The X-Class is here. It’s the first of a new kind.
As the first ever pickup from a premium manufacturer, the X-Class is uniquely versatile. It can be used as a rugged, all-terrain pickup, but also as a vehicle for urban lifestyles and families. The X-Class pushes the boundaries of the classic pickup – offering comfort, design, safety and connectivity in addition to an impressive load capacity of over 1,000kg and a towing capability of up to 3,500kg. Load up your tools, machines, work materials – or your sports and leisure equipment. The choice is yours.
Tough and stylish.
This tough performance pickup delivers a driveability and handling that matches many demands – both with regards to driving dynamics and ride comfort. This is attained thanks to a comfort suspension with the fine tuning expected of a Mercedes-Benz. It consists of a ladder-type frame, rear multi-link solid axle, front independent wheel suspension and coil springs on both axles. By emphasising the surfaces and featuring stripped-down, extremely precise elements, the purist design draws attention to the basic virtues of a pickup in an emotionally appealing way – combined with almost unlimited functionality.
New benchmark in comfort and quality feel.
In the interior, the X-Class elevates comfort and quality feel to a new level within the segment for mid-size pickups. The instrument panel has the concave trim element typical of a Mercedes-Benz. It stretches across the entire width of the instrument panel – a novel feature in this vehicle segment. It creates an open feel and purist modernity. The control and display concept shows the familiar high levels of convenience and ergonomic comfort. The instrument cluster consists of the large, analogue round dials from the C-Class and V-Class. A 5.4-inch colour multimedia display is nestled between the round dials.
Elaborately designed comfort suspension.
The X-Class is the first pickup to deliver both excellent off- and on-road performance. A special feature in this segment: Coil springs are used both at the front and the rear, which contributes to a harmonious suspension comfort. The comfort suspension is designed in such a way that it achieves a high level of driving dynamics and ride comfort on the road, while also delivering maximum off-road capability in conjunction with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The elaborately designed comfort suspension consists of a double wishbone front axle and a rear multi-link solid axle that is ideal for transporting heavy loads and has good articulation capability.
One X-Class. Three body styles.
The X-Class offers a choice of three equipment lines – PURE, PROGRESSIVE and POWER. Designed to deliver varying degrees of functionality, comfort and style, you can choose the one that suits your lifestyle and requirements best. In addition, there are several rear-of-vehicle options to consider, depending on how you’ll use the vehicle most. Add to this a wide range of Genuine Accessories to select from, and you’ll be able to stamp your individuality on the X-Class.
POWER Line
The POWER Line is the high-end design and equipment line. It is aimed at those for whom styling, performance and comfort are paramount. The POWER is a lifestyle vehicle beyond the mainstream - suitable for urban environments as well as for leisure activities off the beaten track. Through its design and high level of equipment it reflects and independent and individualistic lifestyle.
