Buffalo

Bravado · Sports

The Buffalo is one of the better-evidenced vehicles in GTA VI: the base car appears in the first trailer and in official Vice City promotional screenshots, while the Buffalo STX and the Buffalo STX Pursuit police variant show up across both trailers. That gives us three related bodystyles rather than a single ambiguous glimpse. The Buffalo has been Bravado's four-door muscle sedan since Grand Theft Auto IV, and it has quietly become the vehicle you see most often in GTA police pursuits — a role the STX Pursuit clearly continues in Leonida. For a Florida-set game it is an obvious fit; the real-world equivalent is genuinely everywhere on American highways, in civilian trim and in law enforcement livery. We hold no GTA VI performance, pricing or availability data for any Buffalo variant, and we will not estimate it. The identification here rests on the bodywork, badging and pursuit livery visible in Rockstar's own material.

GTA VI

GTA VI appearance

Buffalo-shaped four-door muscle sedans are visible in more than one piece of official Grand Theft Auto VI material, including trailer footage and Rockstar's own screenshots. The identification rests on the body — the long bonnet, short deck and squared shoulders the Buffalo has carried since Grand Theft Auto IV — rather than on anything Rockstar has said. Rockstar has not named the car, so we log it as a verified identification and nothing stronger.

Previous games

GTA history

The Buffalo arrived in Grand Theft Auto IV as Bravado's American sedan and grew into a small family across Grand Theft Auto V and Online: the standard Buffalo, the wide-arched Buffalo S and the track-focused Buffalo STX. It has also been the series' default unmarked police sedan for well over a decade, which is why versions of it tend to turn up on both sides of a chase.
