Best in Class | 3
Focus on peopleWelcome to the Setra family
We have been committed to excellence in coach building for100 years. And it was 60 years ago that a great idea for our integral body and frame took off, and is still successful today.
Right from the start, this innovation was backed by a clear, uncompromis-ing goal: every aspect of a Setra is to be “Best in Class”. This has remained unchanged over the years.
Back then, just like today, this means more than simply constructing the best coach technically possible. Instead, we focus our attention, first and foremost, on people for every new development: on your passengers, your driver – and of course on you as an entrepreneur.
Today, this approach results in coaches that make travelling an expe-rience in itself. Buses that win the enthusiasm of their drivers, motivate them and even instil them with pride. And not least of all, vehicles that constitute a positive investment for you as an entrepreneur. This also will remain so in the future.

The only way to travel Setra TopClass 400
The benchmark of exclusive coaches and a synonym for sophisticated travelling: with exemplary comfort, premium service down to the tiniest details and a trendsetting,
unmistakable design, Setra TopClass cruises with confidence at the pinnacle of its class.
Its features meet even the most discerning requirements. TopClass thus offers drivers and passengers unparalleled comfort and turns every trip into the most pleasant of experiences. Its model security standards give you as an entrepreneur or driver and your passengers the same feeling of reassurance. And the wide variety of features available leave nothing to be desired. All of this goes into making TopClass not only a lucrative source of income but also a stable and valuable investment which pays off from day one.
Moreover, a TopClass vehicle makes sense in terms of figures as well as having an extremely positive impact on your company’s image. It provides an impressive reflection of your own high standards and shows your passengers how important they are to you. And we prove how important you are to us with Setra’s Premium Services. Welcome to Setra!
Setra TopClass – the art of travellingThe ideal combination of comfort and high-tech
Setra TopClass provides the most impressive example of our philosophy of every coach being “Best in Class”. A statement that TopClass is able to
communicate even at a distance: “La Linea”, a brilliantly metallic design element, completely distinguishes the bus and puts it in a unique league all its own. However, the excellent reputation of Setra TopClass is ultimately based on its inner values, of which it has a lot to offer.
Infinitely comfortable.Timeless elegance coupled with a touch of luxury is seamlessly reproduced in the TopClass’ interior. The languages of shape and materials are marked by high quality and first-rate craftsmanship. The comfort of the features ranges from top-quality seats and state-of-the-art multimedia components all the way to the TopSky glass roof, which imparts a definitive feeling of space.
Always custom-made.We have worked hard to be able to tailor your TopClass to suit your wishes, just like made-to-measure apparel. With six model variations to choose from, you are sure to find one that precisely meets your requirements. Add to this a one-of-a-kind portfolio of individual features and a wide selection of various materials. From individual details to
exclusive special wishes: whatever your expectations, our solutions can make them happen.
Setting an example in safety.It is reassuring to know that TopClass is always equipped with the most advanced technology in terms of its safety concept – and that drivers, tour guides and passengers are optimally integrated in this concept. In addition to the standard *Front Collision Guard (FCG), Active Brake Assist (ABA), for example, as well as other manoeuvring assistance systems are available. The modern lighting technology also contributes to making TopClass a shining example in this category with regard to safety.
A whole service life of economy.As an entrepreneur, safety is also important to you in terms of economic considerations. As we are aware of this, we have done our all to make TopClass excel with a particularly economical life cycle cost. Moreover, the high-quality materials and craftsmanship that go into the vehicles ensure optimum earning opportunities and exemplary retention of value. Which ultimately leads to excellent overall cost-efficiency: quality you can count on.

Where the way becomes the destinationOn the road in TopClass’ comfortable interior
10 | Comfort
The Setra TopClass comfort features are perhaps the best way to show your passengers how much you appreciate them. For instance, TopClass has completely redeveloped its seats, which
are made entirely of high-quality materials, just like many other details of the interior.
