The Maibatsu MonstroCiti is the new king in the off-road class after the GTA Online San Andreas Mercenaries update

The Maibatsu MonstroCiti is a two-seater off-road car with a boxy design. The front of the car is muscular and big, and the rear end is somewhat flat, giving a hatchback vibe. Overall it is a compact size car but has more power and performance.

While the engine model is unknown, many players have reported that Rockstar Games has implemented a new design. It also has a five-speed transmission box that controls all four wheels at the same time.

The stock Maibatsu MonstroCiti is a powerful machine with good speed and control. However, GTA 5: Expanded and Enhanced version players can take it to the Los Santos Car Meet and apply Hao's Special Works Performance Upgrades. The HSW upgrades unlock several new features, turning it into a beast.

When fully upgraded with normal mods, the car can reach a top speed of 109.75 mph or 176.63 km/h. However, with HSW upgrades, it increases to 135.75 mph or 218.47 km/h.

Surprisingly, Rockstar Games has also included Imani Tech features for the vehicle. However, it only provides the Remote Control Unit and the Missile Lock-On Jammer, with no armor plating. Regardless, these features make the Maibatsu MonstroCiti faster and safer than most other cars in GTA Online.

It has a high stance with enough ground clearance to get around most of the obstacles in the wild. The powerful engine and upgrades also help the car to drive in steep climbs. Although it does not have aftermarket spoilers, the handling is sharp and keeps the vehicle stable.

Interested players can buy the GTA Online DLC vehicle for $1,485,000 from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website.
