MAN Lion's Coach

The MAN Lion's Coach is an integral coach built by MAN Truck & Bus and assembled by its subsidiary MANAŞ. It was introduced in 1996 as a cheaper alternative to the Lion's Star, with a redesigned front and a three axle version called the Lion's Top Coach, and the original twelve metre version carried 49 passengers behind a six cylinder diesel of 294 or 309 kilowatts. The second generation ran from 2002 to 2017 in three lengths with common rail engines of the D20 series, won a Red Dot award in 2003 and an iF Product Design Award in 2004, and moved through the Euro 3 to Euro 6c emission classes. The third generation was unveiled at Busworld in Kortrijk on 24 October 2017 in four lengths seating up to 63 passengers, and the coach was named Coach of the Year 2020. Special editions include the Team Edition of 2011, limited to 50 units, and the 100 Years Edition of 2015.
