CTS 2026 - Bus DLC: MAN New Lion's City

MAN New Lion’s City 12C, 18C & 19C – The New Generation of Urban Transport

Experience urban public transport at the cutting edge of technology – with the complete MAN New Lion’s City family, now available in the 12C, 18C and 19C variants. Six modern city buses – from the compact solo bus to the long articulated bus – give you maximum flexibility for any route, whether in narrow city streets or heavily trafficked main corridors.

Three Variants, Many Possibilities

• MAN New Lion’s City 12C – 12 meter solo bus with high maneuverability, available with 2 or 3 doors

• MAN New Lion’s City 18C – 18 meter articulated bus for maximum capacity, available with 3 or 4 doors

• MAN New Lion’s City 19C – 18.7 meter articulated bus, the longest variant of the family, available with 3 or 4 doors

All vehicles have been produced in series since 2019 and have set standards in modern urban transport – both functionally and visually.

Realism at the Highest Level

These buses have been digitally recreated with the highest standards of detail and authenticity:

• Highly accurate 3D model based on original manufacturer data

• Highly detailed cockpit with functional elements

• Original sound recordings for engines, doors, fans and interior
