The Moonbeam is a four-door minivan featured in every game of the franchise since Grand Theft Auto III (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto Advance, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V). It was added to Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Lowriders update for the enhanced versions only, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. It is manufactured by Declasse in the HD Universe.
Influence[]
3D Universe[]
Between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Moonbeam is straightforwardly modeled after a 1985—1994 Chevrolet Astro/1985—1994 GMC Safari, albeit featuring tall tail lights. The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City version's tail lights are similar to those found on 1992–1994 Ford Econoline vans, while other renditions have single red lights.
Grand Theft Auto IV and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto Online, the Moonbeam (this time with a Declasse manufacturer badge) is still based on a 1985–1994 Chevrolet Astro/1985–1994 GMC Safari, but the front end has been greatly altered, incorporating more realistic detailing and design cues. The Moonbeam also features major design clues from the first-generation Dodge Caravan/first-generation Plymouth Voyager SE, as seen in the headlights, side skirts, and trunk, but with the license plate moved to the rear bumper. The tail lights somewhat resemble those of the Jeep Liberty (KK).
Design[]
3D Universe[]
The Moonbeam is generally depicted as a bulky 1980s van, but minor cosmetic changes have been made throughout its appearances. The Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories renditions of the Moonbeam features a split grille, a smaller front and rear reverse lights attached to the rear bumper, while the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition, albeit similar in design, features a single grille, larger front and rear amber lights attached to the rear bumper, along with a unique "MOONBEAM" badging on the rear compartment door. The Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas rendition is based upon the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City model, but the badge is absent and the rear single red lights from the Grand Theft Auto III rendition are now used again.
In all 3D Universe titles except for GTA Vice City Stories, the Moonbeam has a primary color that is applied to its whole body, while the bumpers are either shades of gray (GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories) or simply the same color as the rest of the body (GTA San Andreas). Only GTA Vice City Stories features bumpers that have a proper secondary color.
During the development of GTA III, the van was originally known as the "Aster", a clear reference to the Chevrolet Astro name. The van is depicted in the Capital Autos website.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Design-wise, the Moonbeam remains identical, but features various distinctive details around. The front end of the van features a black strip and rectangle turn signals on the bumper, along with a lower extension and a plate holder. The grille and headlight setup remains similar to the 3D Universe renditions, but incorporates a dual set of headlights located in black housings. The hood area is relatively small and features silver lettering displaying the manufacturer's name.
The sides remain relatively similar, but the ride height is a bit lowered and incorporates site steps and silver badging. On the cabin area, the side and rear windows are permanently tinted, a trait also shared with the Minivan.
The rear of the van is more or less identical; the tail lights are smaller in comparison to the 3D Universe iterations and lacks the extra bumper lights, but makes up by featuring silver badging displaying the van's name and the manufacturer. The bumper has a black upper side and a central section for the plate holder.
The Moonbeam can spawn with a total of seven optional extras, being:
- No side steps, or with a side steps also serving as an extension of the main body.
- A stock roof or an elevated "Super Streamline" aero roof along with similar side steps serving as an extension of the main body.
- A stock roof with a set of two black luggage bars along with an identical side step.
- A rather utilitarian looking set of metal side steps.
- A set of a ladder and a rear-mounted continental tire sporting the Declasse logo.
- Rear quarter panels in place of the windows between the C and D pillars.
- A standard black grille or a custom billet grille covering the headlights. The custom billet grille can only spawn along with rear quarter panels without the use of game modifications.
With the default coding of the Moonbeam's extras' flags in Grand Theft Auto IV, the vehicle will always spawn with one of the first four extras, while at the same time optionally sporting one of the latter three extras (with the exception of the rear quarter panels and the billet grille – these ones always appear together, resulting in one of the first four extras and two of the latter three extras).
Most of the lower half of the bodywork is painted in a primary color around the vehicle, while the upper half and the lower trimmings of the vehicle are painted with a secondary color. It uses a set of star-shaped rims.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto Online, the Moonbeam returns with the same design and features. However, the improved graphics makes the car's overall appearance cleaner, with newer light textures and lack of tinted windows (although one can apply window tints through mod shops). Its interior uses the "Cavalcade" interior textures and dials.
