For a similarly named vehicle, see Blista Compact.
The Blista is a minivan featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and a 3-door hatchback in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is manufactured by Dinka in the HD Universe.
Design
3D Universe
The Blista resembles a Dodge Caravan (Third Generation) in appearance, with the headlights and grille resembling a Chrysler Voyager (Fourth Generation), depicted as a modern minivan in contrast to the older Moonbeam. Despite the Blista's minivan design, it can only accommodate three passengers and one driver, the same as any four-door vehicle. Its name, rather unpleasantly, sounds like a portmanteau of the words "blister" and possibly "Honda" (probably referring to the first generation Honda Odyssey, even though it has a closer resemblance to the Dodge Caravan).
The Blista spawns with a primary color on the upper side and a secondary color on the lower side, rear-view mirrors and window trim.
During development of GTA III, the Blista was originally known as the "Space".
Grand Theft Auto V
The Blista (Japanese: ブリスタ, Burisuta) returns in Grand Theft Auto V, which has been completely redesigned into a three-door hatchback (more specifically, a B-segment), but still retains traits reminiscent of its predecessor, the Blista Compact, with sport coupe styling and elements such as dual exhaust pipes. It is primarily based on both the European and Asian third generation Honda Civic Type R hatchback, while the front end is loosely derived from a 2006-2011 US spec Civic sedan for its headlights, and the 2009- Volkswagen Scirocco R for its sides. The Blista also shares styling elements with the fifth generation Honda City, Honda CR-Z, and Honda Fit/Jazz. The rear mostly resembles the Volkswagen Golf R and Mitsubishi Colt to a lesser extent. The overall shape and size of the car resembles the 2006-2013 Toyota Yaris/Vitz hatchback, judging by its rounded profile on the roof.
The Blista is more suited to younger drivers of Los Santos due to its compact shape and its sporty design. The front end of the vehicle is relatively small, featuring a plastic grille and circular headlamps. The intakes are covered by plastic horizontal bars, and the bonnet has a small scoop. On the sides, carbon-fibre mirror shells can be seen mounted over black frames, followed by plastic trim around the windows. The door handles are finished in chrome. The rear of the car is predominated by the bulky bumper and the black diffuser, holding the two exhaust tubes. The tail lamps have a circular shape on the rear and arrow-pointed edges on the sides, along with a small spoiler over the rear window. A silver "BLISTA" badge and the manufacturer emblems can be seen on both ends.
The Blista only uses a primary colour, which applies on the whole bodywork and the interior stitching. While there is a secondary colour in the files (set to black in all colour sets), it does not seem to be applied on the car. The vehicle uses eight-spoke rims wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance
3D Universe
The Blista is considerably faster and more agile than its size and appearance would suggest. It is driven by its engine in a front wheel drive layout. This leads to a degree of understeer at higher speeds, but less than one would expect for a vehicle of its size. Remarkably, its handling statistics are very similar to the Kuruma and Taxi, two agile front wheel drive sedans. It is possible to get the Blista to slide with the handbrake to the point where it looks like drifting, which is helped by its front wheel drive in GTA III.
In GTA III, the Blista has the same engine noise as the Landstalker, while in GTA LCS, its engine noise is similar to low-performance cars, such as the Manana, Idaho, and Perennial.

Grand Theft Auto V
The car has a lot more power than its relatively small body shape would suggest, with a top speed close to that of the Buffalo, and parring the Issi with handling performance. Its light body frame, however, does not cope with collisions as well as most vehicles, with three or four major crashes disabling the car. The car's front engine, front wheel drive configuration causes the car to understeer at speed, which, in an inexperienced driver's hands can be disastrous in a police chase or in a situation where maneuverability is key at speeds.
The car's suspension is also somewhat stiff, which in urban areas creates responsive steering. Off-road, however, this causes the car to rebound off of obstacles and variations in the road surface, making the car unsafe. The low ground clearance also causes an issue if the car is taken out of its comfort zone. Due to the compact size of the car, the wheels can become stuck in the wheel well after a few collisions or a bad landing after a jump.
Due to all the weight of the car being situated in the front, the car also tends to nose dive after leaving the ground, so in situations like a jump, the driver must be very attentive, because if not, the car will hit the ground nose first and flip uncontrollably, quite possibly exploding.
The engine model is very undetailed itself, but the cover appears to be a V8, laid longitudinally and powering the front wheels.

Trivia
General
A Blista in Manhunt 2.
- A vehicle resembling the Blista can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2, but the front end is more reminiscent of a Chrysler PT Cruiser.
- The default radio stations for the Blista are:
- GTA V: Non Stop Pop FM.
3D Universe
- Due to a possible coding error, the Blista cannot be picked up by the crusher in GTA III; the game responds with "Crane cannot lift this vehicle.", despite the crane having no trouble lifting a Coach into the crusher. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Blista is able to be crushed, although the crane cannot pick up larger vehicles.
Grand Theft Auto V
- The Blista in GTA V is featured in various JiffiRent adverts in the city, with the quote "See San Andreas in a Jiffi". Oddly, the Dinka logo cannot be seen on the grille of the car in the advertisement, implying that it was a beta model.
- In the first person view, if the player looks down towards the right front wheel and steers, they will notice the wheel actually comes through the inside fascia of the car. This is most likely a minor visual glitch.
- The Blista is called the 旅行家 or Traveller in the international Chinese release.
