The UVG Urbanstar was a step-entrance and low-entry midibus bodywork built by UVG in Waterlooville, England for the Dennis Dart and Dart SLF chassis. It was later marketed as the Caetano Compass in production with Salvador Caetano. It was mainly sold to small provincial operators throughout the UK, with some being sold to mainstream London-based operators.
A common feature about the Urbanstar/Compass was that it has a rounded roof dome (more rounded as compared to the Nimbus), a double-curvature windscreen and a separately mounted destination display.
It was superseded by the Caetano Nimbus low-entry midibus bodywork for the Dennis Dart SLF chassis only.
