The Habanero in GTA IV.

The Emperor Habanero is a four-door SUV found in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

The Habanero appears to be based primarily off of the 2004-2009 Lexus RX, which is a mid-size SUV and a rebadge of the Japanese Toyota Harrier. Like the Lexus, the Habanero doesn't do well off road, due to it being low to the ground and more sport orientated. It is, however, good for cruising around Liberty City.

Performance

The Habanero is powered by a numb-feeling V6, paired to a 5 speed gearbox in an AWD configuration. Borrowing it's specifications from the Lexus RX, the Habanero focuses more on stability and luxury rather than performance, leaving acceleration off the line slow, with a mediocre top speed. Braking is below average, due in part to constant front wheel lockup. ABS is not available on the Habanero, but would make a wonderful addition. Handling at speed is fair, though for some reason the suspension doesn't act how you'd like it to. At slow speeds, it's far too soft leading to body roll, while at high speeds it's far too firm and unforgiving. Crash deformation is below average and build quality is subpar, often leading to catastrophic failure after only a few accidents. The Habanero seems to be best suited for long-distance cruising between islands, or as a last resort mode of transportation.

Trivia

  • A 'habanero' is a type of chili, in fact, the name might be inspired from the Porsche Cayenne, also a mid-size SUV, since it is also a type of chili pepper.
