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. |

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 taken from the P11 Nissan Primera Wagon. 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 unappealing 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.

Trivia
General
- The Solair's name is a play on solar, the light and heat emitted from the sun.
- Its wheel design resembles a stylised sun, further playing into the solar theme.
- The name "solair" also refers to a famous porch chair design, known for its curvy, concave design, not unlike the Solair.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- Despite being a Willard vehicle, the Solair uses Albany logos on the steering wheel and where the foot pedals are located.
- Its interior is also derived from the Schafter, a Benefactor vehicle.
Glitches
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 front license 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 on PC, when the player takes the car to a mod shop and resprays it, the exhaust will move inside the bumper similar to in PlayStation 2.
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 is likely 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.
