Compared to its predecessor, the height is slightly higher; however the length and width have been reduced, resulting in reduced weight. In addition, all models are now in compliance with Japanese Government 2005 emission standards, resulting in a 75% reduction level over the previous model. The Mitsubishi trim packages are aligned with their Nissan Fuga counterparts. The Proudia "250 A" is the equivalent of the Fuga "250 GT," the "Proudia 250 VIP" to the "Fuga 250 VIP," and the "Proudia 370 VIP" to the "Fuga 370 VIP." The "Proudia 370 4WD" is the equivalent to the "Fuga 370 GT Four," the first time the Proudia has been offered with all-wheel-drive. The hybrid engine option offered on the Fuga is not offered on the Proudia, and is only available on the longer Dignity limousine. The term "VIP" reflects a high status car in Japan.
