Rockstar Games added the feature to the multiplayer game with the Lowriders update, and there are currently 18 vehicles that support hydraulics. However, not all vehicles should be purchased solely for this feature.

Each car is uniquely designed with its own set of performance stats and abilities. While some become great companions for players, others only serve niche purposes. This article lists five of the best hydraulic vehicles that GTA Online players can own in 2023.

Albany Hermes, Declasse Sabre Turbo Custom, and three other hydraulics cars in GTA Online

1) Albany Hermes

The Albany Hermes is one of the most elegant vehicles in GTA Online. It is based on the real-life third-generation Buick Super and has a unique aerodynamic design. Although the muscle car's wheels are mostly covered, it is still one of the best cars to use if you want to enjoy hydraulics.

Unlike others, the Hermers come with standard hydraulics from the factory, so you won't have to spend extra money on them. The vehicle is available for $535,000 from the Southern S.A. Super Autos website.

4) Albany Buccaneer Custom

As the name implies, the Buccaneer Custom is a customized version of the standard Buccaneer that can be converted at Benny’s garage. While you can equip it with four hydraulics, removing the roof adds extra charm to the vehicle's lowrider profile.

Benny also offers additional customizations to make the Buccaneer Custom more visually appealing. However, GTA Online players must spend $29,000 on the Buccaneer and an additional $390,000 to unlock the hydraulics options.

5) Albany Primo Custom

Although the Primo Custom appears to be a simple car in the game, it can be equipped with hydraulic modifications. You can steal a Primo from the street and convert it to the Primo Custom variant in Benny's Original Motor Works for $400,000.

Converting it will unlock four hydraulics options, with prices ranging from $75,000 to $250,000. The hydraulics mods in GTA Online allow you to avoid colliding with road bumps, which the car frequently does after getting lowered suspensions.
