According to the plan, the first guests will see the Mercedes-Benz X-Class (the name of the pickup truck) on October 25, it is not clear whether the press will be present at this event or not. After the introduction to guests, Mercedes-Benz will officially launch this pickup truck at the Sao Paulo 2016 exhibition in Brazil, which will take place from November 8.

Although developed by Mercedes-Benz's truck division, the vehicle will be sold at the company's car dealerships. The markets that will be suitable for it, according to Mercedes, are Australia, South America, Africa and parts of Europe. The US market will not have access to this vehicle because it is "too small" compared to American needs.

This could very well be the design of Mercedes-Benz's first pickup truck.

The truck will have the full Mercedes-Benz character. That means premium materials, soft-touch surfaces, and a variety of engine options. There will even be AMG versions (both cosmetic and performance). That means a 43 Sport or 63 AMG with a powerful V8. There will also be a focus on safety.

Some sources say that AMG designers will also "intervene" to create an AMG variant of this all-new pickup model.

The X-Class is likely to be powered by four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, mated to either automatic or manual transmissions. Mercedes-Benz may also develop a hybrid variant later on.
