The Setra TopClass S 516 HDH exhibition vehicle is a high-gloss three-axle vehicle with a large passenger compartment, enormous payload, and exclusive equipment.

Exterior: HDH model with a confident appearance

Flashing chrome, black front panel, Cosmos Red metallic paintwork including detachable parts, gently shimmering aluminum wheels – the HDH exhibition model of the TopClass at Busworld Europe 2025 is already a statement on the outside and maintains a confident appearance.

Interior: Top class comfort and technology

This impression continues in the passenger compartment. Backlit door sill panel with brand lettering, floor covering with wood‑look decor, the luxurious Setra Voyage Ambassador seating with multi‑part outer cover made of a brown-black Composition fabric combination, adjustable comfort head restraints with suede outer cover, design decor on the rocker switches in bird’s‑eye maple – the TopClass is a top‑class touring coach at first glance. A refrigerator, kitchenette, and washroom and toilet room are a given in this environment.

This impression continues in view of the sophisticated technical equipment: Coach MediaRouter for Internet access, Coach Infotainment Series multimedia system, electrically folding 21.5-inch screens, USB plugs and 230 V connections – together these make up the perfect basis for infotainment on the road.

Cockpit: Attractive and highly functional, with innovative assistance systems

The cockpit of the exhibition vehicle is also characterized by high-quality equipment: Multifunction leather steering wheel, Keyless Start, electronic parking brake with HOLD function. The Setra TopClass S 516 HDH is also equipped with MirrorCam instead of outside mirrors, which contribute to a perfect all-round view, as do the surround lighting for reversing and the 360° camera system. There are also assistance systems that set standards for buses: Active Drive Assist 2 including Active Steering Assist, adaptive cruise control with stop‑and‑go function, Active Brake Assist 6, the latest generation of Predictive Powertrain Control, Sideguard Assist 2, Frontguard Assist, Traffic Sign Assist, Attention Assist, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring system (TPM) – these cannot currently be improved upon and open up completely new possibilities for bus driving.

The equally superior powertrain harmonizes with the superior appearance of the TopClass. The powerful yet highly efficient OM 471 engine with 375 kW (510 hp), the fully automated GO 250‑8 PowerShift transmission, and the RO 440 drive axle come from a single source and are perfectly matched to one another.
