The Mercedes-Benz X-Class is built on the basis of the Nissan Navara model, but differs from the Japanese model with a rear multi-link suspension instead of leaf springs, as well as an exclusively four-door layout. At the same time, the ground clearance of the German is noticeably less – 202 mm versus 230. The payload capacity of the pickup is just over one ton in the body and 3.5 tons on the trailer.
The interior is made in the "Mercedes" style and practically does not remind of the Japanese roots of the model.
Initially, the engine lineup of the X-Class pickup will consist of two 2.3-liter diesels with 163 hp (403 Nm) for the X 220d version and 190 hp (450 Nm) for the X 250d variant. Over time, a six-cylinder 3-liter diesel engine producing 258 hp (550 Nm) will be added to the range.
For the Mercedes-Benz X-Class, a wide list of options is offered, among which one can highlight the surround view system, automatic braking function, and 22-inch alloy wheels.
European sales start in November. The price on the domestic market starts from 37 thousand euros.
