The Mercedes-Benz X-Class (W470) is a pickup truck that was sold by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz, a division of German company Daimler AG. Unveiled at a world premiere in Cape Town in July 2017, the Mercedes-Benz pickup took its chassis from the Nissan Navara and employed many Mercedes-specific features and technologies (including some engines not shared with the Navara). It went on sale in late 2017.^[3]^[4]

Development[]

Rear

In 2015, Mercedes-Benz announced that development of a pickup truck was in the works.^[5] The new vehicle, developed in conjunction with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, was to be assembled at Nissan and Renault plants in Europe and South America.

On 25 October 2016, Mercedes-Benz announced a concept class called the X-Class Concept. According to Mercedes, the X-Class would be the world's first true "premium" pick-up truck. Dieter Zetsche, Daimler Chairman and head of Mercedes-Benz cars, said it would help a growing segment. It was slated to be only available in Australia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The top-of-the-range engine would be a turbocharged diesel V6 paired with a 4Matic permanent all-wheel-drive system. Production started in 2017 at the Nissan factory in Spain.^[6]

Promotion[]

On 19 July 2017, the promotional video/advertising spot "Mercedes-Benz X-Class: Pickup Meets Lifestyle – Trailer" was released, with "We Are Young" song by Blues Saraceno as soundtrack.^{[citation needed]}

Models[]

The X-class launched with three trim levels: Pure, Progressive and Power.^[7]^[8]
