The Emperor Habanero is a four-door mid-size crossover SUV found in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Habanero appears to be based primarily on the 2003-2008 Lexus RX (a rebadge of the Japanese Toyota Harrier), but it is slightly bulkier and sits lower to the ground, resembling the Toyota Venza. The wheels resemble the design on the hybrid version of the former (RX 400h). Noticeable differences from the Lexus are front turn signal location (bottom edge as opposed to top corners), rear license plate location (bumper as opposed to trunk lid), and tail-lamps (red as opposed to silver). It may have the tail lights reassembling 2005-2007 Mitsubishi Outlander's tail lights.
The interior of the vehicle bears a likeness to that of an Imponte DF8-90. The Habanero is equipped with a GPS system with a male voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Habanero assumes the same design as in GTA IV, but the rear quarter window is no longer kinked upwards as on the Lexus, but rather straightened as on the Venza.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Habanero is powered by a numb-feeling Inline-4 with a modeled Turbocharger, paired to a 5 speed gearbox in an front engine, all wheel drive (50% front, 50% rear) configuration. Borrowing its specifications from the Lexus RX, the Habanero focuses more on stability and luxury rather than performance, leaving acceleration below average, with a decent top speed. Although it sports an AWD configuration, off-roading in this vehicle leaves much to be desired, as sliding and spin-outs are common, and the ground clearance is minimal at best. Braking is below average, due in part to constant front wheel lockup. Handling at high speeds is fair, though the suspension does not perform as well as what would be expected. At slow speeds, it's far too soft leading to body roll, while at high speeds it is far too firm and unforgiving. Its durability also has much to be desired from a vehicle of its size, and the engine will begin smoking after about three to five severe frontal crashes. With this said, the Habanero is one of the least desirable vehicles to drive in GTA IV. It lacks the durability of trucks and certain other SUVs, as well as the speed of any sedan or two-door.
The GTA IV rendition shares the sound with the Minivan.

Grand Theft Auto V
Again, the Habanero performs the same as in GTA IV, having almost the same performance. Top speed and handling is slightly increased, but it is still outclassed by most AWD vehicles and resistance is the same. The vehicle has a tendency to lift the inside wheels under high speed cornering.
The player may notice that the Habanero is fitted with a modeled Turbocharger by default. This also applies to the Seminole, Huntley S and Dubsta 6x6. Note that this will not affect performance, and is purely cosmetic, unless the player purchases a Turbo modification at Los Santos Customs.

Trivia
General
- A Habanero is a type of chili, in fact, the name might be inspired by the Porsche Cayenne, also a crossover SUV, since it is also a type of chili pepper. The Rocoto and the Serrano, two other SUVs in the game, are also named after peppers.
- The default radio stations in the Habanero are:
- GTA IV: Jazz Nation Radio 108.5 or Fusion FM.
- Episodes from Liberty City: Vice City FM or Self-Actualization FM.
- GTA V: Lowdown FM or Space 103.2.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- If the boot of the Habanero falls off, the rear lights will still work regardless. This is most likely a glitch.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Some Habaneros can be seen in the TV show "Kung Fu Rainbow Lazerforce".
