The Stratum's design, performance, and its likely V6 engine suggest that it is derived from the [[wp:Honda Accord#Fifth generation (1994–1997)|fifth generation (1994–1997) Honda Accord wagon]]; however D-pillars have been added. The car's real-life counterpart fails to fit in the game's time setting (1992).

In GTA IV, the [[Zirconium]] Stratum 2.6GT still takes its primary inspiration from the [[wp:Honda Accord#Fifth generation (1994–1997)|fifth generation Honda Accord station wagon]] (with the same added pillars as the previous rendition), albeit with a front end derived from the [[wp:Nissan Skyline|R32 Nissan Skyline]], a modernized rear end design, and C-pillars which may be derived from the 1996-2001 Toyota Camry wagon. The game's Stratum may appear in two forms, the standard model or the "Twin Turbo" variant, which features an additional spoiler over the rear windscreen and a "Twin Turbo" badge in the rear. The GTA IV rendition also features an optional sunroof or luggage rails.

The Stratum appears to be powered by a V6, or a high-torque inline-4 or inline-6 (hence the Skyline front end), coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD configuration. Acceleration is inferior, and its top speed (277km/h) is limited by its weight and poor aerodynamic coefficient.
