We had an exclusive opportunity to test drive the new Temsa Prestij, the compact tourist coach that the Turkish manufacturer Temsa will officially launch at Busworld Europe 2025 in Brussels. First introduced in 1992, this model has sold nearly 20,000 units worldwide.

The updated Prestij, announced in June, is powered by a 3-liter, 4-cylinder engine provided by Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, whose chassis is adopted on the Prestij. The vehicle features 7.26 meters in length and 2.26 meters in width, with 3 cubic meters of luggage space. Exterior changes include redesigned front and rear sections with LED headlamps. Inside, up to 29 passengers can be accommodated in the standard configuration.

The driver’s area features a digital instrument cluster with multilingual support, multifunction steering wheel, keyless start and a back-view monitor. Compliance with GSR2 regulations ensures advanced safety systems such as Active Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring.
