Kia Motors Launches Luxury Large Bus 'Granbird Privacy 31'

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Kia Motors announced on the 9th that it will launch the premium large bus 'Granbird Privacy 31,' which extensively applies contactless features.

The newly released upgraded model was developed to suit the contactless era caused by the spread of COVID-19 by increasing individual private spaces and appropriately placing antibacterial materials to provide a comfortable interior environment, based on the existing 'Granbird Super Premium.'

The Granbird Privacy 31 applies independent premium seats that expand passengers' private space by increasing the front-to-back distance between seats from the existing 845mm to 900mm, a 55mm increase, and enlarging the seat width from 480mm to 630mm, a 150mm increase.

Additionally, antibacterial curtains are installed between seats to block droplets and provide privacy space, minimizing contact between passengers.

To create a comfortable interior space, a plasma cluster ionizer that generates ions for antibacterial and sterilizing effects is also installed. Furthermore, the interior environment is improved by adding an air purifier that produces clean indoor air, an automatic indoor air ventilation system for fresh outside air supply, and an electric hatch that facilitates air circulation during driving.

The price of the Granbird Privacy 31 starts at 193.6 million KRW for the standard decker model and 209.4 million KRW for the high decker model.

A Kia Motors official said, "The Granbird Privacy 31 maximizes passengers' private space to ensure customers can use the vehicle safely and comfortably in the COVID-19 era," adding, "We expect it will help expand demand in the large bus market, which is facing difficulties due to reduced mobility."
