In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Esperanto is very different to the earlier renditions. Rather than being a large two-door coupe, the new car is a mid-sized four-door sedan. Its styling inspiration appears to be a pastiche of common late-70s/early-80s American car styling rather than a clone of any one car. The front end and sides are similar to a 1977 Impala though the headlights and signal indicators sit more flush with the grille and front trim, much like a 1982-'85 Chevy Celebrity, while the rear-end features bustle-back styling found on the Cadillac Seville, with taillamps lifted from a 77-81 Pontiac Bonneville, and the chrome on the bottom of the sides looks reminiscent of a Chevy Caprice's from around the same era. | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Esperanto is very different to the earlier renditions.

A modified variant (with official taxi ID plaques) is driven by [[Niko Bellic|Niko Bellic's]] cousin, [[Roman]] and is simply called [[Roman's Taxi]] when getting into that particular Esperanto. When free cab rides from Roman's garage are unlocked, an Esperanto will be sent to pick Niko up. | A modified variant (with official taxi ID plaques) is driven by [[Niko Bellic|Niko Bellic's]] cousin, [[Roman]] and is simply called [[Roman's Taxi]] when getting into that particular Esperanto.