Unlike its previous iteration, the Moonbeam no longer has the accessories and instead, they were carried over to its custom variant. The hinged rear passenger doors found on previous iterations have been replaced with sliding doors; therefore, the handles are now located at the front of the doors. Paint scheme remains identical to its GTA IV iteration, with the lower half of the bodywork painted in a primary color around the vehicle and the upper half and lower trimmings of the vehicle painted with a secondary color. The van retains the same wheel design, being similar to the "Five Star" rims available in Los Santos Customs.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
Moonbeams between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories all possess similar handling properties. Performance is poor, due to the under-powered engines, rear wheel drive layouts (However, Moonbeams in GTA III and Vice City are front-wheel drive), heavy bodies, soft suspension, and high center of gravity (leading to a tendency to flip on rough terrains). As a result, the Moonbeam is generally unsuitable for high-speed driving and has little practical use aside from its fundamental function as a mode of transport. In GTA San Andreas it is one of the worst vehicles, as not only does the vehicle have bad performance, it also has a bad build quality and low durability. The Moonbeam only holds a maximum of four occupants.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The GTA IV rendition of the Moonbeam is powered by a modeled V8 engine and features a rear wheel drive layout. However, its lack of power makes this characteristic negligible; the Moonbeam drives as slowly as its predecessors, and still suffers from understeer. Frustratingly, the Moonbeam fails to withstand a large amount of damage, as its large size would suggest.
The vehicle shares the same engine sound as other vans, namely the Pony and the Burrito.

Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Moonbeam is powered by an FR single overhead camshaft V8 capable of moving it at an average top speed. Since the vehicle has a minivan-style body, it weighs a bit less than other industrial-style vans, and as a result has decent acceleration. Unfortunately, this costs it in terms of durability and traction. Poor weight distribution and the high, soft suspension causes heavy oversteer while cornering. Even though the Moonbeam is a van, it is classified by the game as a muscle car for races.
Unlike other vehicles similar to its size, such as the Minivan, the Moonbeam's lively engine and transmission work hard at propelling the vehicle off the line quickly, resulting in a long burnout from the rear wheels and yielding an impressive 0–60 time for its size. Although its handling is quick and responsive; unlike other vehicles similar to its size, the Moonbeam is prone to suffer from extreme oversteer during hard cornering, even at relatively low speeds. Traction is acceptable given its RWD drivetrain, and braking is on par with other vehicles it competes against. The Moonbeam is a decent getaway vehicle in terms of its top speed and acceleration thanks to its brisk engine and transmission, but players should be very cautious while cornering hard, especially during a hot pursuit.
The Moonbeam shares a similar sound with sports sedans like the Tailgater and the Schafter.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The Moonbeam may get its name due to the real-life variant Chevrolet Astro, as they both share names with astronomical themes. This is also further proven by the beta name, the Aster.
- The default rims of the Moonbeam in the HD Universe are almost identical to the rims manufactured for the real life car Ferrari F40.
Grand Theft Auto III[]
- The Moonbeam was originally planned to have sliding rear doors, although technical limitations in GTA III made it impossible.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]
- The Moonbeam in GTA Vice City, along with the game's Bobcat, is one of the earliest vehicles in the series to physically depict its name, sporting a "MOONBEAM" badge on its trunk lid.
- In the beta for GTA Vice City, the Moonbeam was originally implied, just as planned originally for GTA III, to have sliding rear doors. However, the limitations still existed. Sliding doors were not added to the Moonbeam until GTA Online.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- There appears to be a typo in the secondary color of the second color set of the vehicle in the files: 117 is tied to a garnet red color, but 227 is not tied to anything (as the color range is between 0 and 126). It is possibly meant to be 117, assuming the car is supposed to use monotone colors, as all the other color sets have a secondary color that is identical to the primary color.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- The Moonbeam is equipped with the "door ajar" bong when the driver's door is opened.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The addition of the custom variant and its modification options in GTA Online references the Astro/Safari van's popularity in the lowrider scene.
- Unless the player owns a regular Moonbeam as a personal vehicle, it will not be listed in muscle car races.
- The custom variant however, is. This is also the only vehicle in the Lowriders update that is not included in the creator.
