Having been available in both sedan and 5-door hatchback versions, the seventh generation Galant debuted as a sleek restyled vehicle.
Sharing its features with sedan the hatch was no different except its slightly smaller trunk and market coverage. While the sedan had been specifically tailored for the United States, the hatch was available in a few other regional markets, part in Central America, part in Europe. The most notable Hatch version is probably the GTi Dynamic-4, powered by a normally aspirated 2.5 L 6-cylinder petrol unit with a power output of 170 hp that pushed the car to top speed of 134 mph thanks to a 5-speed transmission and an all-wheel drive.
