Exterior-wise, the pickup mostly borrows the design from other Mers. The front fascia, accordingly, is distinctively Mercedes with a massive grille and large three-pointed-star badge. Because of riding on the Navara’s platform, it comes as no surprise when we can see a chunky bumper with integrated steps at the rear.

The cabin comes standard with Mercedes’ 5.4-inch, or an optional 8.4-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, electric seats with lumbar support and comfortable rear seats. Leather seats are also available for an extra cost.
Under the hood, there are three engine options given: a diesel available in either the X220d or X250d trims producing respectively 163 hp and 190 hp, a 165 hp petrol unit in addition to a more powerful X350d with 258 hp and 550 Nm of torque. Power is fed to rear wheels via either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic one. Further, an all-wheel-drive system will be introduced soon.
As expected, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class pickup truck will be launched in the home country this November at a cost of €37,000 (P2.44 million) before entering the rest of the European market.
