Iveco Magelys Lounge
Iveco had the star
attraction of the show, as the Magelys was crowned as the “International Coach
of the Year 2016”. The top of the line “Lounge” version was displayed bearing
the colours of the prestigious rugby team, the New Zealand All Blacks. The
coach was stunning with all black and nevertheless being crowned as the Coach
of the Year. Magelys is available in two lengths – 12.20 m and 12.8 m – and three
versions – Line, Pro and Lounge.
The Magelys Lounge, a “full
options” version unveiled at Busworld, is based on the standard of the Pro
version. It benefits from the range of equipment: AS-Tronic gearbox, lateral
sun blind, driver’s seat armrest, electric defrosting of the driver’s window,
GPS, reversing camera, camera for the centre door, hostess seat, hostess
cupboard, hostess microphone, hostess camera, coffee machine, camera filming
the road for the passengers, and glazed central roof section. The other options
include seats with adjustable headrest, USB sockets, touch screen radio display
and two games tables at the rear allowing eight passengers to sit opposite one
another for a more relaxed experience.
The Magelys is equipped as
standard with ABS brakes, ASR to optimise traction control and grip during
start up, ESP to correct the vehicle’s trajectory when cornering and prevent
the vehicle from swerving off the road, AEBS emergency brakes and a lane
departure warning system (LDWS), a useful aid that warns the driver of any loss
of concentration or sleepiness. As an option, the Magelys can be fitted with
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which uses radar to ensure a safe distance is
kept from the vehicle in front and automatically triggers the engine brake and
retarder if this distance suddenly decreases.
