The Solair is a four-door station wagon featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City. It is manufactured by Willard in the HD Universe.

Design[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

The Solair in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas resembles a second generation Ford Taurus station wagon. However, the rear of the car also has a certain likeness to a Volvo 940 wagon or the station wagon variant of the VR model Holden Commodore.

The front of the Solair is very similar to that of the Stratum, another station wagon. However, the Stratum has a more streamlined form, smaller tail lights and a gas cap on the right, opposed to the Solair's gas cap on the left.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Solair resembles a 2000-2005 Mercury Sable Wagon, as evidenced by the front fascia and chrome trim; the taillights appear to be inspired from a ninth generation Lincoln Continental, with the D-pillar faintly resembling that of the second generation Nissan Primera estate. The car bears "EP2000R" badges on the side.

The Solair is equipped with a GPS system with a female voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu. The Solair mostly spawns with a single color scheme, although one of the combinations reveals that the secondary color is applied on the sides, like a large stripe.

Performance[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

Despite its standard appearance, the Solair possesses above average performance, with good cornering and grip (complemented by soft suspensions), moderately good brakes, good acceleration and top speed (quite surprisingly higher than the Stratum's) and average endurance. Its suspension configuration, however, may lead to a higher risk of rollovers if the vehicle encounters bumps or uneven terrain when being steered.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]

The Solair is a hefty station wagon, powered by a V8 engine coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in RWD configuration. Acceleration is mediocre, slightly slower than the Stratum. Top speed, however, is slightly higher, thanks to a relatively high-torque engine. Handling-wise, the Solair retains much of its inspiration's characteristics, being quite sporty for a full-sized wagon, with good posture in the bends and relatively level cornering.

The suspension is fairly soft, leading to body roll, though very little oversteer can be felt. Crash deformation, thanks to the heavy chassis and frame, is well above average, sustaining much damage before failing; though engine build quality is unimpressive, with it failing after only a few impacts. Overall the Solair is better suited towards ramming and drive-bys than high-speed applications.

Oversights[]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]

  • The front plate of the Solair has a visual bug, having the plate characters bigger than the license plate itself.
    • A glitch in the PS4 version has the front license plate sometimes encounter a glitch where the plate has a blank license plate template stuck in the middle. However, normal Solairs can appear with a normal license plate complete with a correct template.
    • This issue was fixed in The Definitive Edition of the game.
  • Due to a graphical error (confirmed for PS2), during foggy weather, the exhaust is not on the muffler, but instead appears to be stuck in the bumper. The exhaust's position depends on the weather, though this might not always happen. Another bug with the exhaust is present on PC; when the player takes the car to a mod shop and resprays it, the exhaust will move inside the bumper, in a similar fashion to the PlayStation 2 bug.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]

  • If the Solair is taken to a Pay 'n' Spray and painted dark green, then it will enter a paint loop where it can only be resprayed to dark green and two shades of light green. This likely occurs because the dark green paintjob is listed twice in the color list, with two shades of light green in between, thus confusing the game engine when respraying. The same glitch exists for the Marbelle.
  • Despite being a Willard vehicle, the Solair uses Albany logos on the steering wheel and where the foot pedals are located.

Radio Stations[]

The Solair has the following defaultdefaultstations dictated by the vehicle, not set by any previous NPC occupant's preference radio station(s):

The Solair's wheels design was originally meant to be carried over from some cars in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, such as the Taxi. This is proven by the unnamed auto shop[1] seen in Redsands West in Las Venturas, which sports oversized decorative wheels on its rooftop. Those wheels use the said design from previous titles, with their textures being internally named solairwheel64 and solairtyre64.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • The Solair's name is a play on solar, the light and heat emitted from the sun.
    • Its wheel design resembles a stylized sun, further playing into the solar theme.
  • The name "solair" also refers to a famous porch chair design, known for its curvy, concave design, unlike the Solair.
