The Dilettante is depicted as a compact four-door hatchback based on a [[wp:Toyota Prius#2004–2009 (model NHW20)|2004-2009 Toyota Prius]], with headlights from a [[wp:Citroën C4|Citroën C4]].

According to a radio advertisement in GTA IV, the Dilettante is worth $39,999 brand new; which is more expensive then the Prius in real life; which is about $22,000. | ||
=== Performance === | === Performance === | ||
The Dilettante, powered by a small (<2L) petrol engine along with an electric motor, is coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in FWD configuration. Acceleration, predictably, is well below average; taking the Dilettante upwards of 10 seconds to reach its top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph), which for an electric/gas hybrid is rather brisk. Handling can be described as fair, though understeer is very noticeable. The suspension is firm enough to cope with high speed cornering, while soft enough to tackle Liberty City's rough streets. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard across the line. Crash deformation is acceptable, though engine build quality is below average. In all, the Dilettante is an underwhelming vehicle, unsuited to high-performance applications such as high-speed chases or escapes, or ramming other vehicles. | The Dilettante, powered by a small (<2L) petrol engine along with an electric motor, is coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in FWD configuration.
