Toyota Camry Hybrid vs. Mitsubishi Galant Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Toyota Camry Hybrid to the dealership as the Mitsubishi Galant. The Galant pales in comparison to the Toyota with respect to gas mileage. With respect to fuel economy, the Toyota Camry Hybrid bests the Mitsubishi Galant. The Mitsubishi Galant isn't much less expensive than the Toyota when it comes to MSRP. As far as purchase cost, the Toyota Camry Hybrid costs considerably more than the Mitsubishi Galant. The Mitsubishi Galant will cost you a bunch of money in gasoline every year compared to the Toyota Camry Hybrid.

Utility
Neither the Toyota Camry Hybrid nor the Mitsubishi Galant has a marked advantage in terms of seating capacity.

Convenience
You'll most definitely have to take the Mitsubishi Galant for a fill-up more often than the Toyota Camry Hybrid because of its tank size and fuel economy.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Mitsubishi Galant offers a bit more head room than the Camry Hybrid, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Toyota Camry Hybrid provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Mitsubishi does.

Dimensions
The Toyota Camry Hybrid is slightly more ponderous than the Mitsubishi Galant. The Camry Hybrid's tank is roughly the same size as the Mitsubishi's, though the Mitsubishi Galant's is a bit larger. The Toyota and the Mitsubishi Galant compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Toyota Camry Hybrid is definitely sprier than the Mitsubishi Galant, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Mitsubishi has a more sizeable engine than the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Note that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Mitsubishi is tremendously more powerful than the Camry Hybrid. The Mitsubishi Galant packs quite a punch compared to the Toyota Camry Hybrid with respect to torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Toyota Camry Hybrid isn't quite as generous as the Mitsubishi Galant's.

Other
The Toyota Camry Hybrid produces fewer smog-forming pollutants per 15,000 miles than the Mitsubishi Galant.
