GTA 5: Emperor Habanero, details, price and how to buy
“Do you hate your family and your job? Are you remortgaged? The last time you ate Mexican food did it give you IBS? If so, then our statistics suggest you're overwhelmingly likely to buy a sensible four-door family SUV with a vaguely peppy name. And here it is.” — Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.
The Habanero appears to be based primarily on the 2003-2008 Lexus RX but the rear quarter window is no longer kinked upwards as on the Lexus, but is more similar to the 2009-2015 Toyota Venza.
The Emperor Habanero is more of a family SUV that focuses more on stability and luxury than performance. Although the car isn't very fast with a top speed of 104.75 mph (168.58 km/h), it does handle well and can take nice sharp turns.
The Habanero is an All Wheel Drive vehicle that has a 5-speed gearbox. The car can be bought from the Southern S.A. Super Autos website for $42,000 in GTA 5 and GTA Online. There aren't many exceptional modifications, and the car doesn't come off as too flashy either.
Is the Emperor Habanero worth buying?
