The Chevalier Nyala is a four-door family sedan that serves as a dependable all-round car for daily survival. It is one of the most common cars in Knox Country, and its parts turn up almost everywhere.

The Nyala is a Standard vehicle with four seats. It takes the most widespread class of car parts, so a broken tire or brake rarely means a long search. Its engine is a little stronger than most Standard cars, and its top speed is good for a family car. The engine sits in the middle of the noise range: louder than the small hatchbacks, quieter than any truck or van. The trunk is modest but useful, and the car is fairly heavy for its class.

Few things about the Nyala stand out, and that is its strength. It is reliable, easy to repair and easy to replace. It suits a new survivor who wants a car that just works, and a small group that needs four seats. A Nyala in good shape can carry a team from the first week to the last.

Driving the Chevalier Nyala

The Nyala drives like a normal car should. It reaches a good cruising speed on open roads and keeps pace with most traffic of the old world. Its engine pulls well enough for its weight, so it climbs back to speed quickly after a turn.

The brakes are strong for a Standard car. The Nyala stops in a short distance, which matters when a crowd of zombies appears around a bend. Its weight helps it push through a single walker without losing much speed.

Off the road, the Nyala handles grass and dirt about as well as any ordinary sedan. Paved roads suit it best, and long trips across fields slow it down and wear the parts.

The engine noise is middling. It draws attention in a quiet town but far less than a pickup or a van. A performance muffler keeps it calmer still.

The body is reasonably sturdy at both ends. In a crash, the people inside get ordinary protection, better than in the small hatchbacks and the sports coupes. A hard hit still hurts, so careful driving through dense crowds is wise.

Chevalier Nyala Storage

The trunk is a fair size for a sedan. It holds a good load of canned food, tools or building supplies, though far less than a van or a pickup. The Chevalier Cerise Wagon, its station wagon cousin, carries a little more.

Each of the four seats can also hold items when nobody sits in it. A glove box near the driver keeps small things like keys, a lighter or a map close at hand. Together, the trunk, the seats and the glove box make the Nyala a decent car for short loot runs. It is less suited to moving a whole base, but it handles weekly supply trips with ease.

Chevalier Nyala Parts

The Nyala takes Standard vehicle parts in every slot. That includes the tires, brakes, suspension, gas tank, muffler, battery, doors, windows and seats. Standard parts are the easiest to find, since many of the cars parked around Knox Country share them. A stripped Nyala or any wrecked Standard car is a good parts donor.

Repairing the engine takes a middling Mechanics level, lower than a heavy-duty truck or a sports car needs. A survivor with some practice can keep the engine running for a long time.

Tires and brakes wear out first on any car that sees regular use. The muffler also suffers on rough ground and should be checked often. Old, regular and performance grades exist for tires, brakes and mufflers. Performance tires give the best grip, and a performance muffler cuts the noise. The gas tank comes in small, regular and big sizes, and a big tank stretches the time between fuel stops.

The radio slot takes a car radio, which is handy for listening to broadcasts on the road.

Every part slot of the Chevalier Nyala, the parts it takes for a Standard vehicle and the Mechanics level needed to fit them.

Chevalier Nyala Versions

The Nyala comes in a plain civilian form and in many service liveries. The Police Chevalier Nyala, Muldraugh Police Chevalier Nyala, LCPD Chevalier Nyala, Bulletin Sheriff Chevalier Nyala and State Trooper Chevalier Nyala are all police cars. The Ranger Chevalier Nyala belongs to the park rangers.

The police and ranger cars carry a lightbar with a siren. The siren is loud enough to draw zombies, which makes it a useful lure for pulling a crowd away from a building. It also brings trouble if it is switched on by mistake.

Burnt shells of the plain car and the police car sit along wrecked roadsides. Wrecked Chevalier Nyala shells, smashed at the front, rear or one side, also appear. These shells are a good place to salvage parts for a working Nyala.

Every version of the Chevalier Nyala with its own spawn command. Burnt and wrecked shells cannot be driven but still hold parts.

Chevalier Nyala Locations

Police stations are the best place to find a Nyala, since the police versions park there in numbers. Ranger stations come next, with the ranger version waiting outside. Prisons and average neighborhoods also hold them often.

Civilian Nyalas turn up across most kinds of housing. Trailer parks, poor neighborhoods and struggling neighborhoods all have them. Middle-class streets, parking lots and professional businesses have their share too. Evacuation sites and burnt-out roadsides often hold abandoned or wrecked Nyalas. Junkyards are a good supply of wrecks for parts.
