The model coming to the UK features a double cab and the firm’s selectable 4Matic all-wheel drive system. There’s also a drive selection mode to suit the circumstances.
Engines for the Mercedes X Class
From launch, there will be three engines for the Mercedes X Class available including a turbocharged 2.3 litre diesel unit with four-cylinders, the X220d 4Matic.
This engine will produce 163 bhp and there’s the choice of a 2.3 litre diesel unit with a twin stage turbocharger that will produce 190 bhp. The smaller engine is coupled to a six speed manual box while the larger engine is available for all three models with a seven speed automatic transmission.
Three distinctive Mercedes X Class models
There are three distinctive Mercedes X Class models that will suit different work environments and lifestyles.
For those looking for robust use with a pickup, there’s the Pure followed by the Progressive which delivers high levels of comfort and quality.
However, the Power model is probably going to be the most popular X Class since this is a pickup designed as a high-end option for those looking but something to suit their urban lifestyle.
