The Mercedes-Benz Concept X-Class is a concept for a pickup truck by Mercedes-Benz.
Development
In 2015, it was announced that a truck was in the works. Mercedes-Benz had never produced a pickup truck before.
On October 25, 2016, Mercedes-Benz announced a concept class called the X-Class Concept. According to Mercedes-Benz, the new X-Class will be the world's first true "premium" pickup truck. Dieter Zetsche, Daimler chairman and head of Mercedes-Benz cars, said it would help a growing segment. It is slated to be only on sale in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The engine is expected to be a turbocharged diesel V-6 engine paired with a 4Matic permanent all-wheel-drive system. Its production is expected to start in 2017 in Argentina and Spain.
