: Most models were powered by a Rába-MAN D 2156 10.35-litre straight-six diesel engine. This engine, built under German licence in Hungary, produced roughly 192 PS (189 hp), allowing the bus to reach top speeds of approximately 106 km/h (66 mph).
At its core, the Ikarus 250 was a 12-meter, high-floor coach designed for durability and ease of maintenance. Its rectangular, "wagon-style" body—a departure from the rounded designs of its predecessors like the Ikarus 55—became a hallmark of modern European bus aesthetics during the 1970s. Ikarus 250
