The Setra S 417 HDH is a 14-metre (45-foot) luxury touring coach from Setra's TopClass 400 line. With 17 rows of seats, it can seat up to 59 passengers. The S 417 HDH was launched in Europe in 2001, but was not available in North America until 2003. In 2014, it was replaced by the TopClass 500 S 517 HDH in Europe. The S 417 HDH continued to be sold in North America until 2021 when Daimler launched the Mercedes-Benz Tourrider as its replacement.

A distinctive feature of the S 417 HDH and other TopClass 400 coaches is a silver band that facilitates in drawing fresh air into the coach. The TopClass 400 also introduced an option for the TopSky glass roof. This and the rear window option were introduced to North American coaches in 2007. Another feature eventually adopted on North American coaches was the second door before the rear wheels in 2014. In addition, the lavatory can be located ahead of this second stairwell. Setra also introduced the "Club Corner" to North America in 2014. Six or eight seats are arranged in a U-shaped configuration, with a center table and galley at the sides in the rear.[1]

In 2008, Setra introduced Front Collision Guard (FCG) on their coaches. FCG incorporates underrun protection, energy absorption, and a driver's module that is pushed rearwards in a collision. Setra introduced FCG on North American coaches with their EPA 2010 compliant coach at the 2010 UMA Expo in Las Vegas along with new cornering lights and rain and light sensors.[2]

The driver's area features an ISRI air-ride seat equipped with a three-point seatbelt. A heated seat option is available. For the 2011 model-year a new steering wheel with integrated controls was introduced. The instrument panel has a 3D color display, and reversing assist is available for the driver which includes a colour rearview camera.

At the 2017 UMA Expo in St. Louis, Missouri, Setra introduced a facelifted S 417. Borrowing from the TopClass 500 aesthetic, the coach features a gloss black Setra nameplate with chrome letters. The bumper was reshaped, and the fog lights are accented with chrome.[3]
