The Newsvan is, as implied, a news van in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Newsvan is designed as a news van for SAN News, with a satellite dish on the roof, and its rear compartment containing crudely rendered broadcasting equipment as well as a chair.

The overall appearance of the van comes from a Burrito, but is longer, has a side door, and a slightly different side design and front design. As a result of being a vehicle owned by a news agency, the Newsvan is prominently white with a blue stripe on the middle, with the "SAN News" logos on it.

Unlike the TV Van from Grand Theft Auto 2, it has no special function in the game (despite having a satellite dish), nor being used outside special circumstances.

In the Xbox and early Xbox 360 versions, the Newsvan appears with VCN markings instead of SAN News markings.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The performance of the Newsvan is moderate-to-excellent, with a moderate acceleration with good torque, a good top speed, good hill climbing capabilities, and good durability. Due to its height, however, it has a tendency to flip if driven over rough terrains. The Newsvan's braking is very good.
