The Taxi is a four-door sedan in cab paint, a dependable all-round car for daily survival. It is the Chevalier Nyala in a taxi company's colours, and it drives the same way.

The Taxi is a Standard vehicle with four seats. It takes the most common class of car parts, so repairs rarely mean a long search. Its engine is a little stronger than most Standard cars, and its top speed is good for a family car. Engine noise sits in the middle of the range: louder than the small hatchbacks, quieter than any truck or van.

The four doors make it easy for a group to get in and out quickly. The trunk is a fair size for a sedan.

The Taxi suits a new survivor who wants a car that just works, or a small group that needs four seats. Zombies dressed in ordinary street clothes often linger near a Taxi, so a careful approach is wise.

Driving the Taxi

The Taxi drives like a normal sedan. It reaches a good cruising speed on open roads and climbs back to speed quickly after a turn.

The brakes are strong for a Standard car. The Taxi stops in a short distance, which helps when a crowd appears around a bend.

Off the road, it handles grass and dirt about as well as any ordinary sedan. Paved roads suit it best, and long trips across fields 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. The people inside get ordinary protection in a crash, better than in the small hatchbacks and the sports coupes.

Taxi Storage

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

Each of the four seats can hold items when nobody sits in it. A small glove box keeps keys and a few small items close. Together, they make the Taxi a decent car for weekly supply runs.

Taxi Parts

The Taxi takes Standard vehicle parts in every slot. That includes the tires, brakes, suspension, gas tank, muffler, battery, front and rear doors, windows and seats. Its parts match the Chevalier Nyala exactly, and wrecked family cars everywhere carry the right ones.

Repairing the engine takes a middling Mechanics level, lower than a heavy-duty truck or a sports car needs.

Tires and brakes wear out first with regular use. Old, regular and performance grades exist for tires, brakes and mufflers. Performance tires give the best grip. The gas tank comes in small, regular and big sizes. The radio slot takes a car radio.

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

Taxi Versions

The Taxi comes in more than one cab livery. Burnt Taxi shells sit along wrecked roadsides. Their Standard parts fit the Chevalier Nyala and many other family cars.

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

Taxi Locations

Airports are the best place to find a Taxi, with cabs waiting at the curb. Parking lots and junkyards hold them now and then. Burnt shells sit along wrecked roadsides.
