Based on the Citroën Mehari, the Canis Kalahari looks very similar to its real-life counterpart. It has a very boxy shape and is modeled to be a small truck that has carrier space at the back. It is a 2-seater vehicle that can be bought in two variants; one with a hardtop roof and the other, roofless. The Kalahari has a rectangular windshield and a rectangular grille. The headlights are circular in shape, two on the left and two on the right. Adjacent to the headlights on the sides of the body, the turn indicators are placed. The tail lights are also circular with the brake lights placed on top of the reverse lights. The Canis Kalahari, when found driven around or parked, is often found modified. The interior of this vehicle is found only in Beige color. The Canis logo can be found at the front and on the rear end of the body.
The Kalahari has very good traction and its handling on roads is amazing for an off-road vehicle. Its thin tires do not serve the purpose of an off-road vehicle accessory. The top speed of this vehicle also doesn’t disappoint for its use and class. Acceleration is good and after modifications, the engine sounds as good as a sports car. It is powered by a turbocharged Inline-4 engine with a 4-speed gearbox with the engine at the front.

Available to purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $40,000 in a hardtop and a topless variant.
In the Southern San Andreas Super Autos description, it is stated that the Kalahari is still being used by the French armed forces. In real life, the French Army purchased 7,064 Méharis, before they were replaced with Panhard VBLs.
The default radio station of the Kalahari is Blaine County Radio.
The name refers to the Kalahari desert and thus it implies that the truck has good off-road abilities. Interestingly enough, the Citroën Mehari was sold in a color called Kalahari Beige.
