About the original moderate overlap front test

Tested vehicle: 2008 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4-door with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and standard front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2007-12 models

The Mitsubishi Galant was redesigned for the 2004 model year. Front seat-mounted combination head and torso side airbags were made standard for the 2005 model year. Beginning with 2007 models, front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags became standard.
