In [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], the Perennial has a close resemblance to the [[wp:Chevrolet Nova#First/Second generation|1962-1964 Chevrolet Nova]] station wagon, though they are fashioned much smaller and shorter. The GTA San Andreas version features the most cosmetic changes among the three, with a redesigned frontal V-bumper, redressed light clusters, and metallic side trimming. The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas renditions also feature optional roof racks towards the rear.

The GTA San Andreas version features the most cosmetic changes among the three, with changable two-tone body colors, a redesigned frontal V-bumper, redressed light clusters, and metallic side trimming. The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas renditions also feature optional roof racks towards the rear.


In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], the car assumes a slightly newer and slimmer model that resembles a [[wp:Ford Country Squire#Fifth generation .281969.E2.80.931972.29|1969 Ford LTD Country Squire]], based on the position of the side panels and grille, but retains elements of previous iterations of the car in the rear. The cars also constantly feature roof racks.

The [[Dinka]] Perennial "MPV AW" returns to the GTA lineup with a significant makeover, both in looks and performance. Gone is the horrendous FWD layout, ditched in favor of a rear-biased 30% Front/70% Rear AWD layout (hence, AW). The Perennial is more than likely powered by a mid-range V6, and is coupled to a 5 speed gearbox. Acceleration is now average, with a reasonable top speed. Handling is also upgraded significantly, as the Perennial no longer flops about on the road, but keeps steady. The suspension is quite firm for a vehicle of this size, and aides high-speed cornering. Braking is average, and the optional (but rare) ABS definitely helps. Crash deformation is below average, and as such the Perennial cannot sustain much damage before being un-drivable. However in a head on crash, minimal damage is suffered in the interior.

Only one Car Color may be changed in [[Transfender]] and it selects the body of the vehicle.
The Perennial in GTA San Andreas can be modified at a [[TransFender]], which offers a moderate range of parts to the car.
However, the factory two-tone paint jobs have assorted roof colors. A [[Pay 'n' Spray]] can be used first until desired roof color is achieved, then enter Transfender to color the body.
