Kuruma (Armored) (Grand Theft Auto Online)

The Karin Kuruma (Armored) is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Heists Update.

The vehicle is essentially a Kuruma fitted with bulletproof armor panels on the roof and the cabin and protective frames over the lights, as well as bullet resistant windows that rarely shatter under small arms fire.

The car received minor cosmetic changes on the body, where the badges and the roof brake lights were removed, and the original chrome details were replaced by blacked-out ones. The rear bumper has big-bore exhausts and a spoiler with bolted-on details on the sides, while the interior features a roll cage.

Colour distribution is similar to the normal Kuruma, having a primary colour for the body and the interior stitching. However, the secondary colour affects the armor plating, the protective frames on the lights, the details on the front fenders and the roll cage. The wheel design is shared with the normal Kuruma, albeit painted in black.

Why This Car Rocks

 * 1) The windows of this car come with armored plate so enemies can't hurt the players when inside in the car making missions easier as long as the doors won't come loose.
 * 2) The speed is fast.
 * 3) It handles very well thanks to its 4WD output.
 * 4) The engine sound is neat
 * 5) The design looks great for a armored Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
 * 6) The price is fair.
 * 7) Unlike Duke O'Death and many later similar armored vehicles like this it is available (in fact, it was available) even for PS3 and Xbox 360 players before the servers in the said consoles are shut down in December 16, 2021.
 * 8) If starting GTA Online in the Expanded and Enhanced versions (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S), you start with $4,000,000 allowing you to get the Kuruma (Armored) as your first ever car. Starting the Career Mode as Nightclub owner it makes winning money far easier without even needing to purchase Shark cards.
 * 9) It is a good choice for beginners especially to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The tiny holes located in the vehicle can still harm the players.
 * 2) One single explosive towards the Kuruma and it gets destroyed.
 * 3) Players can't shoot in the back of this car due to the armored windows.
 * 4) Players can't throw grenades or explosives also due to the armored windows. Even without the doors, players can't still throw grenades or explosives.
