最近谍照记者首次拍到了奔驰备受期待的皮卡,该车将被命名为GLT或X级车型。这款车基于日产Navara,目前仍处于开发的早期阶段,该车多个设计元素取自日产车型。尽管如此,仍能发现该车的后轮距更宽,同时采用了外延式后轮拱。车厢内也进行了伪装,这表明内装仍在开发之中,设计者希望能创造出更高档次的内装以便能与日产Navara有更大不同。虽然官方并未透露任何细节,但预计该车将提供两种不同的内装,其中一种主要满足商业用户。另一种显然更高端,目前是追求豪华性和实用性的消费者。该车动力系统选择预计将包括四缸和六缸汽油和柴油引擎,另外据传将推出混动车型,但这一说法并未获得官方证实。奔驰将在今年巴黎车展发布该车的概念版车型,而量产版将于明年发布并将于年底上市。
2017 Mercedes GLT pickup spied for first time
Mercedes' highly-anticipated pickup truck has been spied for the first time.
Set to adopt either the GLT or X-Class moniker, the truck is based on the Nissan Navara and appears to be in the early stages of development as the model has a number of design cues from the Japanese automaker. Despite this, we can see the crew cab pickup has a wider rear track and extended rear fenders.
The interior is camouflaged which suggests designers are already hard at work creating an upscale cabin to help distance the model from its Nissan counterpart. Nothing is official but the truck could be offered with two different interiors including one aimed at commercial users. The other interior would be significantly more upscale and target drivers who are looking for a luxury and practical lifestyle vehicle.
Engine options remain unconfirmed but speculation suggests the truck will be offered with an assortment of four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. There have also been rumors about a hybrid variant but nothing is official as of yet.
Mercedes is expected to preview the model by showing a luxurious new concept at Paris Motor Show in October. The production model will arrive approximately one year later with sales slated to begin in late 2017.
