comfortable and smooth. Just keep in mind, owning a car that’s nearly 30 years old means you’ll need to inspect it carefully and stay on top of maintenance.

The 1996 Mitsubishi Galant has a small but loyal following in Bangladesh’s used-car market. It mostly goes up against older Toyota Corona and Nissan Cefiro models. People tend to pick the Galant for its comfort and smooth engine, not for fuel savings. In local Facebook owner groups, it’s often called a “budget executive sedan.” But most owners agree: at this age, condition matters more than the badge. If a Galant hasn’t been cared for, it can get expensive fast.

Exterior Design
Owners in Bangladesh often say the Galant still turns heads on the road. Its long body and chrome grille give it a classic executive vibe, and the design doesn’t feel as dated as some other 90s sedans. Watch out for rust around the wheel arches and door panels. Humidity makes it a common issue. Still, a clean, well-painted Galant really stands out in city traffic.
