GTA IV features an updated Sentinel XS, however it is no longer considered a distinct vehicle — it handles identically to the Sentinel, and the game refers to the car simply as "Sentinel" when entered. Its visual differences include "XS" badging, and a rear spoiler sporting "STD" decals.

The features of the GTA IV Sentinel XS emulate the BMW M3 GTR. | GTA IV features an updated Sentinel XS, however it is no longer considered a distinct vehicle — it handles identically to the Sentinel, and the game refers to the car simply as "Sentinel" when entered.
