This car is a bit weird - despite its size and weight, it's surprisingly fast and maneuverable, resulting in one of the nimblest vans in San Paro, which, along with its high HP and mass, make for a very effective vehicles for mission purposes. It does have its downsides though - the front wheel drive and heavy front mean that your back is lighter on the ground which results in grip loss, it's easy to flip if you're not careful, getting stuck on low walls is just another day at work, and the back doors are built so that its passengers cannot fire over the roof. Either way, it's a good van, and is not even half bad for ramraiding.

NOTE: Enforcers can get a cross-faction version of the Espacio with a custom made kit when maxing Ernst 'Mule' Templeton.

Pros
  • Good acceleration and top speed
  • Surprisingly nimble for a big car
  • Big cargo size
  • Can easily survive OSMAW hits
  • Lots of space for customization
Cons
  • Front Wheel Drive: front heavy, back end easily loses grip; hard to push obstacles from a standing start
  • Loses speed quickly when cornering
  • Players firing from back seats have limited visibility and cannot fire over the roof
  • High centre of mass: easy to flip when hit by cars in the same weight class
