The Serrano is a luxury SUV made by Benefactor in the second downloadable content for GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony. The name "Serrano" is based on that of the Porsche Cayenne as both cars' names' are vegetable chili peppers. This type of name imitation is also seen in the Habanero.

Description

Design

The hood design, grille, greenhouse, and sides are similar to a Mercedes-Benz M Class W164; Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class influences are seen on the crease on the sides, the rear, and the front bumper somewhat; the headlights are much like a 2004-2006 Volkswagen Touareg but with added turning signals. The engine badge on the side reads V12, just like the one on the Schafter.

There are two variants of this SUV:

  • Standard Version: Which share the same rims with the Emperor Habanero
  • AMG Version: Which has tinted windows, a custom chrome grill with a large Benefactor emblem in the middle, resembling a Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class grill, and custom alloy wheels with the spokes being in a upside down "Y" shape.

Performance

With a Supercharged V12 engine, the Serrano excels considerably well in power, possessing above average acceleration and a good top speed. With a four-wheel drive and a more than sufficient amount of torque, the Serrano is also capable of hillclimbing, although its low-riding body design, like that of the Habanero, makes it less compatible for off-roading. In terms of steering and braking, the Serrano performs averagely due to its excess weight, and will occasionally burn out in tight corners due to its torque.

The modified Serrano improves over the existing design with a significantly lighter weight, and improved engine output and brakes, allowing the variant to corner better, brake in shorter distances and move faster. These traits rank the modified Serrano one of the more better performing SUVs in the game.

Locations

The Serrano is easily acquirable by phoning up Henrique Bardas and asking him to steal one for you.

In the mission Corner Kids, Luis, Armando & Henrique must escape from a swarm of LCPD officers; during which they immediately head straight to a Serrano parked in East Hook of Broker.
