Standard & optional equipment

The equipment choices on the 2026 HLE platforms — one line per decision, grouped the way you’d spec the bus.

Reading the grid: S = standard on that platform · O = available as an option · — = not offered on that platform.

Equipment by section

Standard and optional together, one section per system. Not every optional combination is buildable together — your dealer will confirm the ones that are.
