  • Travel at the highest level in three lengths
  • Tried-and-tested drivetrain with a choice of two output variants

Setra TopClass 500 – these are three fascinating HDH-models on three axles. Dream coaches for dream trips, from the surprisingly maneuverable S 515 HDH to the versatile S 516 HDH and the powerful S 517 HDH, from 12.5 to 14.2 meters in length. With plenty of space for passengers and luggage. And thanks to three axles with plenty of payload reserves.

Travel at the highest level in three lengths

The TopClass S 515 HDH is suitable when size combined with maneuverability is required. The most compact model in the TopClass is particularly handy. Full control, stability and safety even in tight bends? With a turning circle of less than 20 meters, the S 515 HDH always remains superior even on demanding topography. The twelve-meter long coach combines impressive size with agile handling. The 13.3-meter-long TopClass S 516 HDH is the all-rounder, the golden middle of the program, but anything but average. Due to its versatility and exclusivity, the S 516 HDH is always the right choice for demanding journeys. The top-of-the-range TopClass S 517 HDH is the luxury coach for those who think bigger. The HDH model is the flagship for any fleet, offers plenty of space and limitless customisation options. Would you like a little more of everything? Thanks to its length of 14.2 meters, the
S 517 HDH has a huge luggage compartment – space even for large travel groups in a luxurious ambience.

Tried-and-tested drivetrain with a choice of two output variants 

The tried-and-tested drivetrain remains unchanged. The rear of the Setra TopClass is powered by the OM 471 in-line six-cylinder diesel engine. The standard output is 350 kW (476 hp), optionally 375 kW (510 hp). In the TopClass, all engines are coupled with the fully automated GO 250–8 PowerShift manual transmission.
