New Model: Riviera 515 SUV

It's the third model of the innovative Rivera SUV line, and this new 515 stands in the middle of this fairly new line which debuted only a couple years back with the 445.  The 515 SUV keeps the rugged line bit sport fisherman and yacht of the range, which seems to be gaining new fans each time a new model is launched. For the 515 SUV Riviera based itself on a new keel type Vee hull shape, created on purpose for pod drives, from both Volvo IPS and the ZF Zeus series.  In its accommodation solutions there is a lot to like in the 515 SUV; from its multi-purpose mezzanine sport fish inspired aft deck, and the latest of the European design trends used inside.  Surely the C-shaped aft positioned galley will be a favorite of many. Below the 445 SUV offers a three double cabins layout with two heads. For below an option for the port side cabin exists, which can be ordered with twin berths or as a double bed, this last transforming this room as the owners in lieu of the one to fore which becomes a VIP.  Power options for the Riviera 515 SUV are three engines which start from Cummins 600hp up to twin Volvo 725hp.
