How does Cheval Picador perform in GTA Online?
The Cheval Picador is one of the few utility pickup trucks in GTA Online that has decent acceleration and top speed when compared to street cars. It can reach a maximum speed of 102.50 mph (164.96 km/h) down a straight lane.
Its all-wheel drive layout gives it the best traction as well as launch speed. The vehicle also comes with a soft suspension, making it one of the best cars for off-roading.
As tested by Broughty, the Cheval Picador has a record lap time of 1:17.878, which shows that it provides an overall average performance on a circuit.
