The Vapid Radius is a compact SUV in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design
The Radius is heavily based on both the 2011 Ford Edge and late model Dodge Caliber; however, the rear lacks the rear-mounted license plate that the Edge has in the middle. Although the Radius bears resemblance to both American cars, its rear-end seems to be based upon the Spanish Seat Toledo (Mk.3). The frontal area is dominated mostly by the chrome grill with the central mounted Vapid logo, and with the grille continuing until the end of the frontal area, where it splits the headlamps. The Radius is available with two-tone paint jobs at Los Santos Customs. The side of the car features a triangular air intake at the top of the front wheel wells. The wheel wells bulge outwards, and the side has no character lines, so the side design is plain.

GTA V
The Radius has a high output V6 engine coupled with a 6 speed gearbox. It also sports active AWD, which in turn gives it excellent acceleration. The Radius sits very low to the ground and has a decently stiff suspension giving it sporty handling for an SUV. This car is a good example of a sleeper, being underwhelming on the exterior but having really good performance on the road. With a few tuning parts, it can compete with sportier cars like the Sultan and Blista.

The crossover's 3.6L V6 engine has a grunty and unique sound with plenty of torque. A notable drawback to its performance is its transmission which will only shift at very high RPM. Only a slight slope on a road is necessary to make it hang and refuse to shift.
