The Declasse Lifeguard is an emergency vehicle appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
The Lifeguard is a modified version of the Granger used by the Los Santos Lifeguard and patrols the coastline of Los Santos.
The Lifeguard SUV features a yellow body color painted over white (which can be seen when the doors are open), with the text "LIFEGUARD" printed in red on its sides and rear, as well as Los Santos Fire Department markings. The design strongly resembles the California Lifeguard livery.
There are roof racks which hold an unusable surfboard and two rescue cans. The front roof rack also has a Traffic Advisor, which can be activated along with the siren when the horn button is clicked, in the same way as all emergency vehicles with lights and sirens. The Lifeguard also has Light Smoke window tint applied as default.[1]

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
Overall, the Lifeguard has performance on par to the stock Granger, and slightly below par found on the police equivalents of the vehicle. The vehicle's handling is superior in its class, however, acceleration and top speed are sluggish unlike the rest of the SUV class. The braking tends to fault, and sometimes causes the vehicle to lose some control, especially when already cornering, or attempting to recover after crashing, or even after a control-loss.
The vehicle is powered by what looks like a V8, however, the in-game model is a turbocharged twin-cam inline-4, with a 5-speed gearbox. The vehicle has a RWD drivetrain, in contrast with the stock (and police) variants, which have an AWD layout, making the Lifeguard not as good off-road as its equivalents. Also, unlike all the other variants, the Lifeguard SUV can only carry four people, including the driver. This is due to the roof equipment replacing the roof rails present on all other versions.
According to the green emblems near the rear, the Lifeguard is a hybrid or at least fuel-efficient version of the Granger.
