    The Mercedes-Benz X-Class ‘Bakkie’ Is Finally Official

    Last night the covers came off the first Mercedes-Benz pickup truck or bakkie as we call it and what you are looking at above and below are shots of the new X-Class.

    It is being billed as the first pickup from a premium manufacturer and although it does  not look nearly as cool as the Concept we saw a while back, it will most certainly sell well in the targeted markets (South Africa being one of them).

    Three different configurations will be offered including a work-focused X-Class Pure, a consumer-grade X-Class Progressive, and a lifestyle variant dubbed the X-Class Power.

    • All models come with a practical bed (standard with cargo lighting)
    • Rear bumper has integrated step which can be removed for 180 degree tailgate opening
    • Entry-level models comes with fabric interior (leather can be spec’d)
    • X 220 d – 2.3-litre turbo-diesel 160 hp (120 kW)
    • X 250 d will have a biturbo-diesel developing 187 hp (140 kW)
    • X 200 and an X 350 d with a V6 engine producing 255 hp (190 kW) in the plans
    • You can choose between six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmission
    • Rear-wheel drive will be standard but all-wheel drive will also be available
    • Payload capacity is 1.2 tons and towing capacity is 3.5 tons
    • X-Class standard ground clearance is 202mm but can be increased by 20mm with optional suspension

    The X-Class will go on sale in Europe this November and German pricing starts at €37,294.
