Are you new to CarX Street? The game boasts a fantastic lineup of racing cars that makes it dominate the market. But to immerse yourself in thrilling races and high-speed action, it's necessary to know about the starter cars of CarX Street.
The game begins with you driving a high-tier vehicle before quickly removing it from your inventory so you can start your real journey by choosing one of the three CarX Street starter cars.
But which of the three poses the most potential? In this article, we'll rank every starter car from CarX Street to find out their perks, as well as their drawbacks.
3. NX5
The rebranded Mazda MX5, the NX5, is a well-known drifting starter car on CarX Street. But while you can opt for it during CarX Street Drift events, the NX5 majorly lacks in various places.
For starters, the NX5 heavily lacks speed. It's a major drawback and makes it difficult to travel within the in-game open-world. In addition, its poor drift performance makes the NX5 lose considerable speed while drifting. Moreover, its slow acceleration is another considerable flaw which unfortunately results in the NX5 ranking lower in CarX Street events.
Thankfully, these downsides are easily solvable. You can upgrade the speed and acceleration later to create a more drivable NX5. So, while the game's stock performance is slow, players have full control to improve it.
Lastly, CarX Street developers understand NX5's most redeeming quality is its look. Its appreciative design is why the NX5 is the most customizable starter-friendly car in-game.
2. HC6
Not only is the HC6 the only FWD vehicle in CarX Street, but it is also the direct remodel of the 1994 Honda Civic. While it struggles a little during Drift events, its reliable grip and turning make it a fantastic ride for the open worlds.
You can, of course, use the e-brake to drift at low speed. However, sharp turns can cause the HC6 to crash into the outer barriers. And since CarX Street has major drift-focussed events, the HC6 isn't the car to win matches with.
You'll need constant e-brake usage to ensure this starter car remains on the tracks. Outside of this, the HC6 is reliable for sprint races, and a few upgrades make it a decent CarX Street starter car.
1. DTS
The DTS pickup truck directly replicates the 1973 Datsun 620 and is one of the best well-balanced starter cars to feature in CarX Street. It's well-suited for drift events and chaining, and it can also hold onto a drift long enough to gain plenty of Drift points.
While the HC6 and the NX5 have several drawbacks, the DTS comes with two exclusive strengths. Not only does it boast the best starter drifting abilities, but it also offers a powerful engine to rely on. Plus, its speed is also faster than the NX5 and the HC6.
However, like every other vehicle on CarX Street, the DTS has its drawbacks. It's plain-looking and comes with a few body kit options. So, there are limited customization options for players who are into personalizing their rides. But if appearance isn't your primary concern, then the DTS packs a solid punch on the racing grounds.
In conclusion, these three are the starter cars of CarX Street. While NX5's stock performance is mediocre in comparison to HC6 and DTS, it's a popular Miata design. Similarly, HC6's speed is slower than a DTS, but it easily outpaces an NX5 on the tracks.
Finally, DTS' versatility in its drifting and engine potencies outranks it from the other two cars, but its simple design is a downer. So, try out your favorite today to experience their perks and understand each utility in your CarX Street experience.
