Cost-effectiveness: everything under one roof.
The ComfortClass 500 brings together high-level cost-effectiveness,
powerful performance and environmental compatibility. For
example, thanks to the BlueEFFICIENCY Power engines from
Mercedes-Benz, which also achieve best marks in terms of
performance and weight.
The ComfortClass 500’s highly rigid yet lightweight support
structure ensures favourable fuel consumption, as well as
intelligent energy and consumption management. Further more,
its consistently aerodynamic outer shell which, together with
automatic level lowering at high speeds, reduces consumption
even further.
With the optional Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC), Setra offers
the driver for the first time ever a driver assistance system
which, in addition to speed and brake control, intervenes in the
automatic transmission control.*
Because the system knows the topography ahead thanks to GPS
maps, it can proactively optimise switching times and cruise
speed – especially in ascent and descents – and therefore act
more fuel-efficiently. Predictive Powertrain Control makes the
ComfortClass 500 even more cost-effective.
This and many other measures contribute to the
ComfortClass 500’s consumption remaining pleasingly
low. And, thanks to a whole series of clever weight
optimisation measures, the load and passenger capacity
of the ComfortClass are exceptionally high.
All of this provides you as an operator with crystal clear
financial benefits – along with even further optimised
maintenance costs. And, one day, you will also capitalise
on the high resale value of your ComfortClass 500.
* 95% of approx. 300,000 km of highways and federal roads in Europe
are currently already covered.
Aerodynamic design: with its drag coefficient of 0.33, the ComfortClass also
sets a new benchmark in air resistance.
More cost-effective on the road: The Eco Driver Feedback (EDF, optional)
gives the driver individual feedback on his personal driving style. The goal is to
exploit every potential in terms of fuel savings.
Consumption optimisation made easy: Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC,
optional), in combination with the PowerShift transmission, ensures an
efficient speed curve and an optimal gearshift sequence based on forwardlying
topography.
