The Mitsubishi Dignity whose name was taken from "the English to describe the peerless grandeur and majestic stateliness of the model",  is a limousine produced by japanese automakers Mitsubishi Motors from late 1999 as the flagship of the company's domestic range and in 2012 it was reintroduced to Japanese buyers based on the Nissan Cima. It was only sold at a specific retail chain called Galant Shop, in Japan.

The whole Dignity range was designed by Mitsubishi Motors and co-manufacturers Hyundai, who marketed their own version as the Hyundai Equus (from 1999 to 2009). The Dignity was introduced as a competitor to the Nissan President and Toyota Century as the top level flagship, however Mitsubishi chose to use a transversely installed engine with front wheel drive. A Dignity is used by Fumihito, Prince Akishino, the 2nd son of Akihito the Emperor Emeritus of Japan.

It used MacPherson struts for the front suspension and a multi-link suspension for the rear wheels. The car was equipped with several advanced features like Driver Support System, self-levelling multi-link air suspension with electronic damping control.

The 2nd generation is slightly taller, but narrower and shorter, and is lighter by 200 kg (440 lb) over its predecessors.
