The Sentinel XS is a sportier variant of the regular Sentinel luxury car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V. The car is related to the Mafia/Leone Sentinel, gang car of the Leone Family in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description
"You try paying for a high-end one of these - and alimony."
- Official Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description, GTA Vice City.[1]
Ever since the Sentinel's introduction in GTA III, a sportier variant has been present in every GTA game, excluding GTA San Andreas. The Sentinel XS's main visual distinction from the regular Sentinel is its spoiler and rear window grilles; performance-wise, the car is faster than the regular Sentinel, suggestively alluding on the BMW M5, although the car, like regular Sentinels, more closely resembles the BMW 5 Series E28, which was not used in the M5 series. There also appears to be resemblances of the Citroën Xantia (1993–2001), particularly the bumpers.
In GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel XS is not given the same aesthetic modification as the game's Sentinel, resulting in the car appearing more distinctive in the game. The Sentinel XS also emit a different engine sound than the regular Sentinel.
The Sentinel XS is the preferred gang car of the Mendez Cartel in GTA Vice City Stories.
The Sentinel XS in GTA V is hardtop Coupé,sportier version of the regular Sentinel.It is based on the BMW M3 (2007-2013) most likely due to it's prominent carbon roof,mirrors and front splitter.It performs better than the regular counterpart due to it's improved handling,increased top speed,stiffer suspension and stronger brakes.
