These D4500CTs were delivered with the new GO Transit livery and CCTV cameras. The front window sun shades are controlled remotely by the driver, rather than having to be manually pulled down in all other GO Transit buses. The interior of this batch of buses differs from GO's other D4500CTs as the interior trim on the ceiling and walls uses a fabric with a more plush pile and different pattern. These buses also have an updated steering wheel similar in appearance to those on some of [[GO Transit 1600-1619|the 1600-1619]] series. This series was mistakenly delivered with Recaro driver seats, which were kept. They were eventually switched over to the GO Transit standard.

The floor from the stairs to the top of the ramp is grooved (same as that on [[GO Transit 1600-1619|the 1600-1619]] series), and the stairwell area is more narrow than older D4500s in the fleet.
