Lowrider is one of the vehicles available in the game Hill Climb Racing 2.
Overview[]
Fasten your seatbelt and go fast in style.
Lowrider is a vehicle introduced by Fingersoft on April 28, 2022 (Version 1.50.2). The vehicle is a reference to the original game, where it also had its respective Lowrider. The Lowrider could be obtainable through "The Queen of the Bay" event at 400 points, though now it is obtained by reaching Challenger III on the Trophy Road.
The Lowrider has a very unique ability, and that is the built-in hydraulics. Similar to Jump shocks, tapping both pedals will make the vehicle jump, the major difference with this system, that Jump shocks doesn't have, is the fact that in order to get the most of the hydraulic system, you need to wait for them to retract inside the vehicle, to get a maximum jump. You can still jump when the hydraulics are expanded, but the jump power will be much less powerful than when they are retracted back inside the vehicle. The only way to "recharge" the hydraulics is by driving forward, with at least one wheel spinning on the ground. The hydraulics barely get you anywhere when you have no fuel, so Kangaroo is a poor choice for this vehicle. The vehicle's fuel tank is really small, (only 35 seconds) so this vehicle is not very good in adventure. You can know when the hydraulics are fully recharged when the vehicle becomes very low, sometimes causing the chassis to unintentionally collide with the ground. (This issue can be avoided by pressing both pedals to increase the vehicle's ground clearance/height). The Lowrider has the same grip as the CC-EV, Hot Rod and Supercar, but while the hydraulics are charging, it gives a small grip boost while going uphill. However, Winter Tires are needed to climb icy roads and steep hills.
Masteries[]
In the 1.62.0 Update, Fingersoft added some buffs for Lowrider. These buffs can be unlocked after maxing out the vehicle's tunes. Said buffs make the vehicle better in various ways.

Unlocks the 4th tuning part slot | +1 Tuning Slot |
Lowrider's masteries give improvements to its effectiveness in Time Attack with an increased top speed with Overdrive and improved jump shocks with Piston Boost. With Mega Tank and its fuel tank improvements, it allows the Lowrider to have a slighter edge in Adventure, though Piston Boost isn't good for adventure since it allows Lowrider to have its charged state more often which have stiffer suspension which is not good in Adventure. It's 4th tuning part slot, just like for all other vehicles, give it lots of more tactics both in Adventure and in Time Attack.
Customizations[]
See Vehicle Paints List for pictures and more information.
The Lowrider comes with 15 different paints and 5 different wheels that can be obtained (VIP paint and wheel aren't included, but you can get it with VIP subscription). After purchasing, it has free green paint and a wheel to start with.
Trivia[]
- When fully charged, its hydraulics are stronger than Super Diesel's Jump Shocks. (Which are the strongest Jump Shocks tuning part in the game)
- Nicknames for lowrider are The Flexing Car and Gangdraulics.
- Its idle animation includes the rims spinning, (All wheels except the Legendary Survivor wheels) like the legendary wheel paint (Ivar Icegrille) for Super Diesel.
- The door can be broken. It's hard, but possible.
- In Cups, when it enters the finish line, it plays a celebratory animation: the hydraulics are activated repeatedly, causing the vehicle to jump around in place within the finish line.
- Lowrider, seemingly based on little and modified '64 Chevrolet Impala.
- Lowrider has 2 breakable parts; Its mirror and door. Its mirror can be broken if it turns upside down on a flat place and the driver falls, but its door is really difficult to break in the game. In order for the door to break, it must be hit flat on a sharp place, but this is really very difficult.
