奔驰去年10月发布了X级皮卡的概念版车型，最近车厂将这款车带到了日内瓦车展上。预计未来的量产版外观将比概念版更低调一些，特别是车尾部分。预计量产版仍将保留概念车的某些独特元素，而其整体造型不会与采用日产Navara内部结构的概念车有很大不同。X级内装完全是奔驰风格，它的内装部件取自C级和V级车，保留了德系车一贯的高品牌内饰材质和自家的信息娱乐系统及座椅系统。该车顶级款将搭载V6柴油引擎和4MATIC全驱系统。日产最新款Navara并未提供四缸引擎，这表明奔驰将搭载自家的引擎。奔驰卡车部门主管Volker Mornhinweg表示，未来的X级将毫无疑问是一辆皮卡，该车将采用梯形车架，高扭矩六缸引擎和恒时四驱。X级将于今晚些时候发布，目标市场包括阿根廷、巴西、南非、澳大利亚和欧洲。

 

Geneva LIVE: Mercedes-Benz Concept X-Class pickup

Mercedes-Benz Vans originally revealed the Concept X-Class, billed as a 'concrete outlook' on the upcoming production pickup, back in October, but we're getting our first exposure to it in the flesh in Geneva this week.

 

The production edition will presumably tone down the styling a bit more, especially at the rear end. Unique styling elements will remain, though its overall shape is unlikely to stray far from its Nissan Navara underpinnings.

 

The X-Class interior promises to be full of Mercedes-Benz design elements, borrowing components from the C-Class and V-Class. The German automaker will integrate high-quality materials and its own infotainment and seating systems.

 

The company has confirmed that a V6 diesel engine will power the top-of-the-line trim, paired with 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive, though additional powertrain details remain unclear. The latest Navara is only offered with a choice between various four-cylinder mills, suggesting Mercedes-Benz will use its own engines.

 

"Our future X-Class will be a pickup that knows no compromise," promises Mercedes-Benz Vans head Volker Mornhinweg. "Ladder-type frame, high-torque six-cylinder engine, and permanent all-wheel drive are compulsory for us."

 

The X-Class will launch later in 2017, targeting buyers in Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Australia and Europe. There are no current plans to bring the new pickup to the U.S.
