Yes — car customization is returning in GTA 6. Trailer footage shows modified vehicles with aftermarket wheels and body kits, and a custom shop called "Ride Out Customs" has been spotted in-game. The 2022 leaked footage also revealed adjustable vehicle interiors including seat position and mirrors — a first for the series.
What's Confirmed So Far
While Rockstar hasn't released a full breakdown of the customization system, trailer and leak analysis has revealed several key details:
- Ride Out Customs — A custom shop visible in trailer footage, confirming dedicated vehicle modification locations in Vice City
- Modified vehicles in trailers — Multiple cars are shown with aftermarket wheels, custom paint, and body modifications
- Adjustable interiors — The 2022 leaked footage showed players adjusting driver seat height and recline angle — a level of interior interaction never seen in a GTA game
- Multiple vehicle colors — The same car models appear in different colors and configurations across trailer shots, confirming cosmetic customization

What's New in GTA 6
Based on leaks and industry analysis, GTA 6's customization system is expected to go far beyond GTA V:
- Interior customization — For the first time, players can modify vehicle interiors: seat position, steering wheel style, dashboard elements. This ties directly into the improved first-person driving experience.
- Advanced physics-based tuning — Rumors suggest that performance mods will have more realistic effects on handling. Weight, power, and grip will interact in more complex ways than GTA V's simple stat bars.
- Multiple custom shop types — Different shops may specialize in different modification types (performance, cosmetic, off-road, luxury), similar to real-life car culture.
- User-generated content — Rockstar's push toward a creator economy could extend to vehicle customization — custom liveries, body kits, or even vehicle models created by the community.
Customization Through GTA History
Vehicle customization has evolved dramatically across the franchise:
- San Andreas (2004) — First GTA with car modding. Paint, rims, hydraulics, nitrous at mod shops across the state.
- GTA IV (2008) — No customization. A step back that fans widely criticized.
- GTA V (2013) — Los Santos Customs brought extensive cosmetic and performance mods back. GTA Online expanded this massively with Benny's lowrider shop, Arena War vehicles, and weaponized modifications.
- GTA VI (2026) — Expected to combine everything from GTA Online's 13 years of content with new interior modding, advanced physics, and potentially user-generated customization options.
