C9 is favored by many users in recent 10
years ever since its entry into EU market. It can be deemed as King Long’s
popular model in Europe. Comparing with previous model, C9 at this exhibition
is significantly upgraded for the first time, from modeling to upholstery, in
order to achieve remarkable improvements in appearance, safety,
environmental-friendliness, economy, and comfort.
The new C9 is more fashionable and smart
in modeling. It is equipped with A/C deflector to optimize the bus aerodynamic
performance, and realize better fuel-economy. The Q700 high strength steel is
applied on the crucial frame structure, and the structural design is optimized
to effectively reduce the weight of vehicle and improve the structural strength
and safety of the body. Upgraded to full-integral body structure design, this
vehicle is reduced in weight by 350KG compared with 1st generation
C9 to save fuel by 1~2L/100km. The vehicle strength is improved by CAE analysis
and structural design optimization so that the surviving space allowance in
event of rollover is improved by 23mm compared with previous model C9 to realized
better safety.
The straight line and curve are perfectly
designed to form a harmonious and dynamic exterior. The King Long family K mark
endorses its high quality. Daytime running lams, adaptive headlights and
automatic rearview mirrors make the C9 an eye catcher in the road.

verification is conducted on cockpit facilities, making different drivers enjoy
the same convenient driving experience. Optimized design of driving seats and
pedals improves drivers’ driving comfort and facilitates their gear shifting
and steering operations.
The body structure is also newly upgraded.

raised by 18% compared with previous model. The newly upgraded luggage racks
are applied to reduce the weight, and the space dimension between seat cushion
and luggage rack bottom is enlarged for better riding comfort. On this
