Everything about Armored Kuruma that players should know

Karin Kuruma (Armored) was first introduced to GTA Online as part of the Heists Update. Its design is similar to that of a Kuruma but fitted with bulletproof armor panels over the roof as well as a cabin and some protective frames over the lights. It also has bullet-resistant windows that protect from small arms fire and rarely get shattered from it.

The car also received some minor cosmetic changes on the outer body, more noticeably the roof brakes and the badges, which have now been removed. The interior body features a roll-cage, while the rear bumper has big-bore exhausts. The vehicle also has a spoiler with bolted-on details on both sides.

When it comes to its performance, the vehicle is powered by a modeled twin-cam straight-six engine coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in an all-wheel-drive layout. Its performance is somewhat different from that of the no Kuruma. It has less acceleration as well as top speed, less traction, and slightly weaker brakes.

However, the vehicle makes up for all those shortcomings in the form of durability against gunshots (most firearms) as well as collisions. In comparison, it is about three times as durable as the normal Kuruma.

Because of the armor, it’s heavier than the normal Kuruma as it has an extra 1,700 kgs of mass. This results in more understeer, however, players can still manage to control the vehicle.


Is it worth having Armored Kuruma in 2022?

Yes, absolutely! The vehicle can reach a staggering top speed of 147 mph with decent acceleration, which is quite impressive considering it weighs around 2,866 lbs. Players get very durable armor in the vehicle that protects them from damage from bullets. Even though bullet holes appear on windows, they still protect the players as a bullet shot won’t damage the player’s health to a great extent.

The vehicle is also immune to any crash deformation, allowing players to have a vehicle that never gets locked from any crash in GTA Online.


To conclude, this is the best time for players to grab this vehicle if they haven’t already. The vehicle will be available free of cost until the next weekly update by Rockstar Games.
