Template:Infobox vehicles
The Karin Dilettante is a hybrid electric four-door liftback featured in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
The Dilettante is a compact four-door liftback that is largely based on the second generation Toyota Prius sold between 2003-2009 in Japan and 2000-2003 in European and American markets. However, it has headlights from a Citroën C4, and a body shape that is more similar to the Honda Insight, with its lower roofline over the rear seat area. The taillights are very similar to that of the Buick Rendezvous.
The vehicle itself has a large windscreen which is at a similar angle as the hood. The styling is very uniform, with many straight lines flowing throughout the body of the car, uninterrupted. However, the flared wheel arches are very exaggerated which give the car depth. According to advertisements in GTA IV, a new Dilettante starts at $39,999.
The Dilettante is said to have an interior dashboard screen, similar to the real Toyota Prius. However, there is no actual dashboard screen in-game. The Dilettante is equipped with a GPS system with a male voice, but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Dilettante is powered by an electric motor and an internal combustion engine at the same time in with a 5 speed automatic in GTA IV; and an electric motor at very low speeds, then an internal combustion engine for most of the time with a CVT as standard. Despite having two sources of power, the Dilettante accelerates very slowly, and transmission choice doesn't make a difference. It has a top speed which is among the lowest in the game. The Dilettante, due to the dreadful turning radius, understeers at moderate-to-high speeds. The suspension is fairly soft, thus allowing the car to bounce around on rough roads.
GTA IV Overview
Template:GTA IV Vehicle Stats
Grand Theft Auto V
The car in GTA V is noticeably quicker than that found in GTA IV. However, the car is more managable than the Bollokan Prairie, especially when turning at low to moderate speeds. The combustion engine is also more noticeable in terms of sound, with a unique, almost 'odd firing', roary tone, alongside its single speed (CVT) gearbox.
It has considerably weak bodywork, as even low speed crashes can result in major body deformation. It is also severely affected by bullets. It is noticeably more rigid in GTA V than its GTA IV counterpart.

Patrol Dilettante
In GTA V, Merryweather Security personnel drive Dilettantes with unique white paint jobs with blue stripes and the word "Patrol" painted on the sides, as well as the Merryweather emblem. It features a Wiwang two way radio in its dashboard, absent in the standard version (which is also used by the GTA V Police Cruisers).
In Online, it cannot be insured or stored in the player's garage. It can only be repaired, and the only modifications for it are explosives, making it a worthless vehicle to modify. It can be sold to Los Santos Customs for up to $2,500.
Notable Owners
- Lazlow Jones owns a red Dilettante seen in the mission Fame or Shame. Although its engine was supposedly overheated and running out of battery, if Michael gets into the car, and the player switch into another protagonist and switch back, the Dilettante will suddenly be back to normal and drivable.
- Big Boy, the DJ of Radio Los Santos, owns a modified Dilettante that has Hydraulics.
- Merryweather owns white and blue Dilettantes with a "patrol" decal as their security cars.

- GTA V: Lowdown FM or Space 103.2.
- In Italian, dilettante means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur.

- The statement about toxic batteries for the Dilettante refers to the Toyota Prius having their batteries causing damage to the enviroment during mining and processing of the battery cells.
- Unlike other vehicles advertised on the radio, the Dilettante is the first advertised vehicle to be made available to the player.
