Template:Infobox vehicles
The Cheval Fugitive is a four-door sedan in Grand Theft Auto V.
Design
This car features very aggressive formations which appear to have been inspired by Australian-American design styling found on the Pontiac G8, Holden VE Commodore, Holden VF Commodore, Chevrolet SS, sixth generation Chevrolet Caprice/Caprice PPV and Holden WM Statesman/Holden WM/WN Caprice. This likely based on the real life cars using the GM Zeta platform. The car's design may also be influenced by the tenth generation Chevrolet Impala.This car also appears to have a few characteristics deriving from the Volvo S60.
At the base of the front bumper sporting influence is very prevalent. The front bumper features a main central vent whose base appears to have a CFRP insert. Either side of this vent there are two, less tall vents, whose inner edges are parallel to the outer edges of the central vent. Above the central vent there is a large main grille with chrome edges and a horizontal chrome strip splitting it into two halves, much like that on the eighth generation Chevrolet Malibu. The headlamp units have curved lower edges which almost continue the curvature of the bottom edge of the grille. The bonnet/hood has a main elevated area, whose edges run from a top corner of the main grille to their corresponding windscreen corner. The car features rear view mirrors whose outer shells are finished in CFRP.
Performance
Overview
In general, the Fugitive is a great performer in the non-luxury mid-size sedan class. It's top speed is matched with that of the Dominator, not to mention great acceleration. Handling is nice, although it understandably understeers at very high speeds. The performance, along with the fact the Fugitive is a four-door makes for a great drive-by or getaway car.

Locations
GTA V
- A white Fugitive spawns in the northwest of Grand Senora Desert. (map )
- Available for $24,000 from Southernsanandreassuperautos.com.
- If one were to replay the mission Blitz Play, the Fugitive is used as the getaway vehicle. It is found just north of Cypress Flats, parked in a riverside parking lot.
Trivia
- Southernsanandreassuperautos.com states that there is a police version of the Fugitive, referencing the Holden Commodore, which the Fugitive is based on, yet there is no police car based on it found in the game. Interestingly, the police scanner audio files mention "Police Fugitive", meaning there was indeed one in the beta.
- Probably the police variant was scrapped once the Interceptor came on. Both seems as average size sedans and posseses aggresive looks.
- The Fugitive effectively replaces Imponte DF8-90 from Grand Theft Auto IV, since both cars are sports-oriented mid-size sedans.
- It is mistakenly referred to as Vapid Fugitive on the website since the 1.06 update. A Newswire article from 23rd December 2013 also refers to it under this name [1].
- After the 1.10 patch, Rockstar acknowledged the mistake made on the 1.06 update on the Southernsandreassuperautos.com website and they fixed it so it is now referred to again as "Cheval Fugitive".
- The default radio station for the Fugitive is Non Stop Pop 100.7.
- Despite the car being purely a modern mid-size sedan, it oddly has a carbureted engine and it shares the muscle car engine noise with the Picador and Sabre Turbo, possibly because it is based of vehicles such as the Chevrolet SS and Holden Commodore, which commonly known as "muscle sedans", or sedans powered by large-displacement V8 engines.
- Its engine noise is somewhat reminiscent of 3D Universe versions of BF Injection, Sabre Turbo, Sandking, and Hotknife.
- The car fairly resembles the Forelli Exsess from Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
