Cavalcade
The Cavalcade is a 4-door SUV manufactured by Albany and featured only in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is common throughout the city and can be found in all boroughs.
Overview
The Cavalcade is one of the best vehicles in the SUV class, with good top speed, decent handling both on and off the road and excellent resistance to damage. The Cavalcade has full time all-wheel drive for improved traction. Despite it's size it is fairly quick, sporting a high displacement V-8 and has good braking, although the brakes squeal on some models.
The Cavalcade is very closely based on the second generation Cadillac Escalade, although the Cavalcade has a shorter wheelbase than the Escalade. There are two types: the stock Cavalcade which comes in a variety of colors, and also a burgundy Spanish Lords Cavalcade with special gold rims and stereo systems in the rear. These vehicles' stereos feature a noticable increased bass effect due to the subwoofers. The Spanish Lords Cavalcades are mostly found around South Bohan.
There is also a unique black Cavalcade with black rims which you can obtain during the mission Deconstruction for Beginners. It is parked in an alley in Castle Gardens where Playboy X will have you retrieve some weapons from it. If you want to you can drive it to a safehouse to save it and then return to complete the mission.
