MAN A95:Batch 3 or 4?

Post by SG1201T Citaro »

With the recent introduction of the MAN A95 Batch 4s, which bus do you prefer? The Batch 3 facelift or the Batch 4 Euro 6 buses? Personally my favourite is still the Lion's City DD L (3 Door bus) 😎

One thing I dislike about the Batch 4 Euro 6 models is the fact that they removed the fog lights and replaced it with "placeholders". So Batch 3 for me :lol:

If you ask me about exterior wise, Ill still go for the Batch 3. Looks like neither SBS nor SMRT has activated the full side EDS, insteas choosing only to use a small portion, which makes it inferior to the side EDS of the Batch 3s. So batch 3 for me as well😁

Fog lights aside but the rear tailights is very useful as it is functional as brake lights too..

I still prefer batch 3.
The Euro 6 buses front EDS route number all got squeezed to the rightmost corner. When I stand in front at certain angle, I usually cant see the last digit. Worst if the last digit is 1 (eg sv 671, 991) - refer to the photo below.
And I don't like Euro 6 buses side EDS, as it only display for a brief moment when the bus is at the bus-stop. I still prefer the old side EDS content used by Euro 5 buses.
The Euro 6 interior BUS STOPPING sign is also not as user friendly as the Euro 5 ones. End up some passengers keep pressing the bell repeatedly.
However, as Euro 6 buses got 2 wheelchair bays, the front is more spacious and allow more standing space when the bus is crowded.
