In GTA IV, the [[Declasse]]-manufactured Premier is designed as a compact, four-door sedan that resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Cobalt|Chevrolet Cobalt]] sedan, obviously for its four-door design but also for its taillight design - which differs from the coupe. The front actually seems to bear more of a resemblance to the [[wp:Lexus ES#Fourth generation (2002-2006)|2002-2006 Lexus ES]]. The taillights are [[wp:Altezza lights|Altezza-styled]], which are more popular in imported cars and custom cars in the United States than domestics. The taillights look loosely inspired by the ones from the [[wp:Lexus IS#First generation (2001-2005)|1998-2005 Lexus IS]] (aka the Toyota Altezza), and there also seems to be some Cobalt influences, however they just seem improvised; the rest of the rear also seems improvised. The front bumper might be a result of things being rearranged (as Rockstar has done with other vehicles). According to its badging, it is powered by a 4 liter engine, probably a V6. | In GTA IV, the [[Declasse]]-manufactured Premier is designed as a compact, four-door sedan that resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Cobalt|Chevrolet Cobalt]] sedan, obviously for its four-door design but also for its taillight design - which differs from the coupe.

The Premier in GTA IV has a 4.0L V6 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a rear | The Premier in GTA IV has a 4.0L V6 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a rear wheel drive layout. The engine itself is responsive, propelling the vehicle off the line quickly, and giving it an acceptable top speed of 145 km/h (90 mph). Handling is rather good for a car in the mid-sized 4 door class, keeping the Premier stable in most turns, though some oversteer can be felt. The suspension is rather soft however, giving way to body roll. Braking is adequate, though not as good as other sedans. Crash deformation is below average, with the Premier stalling after only a few collisions. | ||
The Premier in GTA V appears to have been given a performance upgrade, as it accelerates faster than the previous rendition. The car is now mated to a front wheel drive layout. | |||
