Mercedes Benz X-Class Pickup Truck

The pickup truck’s days as a simple workhorse vehicle are numbered, thanks to the introduction of Mercedes-Benz X-Class. The one ton truck comes in two variants: “stylish adventurer” and “powerful explorer”—the latter is the more rugged, extreme terrain version of the popular four-door, short-bed configuration. The luxury interior for both models features brown and white leather as well as many of the lush touches typically associated with the German brand. The X-Class will arrive in late 2017 in Europe. While there are no immediate plans for its arrival in the U.S, the X-Class is likely to affect future pickup introductions much the way the company’s M-Class boosted the luxuriousness of SUVs 20 years ago. mercedes-benz.com.
