Mercedes-Benz X-Class Pricing and Specification confirmed

Australian pricing and specification for the highly anticipated Mercedes-Benz X-Class luxury ute has now been announced. Launching in April 2018, the first ever X-Class will be initially offered in 13 variants and a choice of two turbocharged four-cylinder engines.

The 2.3-litre high-torque common-rail turbo diesel is available with a choice of two power outputs. In the X 220 d with single turbocharger it generates 120 kW and in the biturbo X 250 d no
less than 140 kW. The X 220 d is available with purely rear wheel drive or with engageable all-wheel drive. The X 250 d is offered with engageable all-wheel drive only.

As standard the X 220 d and X 250 d come with a six speed manual transmission. A seven speed automatic is optionally available for the X 250 d only.

The X-Class will be offered in three grades to suit different lifestyles and work environments: the entry-level PURE variant, mid-spec PROGRESSIVE for improved quality feel and comfort, and POWER as the range-topping lifestyle premium ute.

A more powerful V6 turbo diesel engine – the same powerplant found in the G-Class and E-Class – will be released from mid-2018, bringing 190 kW and 550 Nm to the X-Class flagship model, which will come as standard with permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the 7-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel shift paddles. Pricing will be announced closer to
the release date.
