On Tuesday, Mercedes-Benz gave the public a first look at the company's upcoming pickup truck in the form of
the new X-Class Concept. According to Mercedes-Benz, the new X-Class will be the world's first true "premium"
pickup truck.
Introduced in a ceremony in Stockholm, the new X-Class marks Mercedes' official entry into what is perhaps the
most competitive, territorial, and lucrative segment in the automotive market.
"With the Mercedes-Benz pickup, we will close one of the last gaps in our portfolio," Dieter Zetsche, Daimler
chairman and head of Mercedes-Benz cars, said in a statement. "Our target: We want to offer customers vehicles
matching their specific needs. The X-Class will set new standards in a growing segment."
In the US, the midsize pickup segment, where the X-Class would compete, is growing at more than 20% a year. It
also dominates in Argentina, Australia, and Brazil.
Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz does not plan to offer the X-Class for sale in the US when it enters production late
next year. Or perhaps fortunately for Mercedes, as the US pickup market is dominated by the Detroit Three.

official pricing information for the X-Class has been released.
Here's a closer look at the Mercedes-Benz X-Class pickup:
On Tuesday, Mercedes' Van division debuted two versions of the

The Powerful Adventurer is less understated. The truck's rugged
pretensions are evident in its interior, which comes complete with a ﬁre
extinguisher.

Power for the X-Class is expected to come from a turbocharged diesel
V-6 engine paired with a 4Matic permanent all-wheel-drive system. In
addition, the X-Class will be equipped with a transfer case with
reduction gear and two differential locks to get through tough terrain.
