With Night City’s gangs and streets now suitably aired, CD Projekt Red has turned its attention to clothes and cars (and a little bit on bikes) as part of its ongoing series of informative pre-launch videos, with off-road and off-rack details ensuing.
Cars, or “chill rides to get around fast”, as CD Projekt calls them, will all fall into a number of distinct classes, and each will “not only look unique but…deliver a unique driving experience”.
At the bottom of end of the scale is the functional, if not exactly eye-catching, Economy class – full of “utility vehicles and low-end clunkers” – which includes the likes of the Archer, Thornton, and the delightfully compact Makigai.

Executive vehicles take a “no expense spared, no frill ignored” approach with the latest tech, and Heavy Duty vehicles, which include the likes of trucks and tanks, feature “masterful engineering and masterful design” specialising in power and brute force.
For those that prefer speed and style above all else, there are Sports cars – intended for “street racing, running from the NCPD, or just showing off on the streets” – which feature powerful engines and exchangeable parts, while Hypercars prioritise speed and armour, featuring precise body work, built-in lidar arrays, and “really expensive materials”.
