The Sunrise parked in Los Santos

The Sunrise is another vehicle that is only available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is one of only two 4 door cars that can arguably be used for both street racing and police evasion, the other being the Sultan. It is sometimes seen driving around in San Fierro and Las Venturas, but is generally absent from Los Santos. The Sunrise closely resembles a 1990–1993 Honda Accord with a custom side skirt(although the Stratum is based on an Accord station wagon the different looks may be because the Stratum is based on a to 1994–1997 Accord Station wagon rather than a 1990–1993 model). Despite that the Sunrise appears to be a tuner, it cannot be modified in Wheel Arch Angels, but in TransFender instead.

Performance

While speed is extraordinary, acceleration is slightly disappointing, likely due to the front-wheel drive train being poorly matched with the presumably throaty V6 engine. However, handling is taut, and the brakes are strong. The Sunrise reaches very high speeds, even greater then the other four-door racer, the Sultan. The drawback, however, with this car is that due to its lower-than-average curb weight, the very high speeds it is capable of reaching can send it out of control even at the slightest perturbance. Its lowered suspension also prevents this car from being used on uneven roads, hills, and trails.
