Called the “Concept X-CLASS“, this futuristic looking truck is said to be fit for the rough terrain encountered during your classic off-roading endeavor, although this luxurious purchase may be one you’d instead like to polish and pamper. This vehicle, deemed “the world’s first true premium pickup for the modern urban lifestyle”, is aiming to target a wealthier and more urbanized demographic, claiming to “focus on five customer groups.“ Those groups are identified as “families with an active lifestyle”, “successful adventurers”, “trend-conscious individualists”, “building contractors, architects, and service providers”, and “landowners”.

As an added value we bring safety, comfort, agility, and expressive design – in other words, everything that distinguishes vehicles bearing the Mercedes star. We will thus appeal to new customers who have not considered owning a pickup before.”
