Extraordinary design language
The striking unity of the Flair’s front, sides and rear reflects the very latest in modern automotive design. Accents are provided by the dark A-pillars.
Modern, distinctive, automotive
What makes the Flair so unique? Its exceptional lines and the unified design of the front, sides and rear. This distinctive, automotive exterior reflects the latest developments in modern car design.
Front and rear sections manufactured to the highest quality standards
We manufacture all front and rear sections using highly tear and scratch-resistant glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP). The benefit of this material is that light scratches can be polished out with Gelcoat paste and minor damage can be easily filled and varnished (spot repair).
Unforgettable looks
The front of the Flair showcases the vehicle’s dynamism with unique daylight indicators, subtle chrome details and the brand logo in the centre — special accents as part of a truly memorable design.
Safety on the move.
The Flair now includes airbags, ESP and seatbelt pretensioners as standard — for your protection.
Airbag
An absolute first in the liner class — to ensure optimal protection during an impact, we have installed a driver and passenger airbag. We have ensured the system’s capability via extensive testing and successfully completed crash tests involving both frontal and oblique impacts.
Bulkhead partition
The new bulkhead design meets the highest safety requirements due to its higher stability and stiffness. The partition is constructed from glass fibre reinforced plastic and has been optimised via exhaustive computer simulations.
ESP
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) specifically brakes individual wheels to ensure the vehicle remains safely on course. The ESP on the Flair has been comprehensively tested and will be installed in all models as standard from model year 2018. Also available in combination with the optional air suspension.
Platform
In order to provide our liner with a completely insulated interior floor, the entire driver’s cab has been raised onto a platform. The construction consists of aluminium sandwich panels as well as canted steel plates and is specifically designed to handle the loads generated during a crash.
Side panels
The double floor made from aluminium sandwich panels is screwed, glued and positively interlocked to the side panels on both sides. This results in an extremely stable solution, which scarcely deforms in the event of a crash.
Seat consoles
42 per cent lighter — and yet even stiffer. By reinforcing our seat consoles and optimising their weight, we were able to reduce their structural deformation during a crash by 95 per cent. Two built-in arrestor hooks in each seat console provide additional support in the event of an impact.
Seatbelt pretensioners
To provide maximum safety, the seatbelts must restrain the occupants and tighten as early as possible. The integrated seatbelt pretensioners tighten the seatbelt in a fraction of a second to reduce the risk of injury.
Pedal Release System
Conventional pedals can injure the driver’s legs in the event of a rear-end collision. Our pedal release system drastically reduces this risk — in the event of an impact, the pedals simply fold forwards out of the way.
Your safety comes first.
We have completely redefined safety in liners. The Flair’s exclusive safety concept is quite simply an engineering masterpiece — tailor-made from a single cast. The vehicle has been fundamentally modified to ensure the best possible protection for all occupants. How do you benefit? Through tested and certified safety — proven via numerous, independent crash tests, which the Flair passed with flying colours. We want you to feel safe on every trip.
Safety when on the move
With a driver and passenger airbag as standard as well as ESP, seatbelt pretensioners and a new chassis, we have created the safest Flair ever. After years of development and countless crash tests, we have revolutionised the safety standard of your premium liner.
Fully insulated bus doors
The high-quality, fully insulated bus doors, which are integrated into the side skirt, create an integrated look and allow optimal access to the generous storage space and all under-floor equipment. The optional central locking system can be used to lock all the doors, including the garage doors and the main cabin door, via a single button press.
Your freedom must be boundless
Our idea of using retractable seatbelt supports means a partition wall is completely unnecessary and clears the way for maximum roominess without limits.
The lightness of simplicity
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that give us a certain lightness — in no time at all, the seatbelt supports and seatbelts disappear behind the backrest of the rear seat. Then simply pull out the headrest and stow it away.
The essentials
Inside, you can enjoy pure freedom.
Not just one perfect solution, but 500
When designing your cushions and upholstery, you are entirely free to choose from over 500 design combinations for your new home. All designs can be subsequently changed at any time — including the ceiling cabinet fronts, naturally.