Not only do you have a selection of various seat models and the very finest upholstery materials – it is now possible to align the seat features with even more precision to suit your requirements and the tastes of your passengers. Suspension seat cushions ensure maximum travelling comfort, and the intuitive operation of every aspect makes individual seat adjustments extremely simple.
As passengers gaze through the TopSky glass roof, they can enjoy excellent comfort provided by the TopAir air-conditioning system, the benefits of the state-of-the-art multimedia equipment with large flat screens and the smooth, quiet ride as the coach cruises down the road. In short: the seat comfort, features and spaciousness of TopClass are top of the line. Even before your passengers arrive at their destination, many will be able to do what they set out to do: truly relax.
Comfort | 13
Comfort comes first The very best conditions for the driver
The comfort of your passengers also depends on how relaxed and concentrated your driver is while on the road. We have therefore taken on the challenge of designing his workplace to be as
comfortable, ergonomic and functional as possible. The spacious and modern cockpit as well as the first-rate driver’s seat, which can be adjusted with precision and also permits relaxed sitting that is easy on the back even on long hauls, serve as the perfect basis.
Many well thought through details for the cockpit help ensure the utmost in comfort. The exterior rear view mirrors, which fold back at the press of a button if the way becomes narrow, are just one of many examples. To make sure that your driver always has a clear view of not only the road but also critical vehicle information, TopClass is equipped with an innovative 3D combination instrument. It alerts to open covers or doors, among other things, and includes a travel computer and fuel consumption indicator.
The adjustable multifunction steering wheel makes it possible to set many functions with ease at the press of a button while a separate climate control system contributes greatly to the driver’s level of comfort. And not least importantly, the separate cockpit door makes entering the TopClass conveniently easy and pleasant.

18 | Safety
The feeling of having the best possible protection Our holistic approach to safety
Discovering cultures, encountering new people, enjoying breathtaking landscapes – these are moments charged with emotion for your
passengers. With a Setra TopClass, you give them that good feeling of being safe on the road. This has been made possible with holistic safety concepts whose elements are interlinked across all vehicle components. These include a whole range of active and passive systems which support the driver and minimise the consequences if worse comes to worst and an accident happens.
Making driving easier.For example, with an ergonomic cockpit design for the utmost in operating comfort plus innovative assistance systems such as the retarder limiter (RL) and the optional adaptive cruise control (ACC).
Improving perception.Modern mirror systems, powerful lighting systems such as Litronic Xenon lights and automatic cornering lamp increase the high protection potential as do the light and rain sensors.
Supporting reactions.For instance, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP™®) considerably reduces the risk of skidding, while the anti-blocking system (ABS), retarder and traction control system (TCS) ensure safe braking and starting. In addition, Active Brake Assist (ABA) und Lane Change Assistant (LCA) provide the driver with optimum support in critical situations.
Minimising damages.The TopClass’ integrated roll bars make for a passenger compartment that can withstand great impact. The Front Collision Guard (FCG)* offers the best possible protection for the driver and attendant.
*FCG included with S 431 DT and Right-hand drive vehicles
The cornering lamp
At speeds of less than 40 km/h, the fog
spotlights automatically convert to
cornering lamps and illuminate curves
with a reflector; this is dependent on
the indicators, position of the steering
wheel and speed.
The Lane Change Assistant (LCA)
continuously measures the lateral
distance to the lane markings and
alerts the driver by means of a
vibration in the seat if he/she leaves
the correct lane.
The retarder limiter (RL)
prevents the vehicle from accelerating
to speeds exceeding the permissible
limit of 100 km/h when going downhill
and thus effectively stabilises the
speed.
More protection when it is necessaryBy far the best distance to keep
The greatest possible safety for your driver is a special priority at Setra. The more effective the protection and support of the driver is, the safer it
is too for all other occupants of the bus on the road.
For instance, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) relieves your driver by automatically maintaining a set distance to the vehicle in front on the basis of continuous measurements. On roads and motorways this boosts not only safety but also comfort. If the bus comes closer than the specified distance, Active Brake Assist (ABA) goes into action. It initiates automatic braking of the vehicle and, if the driver fails to respond to the
visual and acoustic system alerts, performs emergency braking.
