The Motor Coach Industries J3500 is a luxury tour and charter coach sold in Canada and the United States. At the end of 2017, MCI announced that they were developing a 35-foot J-Series model after customers expressed interest in a smaller coach similar in design to the J4500. In November, MCI previewed their J3500 at the opening of their Bay Area Sales and Service Center in Hayward, California. MCI expects to be ready to begin production of the J3500 by the end of 2018 with deliveries expected to begin in early 2019.[1]
