Police siren set.
The Unmarked Cruiser is essentially identical to the Police Cruiser and the Sheriff Cruiser, being based on a 1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
Operated by the Los Santos Police Department, the vehicle is distinctive for its slick-top design, unlike its marked counterparts, and instead, it features LED light bars inside the cabin, similar to the FIB Buffalo and the FIB Granger. The rear emergency lights inside the vehicle actually have a different shade of red and blue from other LED lights in the game.
As the model is taken from the Police Cruiser, the vehicle is equipped with a push bar and folded search lights. The vehicles comes in various colors.
The vehicle comes with Light Smoke window tint as default.[1]
Entering this vehicle awards the player a Carbine Rifle.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
According to the Rockstar Games Social Club website and handling files, the Unmarked Cruiser has similar performance to the Police Cruiser, which means a decent top speed with average handling, decent braking, average acceleration, and great durability thanks to its body-on-chassis construction. Apart from a slightly higher top speed due to reduced drag, the vehicle performs identically to its marked counterpart.
Like all the Stanier-based cars, it is powered by a twin-cam Inline-4 laid longitudinally, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in an front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration.

Locations
Grand Theft Auto V
The Unmarked Cruiser is, among the Stanier-based cars, the rarest vehicle, appearing on certain locations and under restricted circumstances.
- One way to obtain the vehicle is during Barry's Grass Roots side mission as Franklin (specifically Grass Roots - The Pickup). The player has to go to the highlighted green marker on the map where two Unmarked Cruisers- one blue and one gray- will be waiting to ambush the player. The player should then kill the cops and save it at a safehouse or garage. The police will not pursue the player until they enter the vehicle required by Barry, meaning that obtaining the Unmarked Cruiser in this fashion is incredibly easy.
- It is best to kill the occupants of the vehicle, enter it, fail the mission in any way, then quit the mission. This can be done easily by placing a Sticky Bomb on the truck and detonating it once the player is inside the vehicle. The player will still be inside the vehicle after quitting the mission.
- The vehicle will spawn during the Property Management side mission for Smoke on the Water (again, as Franklin). When Franklin is asked to drive a Smoke on the Water van, he will occasionally be chased by an Unmarked Cruiser. If the player has to deliver the car to the shop and there is no time limit countdown on the screen, they can be sure there is a Cruiser parked nearby which can be obtained if they take out the two officers inside.
- 2-4 officers patrol the train station in a black Unmarked Cruiser at night from 22:00 - 04:00. Note that this location is also shared with other police cars, therefore it might not always spawn.
- Can rarely be seen pursuing NPC-controlled cars near the LSPD Auto Impound.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Ambushes the player in certain cargo missions when reaching and entering the cargo vehicle.
- Hidden during a Nightclub warehouse sales dead-drop mission. Two unmarked cruisers will ambush the delivery at the intended drop and will pursue the player with a four-star wanted level upon being attacked with the IAA agents inside.
- Spawned when the Player's nightclub gets raided. These vehicles can be entered during and after the mission ends.
- Seen during "Defend Product" missions where the International Affairs Agency raid one of the player's businesses. These vehicles are scripted to be inaccessible by the player.
- Can be seen parked at the drop-off point at each Operation Paper Trail mission.
Rewards
Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
- The Unmarked Cruiser gives the player a Carbine Rifle upon entry.
Trivia
Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
- Uniformed officers patrol in this vehicle around the train station, which means it is sometimes used as an unmarked traffic enforcement vehicle.
- Along with the VCPD Cheetah, it is one of the few law enforcement vehicles which does not use police schemes. Instead, it will spawn with basic traffic colors.
