Iveco Magelys: Touring coach, versions and what to check
Iveco Magelys (from 2007) — touring and long-distance coach, previously known as Irisbus Magelys. We look at the versions, engines and what to check when buying used.
Magelys in brief
Magelys — high-floor touring and long-distance coach, initially launched as an Irisbus model, later sold under the Iveco Bus name. It's designed for excursions, intercity routes and express journeys.
Used Magelys models are sought after for their comfortable interiors and economical engines. Price varies greatly depending on mileage, version and body condition.
Versions — what's the difference
Magelys is produced in various lengths and with two or three axles. Depending on the equipment and comfort, there are standard and higher-class (Pro) versions.
Later examples are sold as Iveco Magelys, and the emission standard depends on the year. Before buying, make sure you identify the version and standard.
Engines and gearboxes
Magelys is powered by Iveco Cursor family diesel engines — usually around 9 litres in capacity. The emission standard depends on the year — from Euro 4 to Euro 6.
Gearboxes — manual, automated or automatic (usually ZF). Before buying, test the gearbox and clutch.
What to check when buying a used Magelys
Inspect the body — for dents, wheel arches, door frames and luggage compartment. Start the engine cold and listen for any unusual noises, smoke or leaks.
Check the air suspension, brakes, retarder, air conditioning, seats, and emergency exits. Ask for service history and tachograph data.
In Euro 5 / 6 versions, check the AdBlue and DPF systems. Inspect the seats and floor in the cabin.