If despite these measures a head-on collision is inevitable, the Front Collision Guard* (FCG) realises its protection potential by providing a protected area for the driver and attendant.It is reassuring to have modern systems such as these on board.
*FCG included with S 431 DT and Right-hand drive vehicles
Safety | 21
The optional adaptive cruise control
(ACC) ensures that a constant
distance is maintained to the vehicle in
front, while Active Brake Assist (ABA)
automatically causes emergency
braking if the minimum distance is not
kept.
The Front Collision Guard (FCG)*
provides increased safety in the front
section of the vehicle as well as
underride protection in the event of a
head-on collision. Its absorber
structure converts the impact of the
crash into deformation energy.
At the same time, the cockpit is
pushed toward the rear.
The right choice, definitely This is where to find the TopClass that suits you
S 415 HD 12-metre class: The only thing standard about the S 415 HD is its
proven length – otherwise it remains in a class all its own. The ideal vehicle for a
wide range of different applications: whether an excursion or a luxury trip.
22 | Economy • Variations Economy • Variations | 23
S 411 HD Compact: Measuring 10.10 metres in length, this typical “club bus” is
just right for small, exclusive groups – and turns them into lucrative customers. An
ideal addition to your fleet.
The powerful S 415 HDH: Thanks to its high load capacity, it leaves a lot
of room for the features you wish – from onboard kitchen to TopSky glass roof. Its
three axles guarantee high levels of comfort on the road, und the RAS trailing axle
ensures agility even in sharp bends.
The spacious S 416 HDH: One of the most popular Setra models. Thanks
to its high baggage hold capacity of 12.6 m2, it provides space even for large
baggage items. Moreover, its seating has been optimised for the highest possible
yield.
The longest S 417 HDH: The S 417 HDH with its great length boasts the
largest baggage hold in its class. This makes it a specialist for long-distance
travel routes. With a turning circle of 23.30 metres, it excels with more agility
than many of its shorter counterparts.
The flagship S 431 DT: The king of the king’s class impresses not only on
the road but also on the balance sheet. With up to 87 passengers, the luxurious
double-decker traverses the road with considerably greater economy than two
single vehicles.
In addition to other aspects, size is a consideration in whether a coach pays off for you and your company in the long run. Ultimately, the more precisely its capacity and features suit your specific purposes,
the faster it will pay for itself. With six practice-orientated variations, TopClass offers you a wide range of choices.
No matter which variation you opt for: every single one of them excels with a favourable price/performance ratio, fair investment costs per seat, economical operating and maintenance costs and a high level of operational readiness. If you also include the high resale value in your calculations, you will scarcely find an alternative with a better bottom line.

Welcome to the profit zoneTopClass: a real value investment
ATopClass Setra is a value investment that yields first-rate interest from the moment of acquisition right up to its subsequent resale. This is also as a
result of the economical maintenance and operating costs, which remain at a minimum thanks to state-of-the-art engine and transmission technologies, long maintenance intervals and high and durable quality as well as exemplary reliability. Since travelling in a special bus is worth a special price, opportunities for special profits arise for you. Add to this the unparalleled high resale value that your Setra will one day bring in. This makes every TopClass “Best in Class” also with regard to your bottom line.
Cathodic dip painting (CDP) as well as state-of-the-art undercarriage protection with several components offer
reliable corrosion protection. All in all, excellent conditions in terms of cost-efficiency.
The modern BlueTec® Euro V and optional EEV engines constitute a critical contribution to responsible care of the environment – and of your wallet. You now comply with the voluntary EEV emissions standard even without a diesel particle filter and easily surpass the quality of emissions required by the applicable Euro V standard.
By the way, we always go by the most recent standards when implementing current environmental regulations, safety provisions and European directives, which means that you will be driving on the safe side for a long time with your TopClass.
Modern EEV engines (optional), corro-
sion protection as a result of cathodic
dip painting (CDP) as well as easy
maintenance: these are just a few of
the many benefits that make TopClass
altogether economical.
