The Merula is Albany's newest sedan in the Sedans class, added in the Kortz Center Heist update on July 14, 2026. It seats 4 and Southern San Andreas Super Autos sells it for $1,394,000. It is available in GTA Online only rather than in GTA 5 story mode. Top speed, lap time and race tier are not confirmed here yet, since it is one of the newest cars in the game at the time of this write-up. It is rear-wheel drive and comes with a spoiler and lowered suspension from the factory, both hints that it is built with some sporting intent. Given how recently the Merula arrived, its true pace within the Sedans class is still an open question. Expect community testing to confirm where it lands once more players get behind the wheel.
