A Sunrise in GTA San Andreas (Rear quarter view).

The Sunrise is a vehicle that is only available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

It is one of only two 4 door cars that can arguably be used for both street racing and police evasion, the other being the Sultan. The Sunrise looks slightly similar to a 1990–1993 Honda Accord. Despite the fact that the Sunrise has quite sporty appearance as it features a custom bodykit, it cannot be modified in Wheel Arch Angels, but in TransFender instead.

Performance

While speed is extraordinary, acceleration is slightly disappointing, likely due to the front-wheel drive train being poorly matched with the presumably throaty V6 engine. However, handling is taut, and the brakes are strong. The Sunrise reaches very high speeds, even greater than the other four-door racer, the Sultan.

The drawback with this car, however, is that due to its lower-than-average curb weight, the very high speeds it is capable of reaching can send it out of control even at the slightest perturbation. It isn't really a low suspension, but it's its awkwardly located wheel wells (a bit too high) that prevent this car from being used on uneven roads, hills, and trails.

Trivia

• When entered, the default radio station in the Sunrise is CSR 103.9.
• Some people favor this car because of its sporty appearance(which can be further customized at TransFender), its high performance, its 4-person capacity and its commonness.

Locations

The Sunrises are sometimes seen driven around in San Fierro and Las Venturas, though its less common in Los Santos.
