There are two different taxi sedans in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]; one built by [[Declasse]], based on the [[Merit]], which is the [[:wp:Chevrolet Impala|2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala]], and the other built by [[Vapid]], based on the [[Vapid Fleet Sedan|Fleet Sedan]], influenced strongly by the [[:wp:Ford Crown Victoria#First generation (1992–1997)|1992–1997 Ford Crown Victoria P72]], with frontal design cues more similar to a [[:wp:Ford Crown Victoria#Second generation (1998–present)|1998–2011 model]].

Players can enter Taxis in GTA IV and [[Taxi Rides|take taxi rides]] to destinations, which is often a quicker alternative to driving themselves. Warning: in ''[[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', using a taxi during missions will often result in the completion challenges for that mission being voided due to being able to bypass the time limit using one.

The GTA III rendition of the Taxi possesses almost identical handling properties to that of the [[Kuruma]]. However, the Taxi does not suffer from the stiff suspension and heavy kerb weight the Kuruma has.

The [[Declasse]] [[Merit]]-based taxi in GTA IV is powered by a V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is very good, and the top speed is above average (140 km/h or 87 mph).  The brakes have been upgraded over the regular Merit, requiring a shorter stopping distance.  The suspension has also had an upgrade, making this vehicle corner more effectively at speed. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the cab can survive a few frontal hits before failing.
