The ComfortClass 500. Whatever your plans. 2 What drives us.

What really drives us is a passion for creating something greater. A passion that isn’t entirely fulfilled by our wanting to design and build technologically excellent coaches. Our thought process begins at a much earlier stage. It puts people and their needs at the centre of every development we undertake: the passengers, the driver and of course the operator. Every Setra is specifically customised to your business plans and that is how we can ensure maximum over cost-effectiveness. That is ultimately the take-off point for what we do.

The ComfortClass is a versatile coach concept that beautifully meets the high demands for cost-effectiveness, safety and flexibility. What distinguishes the ComfortClass perhaps more than anything is its extremely wide variety of versions – which enable close to any business model to come to life. Its high level of comfort transforms every journey into a memorable experience for both your driver and your passengers.

Our commitment to building exceptional coaches is almost as old as the history of the coach itself. As the pioneer and progressive thinker Otto Kässbohrer invented the self-supporting coach body over 60 years ago, a far-reaching idea was born. One that would forever change the world of coaches and buses. Welcome on board!

3 The ComfortClass 500. What are you currently planning?

Whether a round trip, a city tour or long-distance travel: no two trips are identical. In the ComfortClass 500, with its wide variety of models and equipment variants in different lengths, heights and door positions, you will always find exactly the coach that best fits your travel concepts.

The ComfortClass is also well versed to handle the growing needs and wishes of your passengers. And in the cockpit, your driver will feel wonderfully comfortable, thanks to outstanding ergonomics.

Cost-effectiveness, ecology and performance all come together harmoniously in the ComfortClass. With underlying technology that suits today’s high demands as masterfully as its aerodynamic design and high safety standard.

Welcome to the ComfortClass 500.

4 5 6 The HD models. Invitingly spacious and comfortable.

The high-decker coaches are perfect if you’re travelling with discerning passengers on extended trips with a lot of luggage.

The range’s spectrum extends from the compact and very agile S 511 HD, all the way through to the S 519 HD. The latter is the right choice if you are traveling with many passengers. As the longest coach in the ComfortClass, it is also ideal for long-distance line services. The S 511 HD is the ideal club touring coach for quality trips with a limited number of passengers, for VIP shuttle applications, or even for use on cycling tours with a trailer.

In short: the HD models from the ComfortClass offer exactly the right coach to meet any requirements – thanks to their wide range of variants.

7 8 The MD models. Less height, more flexibility.

The ComfortClass MD models bring together the fascination of modern touring coaches with contemporary efficiency thinking. As middle-deckers, they open up a whole new coach segment. They are therefore ideal for tours with less luggage and high-level travel comfort – for long-distance line services as well as for occasional services.

The lower vehicle height of the MD models results in especially low air resistance, less curb weight, and therefore favourable consumption, combined with a high payload.

Their interior standing height is outstanding and their customisation options are diverse. You can look forward to receiving exactly the level of equipment for your MD that suits your touring applications: from the basic standard-equipment all the way through to fully customised high-level comfort. In short, the MD will adapt to your plans with absolute flexibility.

9 10 On the inside: more space for comfort. The ComfortClass 500’s inner greatness.

Outstanding spaciousness is what distinguishes travel in a ComfortClass 500. From the first moment onwards: the kneeling function, the wide steps and the elegant handrail make boarding the coach a pleasure.

The interior standing height of 2.10 metres and the exceptional ceiling concept create an outstanding feeling of space: the passenger compartment opens upwards on the sides, enabling a sweeping view through the large panoramic windows.

The current Setra seat generation, with its comfortable, ergonomically shaped backrests, ensures maximum seating comfort and ease of use. And, to open up a generous view to the outside for all passengers. For many seat models, the aisle seats can be configured using a staggered approach, six centimeters to the front of the window seats, on request.*

* Not available for the MD models.

11 The cockpit makes driving a dream. Ergonomic design at its most refined.

The ComfortClass 500 is consistently designed for the comfort and well-being of the driver. Even at first glance, the Comfort Coach Cockpit radiates an exceptional feeling of safety (image to the right). But most of all, an entirely new instrumenta­tion, an enhanced overview and consistent operating logic throughout thee coach all combine with superb ergonomics.

For example, the driver’s seat, steering column and steering wheel offer multiple adjustment options. The exceptionally practical storage concept in the cockpit addresses the needs and wishes of many drivers. Invisible heating at the driver’s window contributes to very pleasant temperature control.

The standard-equipment cockpit found in the MD models is ideally conceived for the driver (image below). In these vehicles, the Comfort Coach Cockpit is available as special equipment.
