The test vehicle is an example of the versatility of the new Mercedes-Benz Intouro. The compact Intouro K is ideal for applications where great maneuverability is required, for example along mountain passes, winding country roads, driving into old town quarters and routes with manageable passenger numbers. Designed for use in intercity operations, it is also suitable for holiday traffic thanks to its comfortable seating. In any case, its hybrid system makes it highly economical.

Attractive yet economical appearance

An elegant paintwork in anthracite metallic including add-on parts and bright biXenon headlights, plus cost-effective and easy-to-replace outside mirrors on a tubular frame – this Intouro already visually demonstrates the wide range of the intercity bus.

Versatile equipment for use in all weathers

Destination board, mounting pin for payment systems, a preparation for ticket validators, handrails, special-purpose area with four folding seats opposite step unit number two, a passenger signaling system, a bus stop hazard warning system– this Intouro K hybrid is fully configured for scheduled services. Longer may even be better - as thanks to the comfortable Travel Star Eco seating, including adjustable backrests, side wall trim with needle felt, luggage shelves in lattice design and curtains over double-glazed windows, these buses come with comfort equipment for a longer stay on board– even on excursions with small groups.

The interior is skilfully and consistently designed: black floor with bright pattern, seat and backrest with black pattern and May green piping as a color highlight, plus gray curtains.

Attractive cockpit, highly-efficient drive, unrivaled safety

The cockpit of the Intouro is driver-oriented and offers perfect ergonomics. Its appearance and features, from multifunction steering wheel to the electronic parking brake, allow it to operate as a touring coach without restrictions. The cab door provides somewhat of a distance in regular service, while the cabinet in the front section provides welcome storage space. The drive is powerful. The compact, in-line six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz OM 936 is economical and boasts low emissions, also thanks to its recuperation and hybrid module. The torque converter automatic transmission meets high comfort requirements and operates efficiently.

The test vehicle, with its extensive and innovative safety equipment, marks a new chapter, perfectly modeling its class. Whether Emergency Brake Assist 5– ABA 5 for short– or the optional radar-based Sideguard Assist turning assistant with pedestrian detection – both support the driver and effectively protect more vulnerable road users such as pedestrians or cyclists.
