The fact that Mercedes-Benz has just released a pickup truck is a testament to the fact that the market has abandoned all parameters and has ignited a car manufacturer free for all. Your average truck shopper isn’t just looking for power and reliability anymore, theyre looking for luxury
and amenities now too! Mercedes has heard your wild calls, and they’ve answered with
the super versatile, stereotype shattering X-Class.
Mercedes will offer three distinct variations of the-X
Class; Pure, Progressive, and Power. The Pure X-Class will be an excellent work
truck as it’s focus is on outdoor capability and utility, and would be a great
choice for an upscale contractor. The Progressive variation offers a harmonious
blend of the ultra-performing Pure X-Class and the easier going Power X-Class.
The Power X-Class, contrary to it’s name, is all design, comfort, and easy
going performance. The Power X-Class is more geared towards those who would be
using it as a lifestyle enhancer rather than for outdoor excursions or heavy
duty work.
Mercedes has portrayed the X-Class as a truck that will feel
like a sedan, and be better on the road than other pickup trucks. The dynamics
are to be on par with a passenger car, and the cabin is to be fitted with
plenty of comfort and technological amenities across the board.
The X-Class packs a variety of active and passive safety
systems, including autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist and traffic
sign recognition. It will also work with Mercedes-Benz's connected-car
services, so owners will be able to locate or otherwise check up on their
trucks remotely. This connectivity will also permit door-to-door navigation,
with instructions for first-mile and last-mile navigation appearing along with
whats already in the navigation system.
Its not clear when the X-Class will be released in the US, but you will be the first to know when it is! Stay tuned for updates and information on our site!
